Students know the Pythagorean Theorem and deepen their
understanding of plane and solid geometric shapes by
constructing figures that meet given conditions and by
identifying attributes of figures.

1.) Students will describe the steps necessary to find the diagonal of any rectangle. They will answer if this procedure could be used to find the hypotenuse of any right triangle. 
2.) Students will identify nets (two dimensional figure) that will fold up into a variety of given regular geometrical solids. (Cube, Tetrahedron, and Cylinder nets will be given.) 
3.) Students will find the coordinates of the vertices of two similar geometric shapes drawn on a coordinate plane. 
1.) Students will find the length of the diagonal of a 6 x 8 rectangle. 
2.) Students will draw the net of a rectangular prism that has a height twice its width, and its length is three times its height. 
3.) Students will name the coordinates of the four vertices that meet the following conditions: A square has one of its vertices in each of the four quadrants. Students will draw this square, label the vertices, and give its coordinate points. 
4.) Students will move the vertices that are above the x-axis up two units and to the left three units, then they will draw this figure with a red pencil and describe the figure.
