Description

Students will practice finding the missing sides of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem with this "Math Lib" activity. This includes finding the length of a leg, the length of a hypotenuse, as well as application problems.

Their answer to each station will give them a piece of their story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.) This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the "star" of the story. Both color and black and white versions of the activity are included.

EDIT ALL STORY ELEMENTS! All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.

GOOGLE FORM OPTION: This activity includes a link to a Google Forms version of the activity. If you have already purchased this resource, please redownload for the update.

My students always enjoy the slides where I can change the names to teachers in our building. Most enjoy solving the problems around the room to see what math lib they come up with at the end.
