In order to place a real feel on this, students took iPads outside to discover triangles in their world. Students found real triangles which they applied the Pythagorean Theorem to find a third side. We also used estimated measuring tools (hands and shoes) to find the lengths of the legs.
After we found the measurements, students used the Skitch App and paper/pencil to calculate the hypotenuse.
