8.G.B.6
Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
Comments:
8.G.B.6 is an embedded standard. This classification refers to problem-solving tasks where the underlying math concept in a Common Core standard is "embedded" within the problem, but the standard is not directly aligned to the problem. A student may use the underlying math concept in this standard to solve the task, but cannot be required to use that math concept due to the open-ended nature of problem solving. These tasks should not be given as an assessment, but rather used with students to practice this particular math concept/skill.
Instructional Tasks/Formative Assessments
Students use diagrams to determine proof for the Pythagorean Theorem.
