This class will demonstrate how to determine the lengths of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle. We will explore and explain the proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem the first part of the lesson. The second part of the lesson we will use the Pythagorean Theorem in real-world and mathematical problems. We will also use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if the lengths of a triangle form a right triangle. I teach with slide presentations where I show and explain examples, work through problems with the students, and then I provide practice problems for them to work on their own. I have included worksheets to follow along with the lesson and practice. I strongly encourage interaction between students and myself because communication and understanding of the vocabulary is so important.
Learning Goals
The students will be able to determine the length of an unknown side of a right triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem and determine if the triangle is a right triangle using the converse.Other Details
Supply List
Worksheets will be provided to follow along with the lesson. The Activity worksheet will require SCISSORS to cut apart the squares and triangles that we will match up. A pencil and calculator would also be useful.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I'm Mrs. Essmeier, and I love teaching Mathematics. There are so many wonderful patterns to discover with numbers. Understanding why you use certain equations and how these concepts work is an important part of mathematics. My objective is to help my students to understand the connection between the math they learn and the real world in which they live. Mathematics is something you will use every day in one way or another. The more you know and understand, the more you will use.
I provide one on one tutoring for one, two, or three days for one week or ongoing. My tutoring includes the topics found in the curricula for most 6th through 10th grades - number sense, equations, functions, graphing, geometry, fractions, decimals, and more.
I teach Monday - Friday. Please contact me to request times (include time zone) and days available.
I retired from teaching school after 39 years, but I'm not tired of teaching. I've been on Outschool since the fall of 2020. My various degrees include a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education, a Masters degree in Mathematics Education, a Math Specialist enhanced level 2, and an ESL endorsement. My teaching experiences include grades 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th for 30 years. I then moved to the middle school and taught 7th and 8th grade for nine years.
I do hope to help many more learners understand and appreciation the beauty and need for mathematics.Reviews
