This Project is an opportunity to be creative and use the mathematical ideas learned from the unit covering the Pythagorean Theorem.
8.1 & 8.2
MA.8.8.G.6 - [Standard] - Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
MA.8.8.G.7 - [Standard] - Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
MA.8.8.G.8 - [Standard] - Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system.
Project
“The Wheel of Theodorus begins with a triangle with legs one unit long and winds
around counterclockwise. Each triangle is drawn using the hypotenuse of the
previous triangle as one leg and a segment one unit long as the other leg. To make
The Wheel of Theodorus, you only need to know how to draw right angles and
segments one unit long”.
