Standard Goal: Geometry

8-4.1 Apply the Pythagorean theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem	Lesson: Students learn how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.
Pythagorean Explorer	Activity: Calculate the length of one side of an automatically generated right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem, and then check your answers. Pythagorean Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.

8-4.2 Use ordered pairs, equations, intercepts, and intersections to locate points and lines in a coordinate plane.

Cartesian Coordinate System	Lesson: Introduces students to plotting points on the Cartesian coordinate system -- an alternative to "Graphing and the Coordinate Plane."
Graphing and the Coordinate Plane	Lesson: Students learn basic ideas about graphing points on the coordinate plane.
Graphs and Functions	Lesson: Demonstrates the connections between formulas and graphs.
Impossible Graphs	Lesson: Teaches distinguishing between possible and impossible graphs of functions as well as causes of graphical impossibility.
Reading Graphs	Lesson: Demonstrates the connections between formulas, graphs and words.
General Coordinates Game	Activity: Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of a randomly generated point, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. General Coordinates Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Maze Game	Activity: Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system by directing a robot through a mine field laid out on the plane. Maze Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Simple Plot	Activity: Plot ordered pairs of numbers, either as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. Points are connected from right to left, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
