=Pythagorus - The Man and the Theory= =In this unit we answer the following questions:=
 * 1) ==What is the Pythagorean Theorem?==
 * 2) ==Who was Pythagorus? Where and when did he live?==
 * 3) ==What did Pythagorus study, besides triangles?==

=Activities=
 * ==Days 1 & 2 - We will focus on the Basic Information page, learning the mechanics of solving the unknown side of a right triangle. We will also view 2 videos (each one less than 1 minute long) that illustrate the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem.==
 * ==Day 3 - We will form groups, review the information presented on the Research page, and begin working on our projects. Each group should begin working on the "History of Pythagorus" worksheet. You will have a couple days to decide on your presentation topic. Most of the work on your project will be performed outside class.==
 * ==You will have a week to create your presentation video, using iMovie, Moviemaker, Jing, or another application of your choosing.==
 * ==Post your presentation video on the Presentation Page.==
 * ==Each group will present and explain their video to the class.==

=Grading=
 * ==The Rubric Page contains the standards I will be using to grade the work in this unit.==
 * ==Work found on the Basic Information page will be graded individually.==
 * ==All members of each group will receive the same grade for their "Life of Pythagorus" worksheet, and the same grade for their presentation video.==

=Standards=
 * ===CA Geometry 14.0 - Students will prove the Pythagorean Theorem.===
 * ===CA Geometry 15.0 - Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine distance and find missing lengths of sides of right triangles.===
