Welcome Back

Let's get ready to work so we can make up all the snow days we missed and get ready for TAKS.

Today we are starting the Pythagorean Theorem. It is a handy-dandy formula we use to find the missing side lengths on right triangles. I think you might be familiar with it, so hopefully these videos will help you remember. Watch the following videos and take your own notes. Make sure to write down examples so you can refer to them later. There are short commercials before each video, sorry about this. After you watch the videos please get the worksheet from the substitute and complete. We will grade this on Tuesday, so whatever you don't finish is homework.

After the videos get the worksheet from the substitute and complete it for class on Tuesday. As you answer the questions you should be drawing to complete a face.
