Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: squares and square roots (8.EE.A.2); area of squares and triangles; exponents; plotting points on the coordinate plane.
Warm-up idea: Ask how long a ladder must be to reach a window 12 feet up if its base stands 5 feet from the wall. Let students guess, then check with a scale drawing (it's 13 feet).
Exit ticket idea: Students find the missing leg of a right triangle with hypotenuse 10 and one leg 6, and decide whether a triangle with sides 7, 8 and 11 is a right triangle.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
