4.2.8 E. Measuring Geometric Objects
1. Develop and apply strategies for finding perimeter and area.
By completing this lesson, students will be able to devise methods for finding areas, formulate and test generalizations, learn about and apply the Pythagorean Theorem, and use mathematical reasoning to solve a real-world problem.
Lastly, this lesson plan helps make the Pythagorean Theorem more "real" for the students. By completing this lesson, students will see that a squared, b squared, and c squared actually represent the areas of squares. Thus, after completing this lesson, students will be able to picture in their minds what the numbers in the Pythagorean Theorem actually mean.
