Week of April 27th

Well, the good thing about this week, STAAR is over for the 7th graders.  So now it is time to have some fun with math.  This week will begin a unit on right triangles.  We will start with the Pythagorean Theorem, then move on to special right triangles, and then to trig ratios.  It is going to be fun.  Most of the lessons will take two days, one day for the lesson and one day for the assignment.

If you would like to read up on a few of the topics here are some links.

- Pythagorean Theorem

- Special Right Triangles

- Trig Ratios


Bonus Question of the Week:

A baseball diamond is a square with sides of 90 feet. What is the shortest distance, to the nearest tenth of a foot, between first base and third base?
