The student uses geometry to model and describe the physical world. The student is expected to:8.7B use geometric concepts and properties to solve problems in fields such as art and architecture. 8.7C use pictures and models to demonstrate the Pythagorean Theorem. 8.9 Measurement. The student uses indirect measurement to solve problems. The student is expected to:8.9A use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-life problemsBig ideas Addressed in Content Standards. The student will understand:Use geometry to model and describe the physical worldUse indirect measurement to solve problemsStudent expectations addressed in content standards. The student is expected to: Use geometric concepts and properties to solve problems in architecture. Use pictures and models to demonstrate the Pythagorean Theorem. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-life problems What key knowledge will students acquire as a result of this project?Understanding of Pythagorean Theorem proofs.The formula for Pythagorean Theorem.The concept of Pythagorean Triples.What key skills will students acquire as a result of this project?Model Pythagorean TheoremSolve real-world problems using indirect measurement How will students demonstrate they have acquired this knowledge?Model Pythagorean TheoremSolve problems using indirect measurementHow will students demonstrate they have acquired these skills?Model Pythagorean TheoremSolve problems using indirect measurement Guiding questions to frame the inquiry and lead students to understanding:What led to the development of Pythagorean Theorem and how can it be used to solve real-world problems today?How can the Pythagorean Theorem be represented through models and pictures?Specific PBL ConsiderationsProject Idea: Summary of the issue, problem, or challengeREI is offering a Wilderness Survival class and wants to provide instruction for building a survival shelter that has right angles but is built without access to measurement tools such as protractors and ruler. Students will create a Guide for Building a Survival Shelter that is based on Pythagorean Theorem. Optionally, the shelter construction can be validated with a 3-D scale model.
