This lesson introduces the Pythagorean Theorem, focusing on its application in identifying right triangles and calculating the lengths of their sides using the formula a² + b² = c². Students will learn key vocabulary such as 'right triangle', 'legs', and 'hypotenuse' to better understand the geometric relationships in these figures. Through visual aids, guided practice problems, and interactive activities like a Triangle Hunt Game, students will strengthen their ability to apply the theorem in various scenarios while recognizing common mistakes to avoid. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket challenge requiring independent application of the learned concepts to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
