The influence of Pythagoras in mathematics and philosophy remains strong today, as do the mysteries surrounding the great Greek philosopher. Like philosophy and religion, the science of mathematics can change the way we perceive the world and has a massive impact on our lives.

Pythagoras’ philosophy influenced both Plato and Aristotle, and through them his ideas were fundamental in Western philosophy. The Pythagorean school was pivotal in the evolution of human intellect and in raising the level of philosophical thought for 2,500 years.

In his life 2,500 years ago, the Greek philosopher combined philosophy, mathematics, and religion, and his work and ideas are still influential to this day. The Pythagorean theorem remains fundamental in mathematics and is taught in schools across the world.

This practical ebook features an introduction to Pythagoras and an analysis of his theorem for young students. It also includes exercises for practice, and their answers at the end.

Ever needed a review activity on transversals and triangles that was fun and engaging for your students? Team Target Review is a cooperative and competitive activity designed to get students thinking, talking, and working together.

Teams of 2-4 students work together to complete increasing levels of difficulty on transversals intersecting parallel lines and the interior and exterior angles of triangles. As students progress, you can quickly assess mastery and give intervention help on the spot.

This activity works great as an engaging review session before an assessment, a quick(ish) activity on one of those pesky minimum days where you have limited time, or as part of a block period when you want to break up the direct instruction.

This activity includes:

-Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).

-Six rounds with 4 problems each of targeted review on transversals and triangles for 8th grade.

-Complete worked out solutions for each round.

Note: This activity does not cover the Pythagorean Theorem!

If you enjoy this activity you might also like my other Team Target Review activities, or check out my Level Up products, which provide students increasing levels of challenge they can do at their own pace.

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity provides 5 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite skills involving 7th grade basic triangle skills.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse after teaching the concepts, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Five levels with 4 - 7 questions each.
• Complete answer keys for each level.

Find The Shape Twins is a fun, engaging way to introduce congruence through rigid motion transformation (translation, rotation, reflection) to your 8th grade math students. Students work individually and in teams to solve 10 different puzzles by creating two congruent shape twins from each given figure. This activity has puzzles of different challenge level, providing all of your students with a memorable experience.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete lesson directions and ideas for optional extension activities.
• One large example puzzle to use during lesson delivery.
• Student work packet including 1 example puzzle, 10 puzzles to solve, and a Reflect & Analyze exit ticket.
• 1 Extension activity page.
• Complete solutions for all puzzles and the Reflect & Analyze page.

This lesson will help your students see how two figures are congruent if one can be mapped onto the other through translation, rotation, and/or reflection. It is a great way to start a unit on congruence, and the included extension activity allows students to create and share their own Shape Twins puzzles.

Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade congruence and similarity using rigid and non-rigid transformations such as dilations, rotations, translations and reflections. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor.

The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills of identifying corresponding sides and angles between similar and congruent figures, then "level up" all the way to describing a sequence of multiple transformations that maps one figure onto another. Students must use these sequences to determine if two figures are congruent, similar, or neither.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Five levels with 4 - 16 questions each
• Complete answer keys for each level.

My students love "Level Up Day" in my own classroom, and the activity works great as independent practice, a pairs activity, or even group work. I also use this when I need a majority of students working independently while I pull a small group for intervention.

Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade angle relationships in triangles and parallel lines cut by a transversal. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor, covering:

• Triangle Angle Sum Theorem
• Alternate interior angles
• Alternate exterior angles
• Corresponding angles
• Same side interior angles
• Same side exterior angles
• Exterior angles of a triangle

The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills of measuring & naming angles, and working with complementary, supplementary, and vertically opposite angles, then "level up" all the way to finding multiple unknown angles in a large diagram involving parallel lines.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Five levels with 6 - 10 questions each

How Far Is It is an 8th grade math lesson that teaching students how to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane using the Pythagorean Theorem. This lesson can be done with direct instruction, or as a partner/team student exploration.

Students work together to develop a strategy for finding the distance of vertical lines, horizontal lines, and diagonal lines. The lesson starts with line segments on a geo board, then moves to the coordinate plane. Students then try to find the distance without the use of a coordinate plane.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete lesson directions with suggestion on how to teach it in your classroom.
• Printable student activity packet (4 pages).
• Student exit ticket.
• 1 Extension activity page.
• Complete worked out solutions.

This lesson will help your students learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the distance between any two point on a coordinate plane.

Note: This lesson does NOT teach students the distance formula, nor does it expect them to know or use it.
