Pythagorean Theorem, Angles and Volume Guided Notes Unit Bundle | 8th Grade CCSS
$15.99 · Extensions sold separately
Overview
Ever wondered how to teach the Pythagorean Theorem, angles, and volume in an engaging way to your 8th-grade students?
In this unit plan, students will first learn about the Pythagorean Theorem. Later on, they will build on this to learn about finding the distance between two points using the distance formula in a coordinate system. Lastly, they will learn about solving problems involving the volumes of cylinders, cones, and spheres.
Each lesson helps students master the unit through artistic, interactive guided notes, check for understanding, and culminates with a real-life example that explores how these mathematical concepts are applied in real-world situations.
It's an exciting way to teach the Pythagorean Theorem, angles, and volume while comprehensively meeting standards.
