Collaborative motivation meets individual accountability in a highly engaging task involving Pythagorean Word Problems and Applications. Math + colouring + social justice = something you've never seen before! Each student's worksheet is different! Each worksheet represents a small section of the big picture! The end result will look spectacular hanging up in your classroom :) What a great way to celebrate Women's History Month!
**Curriculum Connection**
CCSS.Math.Content.8.G.B.7 (Grade 8 Geometry)
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSG.SRT.C.8
Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.
(The Malala mosaic is also available in Volume and Surface Area version.)
It's simple!
1. Calculate the answers.
2. Colour the squares.
3. Cut out your section.
4. Combine with the class!
Students complete the problems to decode the colour-by-number key, then colour their section of the mosaic.
INCLUDED: (.pdf )
-Class set of 30 worksheets that combine to create the Malala mosaic
-Each sheet contains 12 word problems and applications of the Pythagorean Theorem.
-A Teaching Tips page, for smooth implementation
-An answer-range key for quick student assessment at a glance. (i.e. "Blue always has an answer between 120 and 160")
-A coloured coordinate-labelled image of the mosaic to help you assemble the completed picture.
High school kids like colouring too! Their curiosity and desire to see the big picture come together will keep them working and helping each other!
All my "Colouring by..." math mosaics use the standard colours found in a Crayola 24 pack of coloured pencils. For best results, use the exact colour name match, and stick to one type of colouring medium. Maybe a class set of pencil crayons would be a fun departmental purchase? :)
I'd love to hear from you! Let me know how this went in your classroom! (calfordmath@live.ca)
