Pythagoras' Theorem: Lessons & Applications

This document outlines a series of 13 lessons exploring triangles, Pythagoras' theorem, and its applications. The lessons introduce rational and irrational numbers, investigate Pythagoras' theorem and its use to solve right triangle problems, have students derive the theorem themselves, and apply it to practical problems involving length, perimeter, area, volume, and architectural/structural issues. Later lessons generalize the theorem to 3D space and include enrichment tasks.
