Review what an Internet Project is and what skills/materials are needed for different types of projects
Make the math connection with four interactive online learning adventures for middle school classrooms. Students will enjoy these brain-boosting explorations that use digital media in innovative and creative ways. Virtual environments, simulations, videos and interactive math activities challenge and motivate students to actively engage in learning.
Collaborative Mathematics and the Video Challenge Project aim to use video as a means of connecting a worldwide community of mathematical problem solvers.
a clearinghouse designed to facilitate student and class participation in Internet projects, including collaborative projects, data-collecting experiments, peer tutoring, and keypal exchanges designed to enhance the mathematics in your math, science and interdisciplinary curricula.Contributions will be math-oriented, but any teacher or class studying a subject with a strong math component may submit a project to the database.
The Pythagorean Theorem states that the area of the two sides forming the right triangles is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse. Commonly we see Pythagorean theory shown as a2 + b2 = c2. Many of the proofs for the theorem are beautiful geometric designs, such as Bhaskara's proof.
Week One Day 1 - Intro to Triangles Day 2 - Intro to Right Triangles Popsicle Stick Activity Teams of 4 students are given 30 popsicle sticks Have students use 12 popsicle sticks to create a right triangle with no overlapping sticks A 3, 4, 5 triangles should be the
Pythagoras is very well known, considering he published no writing during his lifetime. What we know of Pythagoras has come from other philosophers and historians. Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician who is best known for introducing the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the...
Throughout this activity you will discover how professional careers use the Pythagorean Theorem. You will finally be able to put your knowledge to the test! Your main goal is to build a structure that surprises your classmates. Here are your instructions and guidelines: 1. Split into groups of four.
