Get into groups of 3-4 and create a presentation on the Pythagorean Theorem. Research and present a brief history of the theorem, an explanation of the theorem, and real-life scenarios where knowing the Pythagorean Theorem could be useful.

Choose five problems regarding the Pythagorean Theorem and work independently to solve your selected problems. Document each step in a digital note on Google Keep, and then reflect in your note on any challenges you faced, how you did, and anything else you experienced.

Naturalist Intelligence

Take a nature walk in a safe location. Take photos of at least three natural formations that resemble right-angled triangles. Measure the length of each side of the triangle. Then, go to GeoGebra, enter your information, and use the Pythagorean Theorem to confirm the lengths of the hypotenuse. Compare your calculations to the measurements found in nature.

Split into groups of three. Measure the lengths of your arms and record them in a Google Keep note. Talk to other groups and see if you can make a trade to create a right-angled triangle with your arms (or as close as possible). Use the Pythagorean Theorem and GeoGebra to check your triangles.

Musical Intelligence

Get into groups of 3-4. Choose a Pythagorean Triple (i.e. (3,4,5)). Use Garage Band to create music inspired by your Pythagorean Triple (i.e. Tempo (beats per minute), Key signature (e.g., C major), Time signature (e.g., 4/4), etc.).

Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence

Get into groups and make a podcast on the Pythagorean Theorem, using any online platform. Discuss the history, purpose, and relevance in today's society, as well as anything else that you want to discuss. Make it 5-10 mintues and ensure everyone gets a moment to talk
