Description
This is a Pythagorean theorem activity that asks students to look at maps and find the distances from local businesses on the map. There are different types of questions, some of which ask for a missing leg and some that ask for the hypotenuse. Students will need to have the background of the Pythagorean theorem vocabulary. This could be done as a group assignment or even individually. Includes an answer key!

Really great resource! Students were engaged and they enjoyed themselves!
Some students enjoyed it. The others choose a different assignment.
I likes the resource. There was a little issue understanding the placement of a few points and triangles. But those were minor and were figured out quickly. Once they were it was an effective assignment for my classroom.
Great product and resource!
My students love this activity!
I thought this was a very creative assignment for practicing the Pythagorean Theorem. The only issue I had was that it was a bit difficult to figure out which profession some of the figures represented. Having them labeled would have been helpful for me and the students.
My students liked seeing Pythagorean theorem through a map and then being able to put it into real life perspective!
good
