Students will practice working with the Pythagorean Theorem with this Scavenger Hunt activity. This includes:
- Find a missing leg or hypotenuse of a right triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. Both basic and complex problems that require more than one step included.
- Use the Pythagorean Theorem Converse to determine if a triangle is acute, right, or obtuse.
- Solve word problems using the Pythagorean Theorem.
This scavenger hunt includes 20 problems and a student recording worksheet. Hang the problems around the room (or in the hallway) and distribute the recording worksheet to each student. Clipboards work very well for this type of activity! Place your students in groups of 2-3 and assign each group a place to start. They solve the problem at the station, then use their answer to lead them to the next problem. They should finish the Scavenger Hunt at the same problem they started with.
