This lesson used similar triangles to prove the pythagorean theorem. It was a fairly in depth lesson and will require some careful studying to get complete comprehension.

This lesson was math by brute force. We used estimation and multiplication to narrow our approximation of irrational numbers to the nearest hundredth.
In this lesson we converted repeating decimals to fractions by setting up equations and simplifying. It was a sophisticated lesson, and I think students were challenged by it.
This video lesson introduced students to the formal concept and definition of rational and irrational numbers.
We began to use what we know about square roots and radicals to solve basic equations involving square roots, squares, and cubes.
On this day, we learned how to simplify square roots by extracting perfect square factors from a square root.
This lesson builds on our understanding of square roots and introduces the concept of cube roots.
During this lesson, we learned rudimentary ways to estimate the value of an imperfect square root. We began approximating irrational numbers as closer to a particular whole number, but will refine this in future lessons.
This lesson had us revisit the Pythagorean Theorem, but this time we explored situations where a, b, and c might not ALL be whole numbers. We looked at what happens if one of our side lengths is an irrational number.
This is our study guide to support our understanding of statistics and linear functions--specifically scatter plots and lines of best fit, and two way analysis of categorical data. Answer Key below.
