Assignment 1B: Extended 5-Day Learning Map Template

Summary of Unit:
The unit focuses on understanding the Pythagorean theorem, determining the missing length of one side of a right triangle when the
lengths of the other two sides are known, and deciding whether or not a triangle with three given side lengths is a right triangle.

What topics will be covered?

Topic 6, Topic 7, Topic 8

What should students know before this unit?

This unit builds on prior knowledge of the properties of right triangles, and on
computing the squares and square roots of rational numbers.
What should students know or be able to do by the end?
● The Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine if a triangle is a right triangle and to find the missing side length of a
triangle.
● If a triangle has a length such that a 2 + b 2 = c2 , the triangle is a right triangle.
● Many real-world problem situations can be represented with a mathematical model.
● The Pythagorean theorem and its converse can be used to solve real-world problems that involve right triangles.
● The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the distance between any two points on a coordinate plane by drawing a line to
connect the points as the hypotenuse of the right triangle where the leg are the horizontal and vertical distances.
