For Andrea

1. Objective: to show how pythagorean theorem and special right triangles can be used in real life scenarios 2. Video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDENBW4KJCs 3. Why did you make the video the way you did? I really wanted the students to see how the pythagorean theorem and special right triangles could be use to solve a true dilemna I faced. If I had more time, I would have redone almost the whole thing to be more of teaching, rather than just explaining how I determined if the table would fit. 4. What are some other ways you could have presented the material using video?

Peer Reactions:

will: cool practical application. using real pictures taken with your ipad would really make this come to life even more. adding the twist of considering the width of the table was fun as well. in practice, though, this lesson would definitely be better if left as an exploration for the kids, but for this tli assignment, it was great!

I love it! great images, and a truly realistic application of the Pyth. Thm. very clever!! Dick
