Pythagorean Theorem Distance Between Two Points Create the Riddle Activity

The students enjoyed this activity and they were very engaged.

My students love these riddle-based activities. The riddle provides a self-checking element, without making the answers obvious.

There are two words with the same answer, so that confused some of my students. Other than that, this is a good resource. I liked the different take on solving the riddle worksheets.

My student loved this resource. They enjoyed the riddle

My students struggled a bit, but once they got the hang of it it was great. I loved the 1 by 1 triangle because they all thought it was 1, it was fun showing them that it wasn't true. My only drawback is that when you scan the qr code with an iphone photo app, which is how most kids scan qr codes these days, it takes them to a gun holster webpage. If you scan it with an actual qr code app it will show the actual text. I've had lots of issues with this in the past so I don't use them anymore because of that.

Good :)

Awesome

I don't know if I'll be able to use this resource in the future. There were a few issues I had with it. The first was that the riddle was extremely difficult to answer. Since a few questions had the same value, there were two words for the answer and students had to figure out which one worked. This made it difficult for students. The biggest issue I have is that the riddle's answer you find by using a QR code. If you use that QR code to take it to the Google search of the answer, the search results are completely inappropriate for school. I actually collected the worksheet before the hour ended because I didn't want parents to see it at home. On a positive note, it was organized well and the questions were perfect problems for students.
