Today we continued working with the Pythagorean Theorem. I drew on white board three triangles, one of side length 5, one with 4, one with 3. I showed how the area of the sides 3 and 4 would create the area of the side length 5 (3^2+4^2=5^2). Next, we practiced finding 1 side of the triangle, given the other two sides by applying the theorem. When Andrew found values that weren't whole numbers, he used his calculator to simplify. We will practice how to simplify them if the calculator is not available for use.
