QR Challenge: Pythagorean Theorem

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.


B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!


C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.


Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. 1)Find the missing side; a = 12 b = 35 c =? C = 37
2. 2) Is it a right triangle? A = 5, b = 12, and c = 13Yes
3. 3)Solve for the missing side: a = ?, b = 24, and c= 25 a = 7
4. 4) What is the hypotenuse? The longest side of the triangle always across the right angle
5. 5)Do the following measures make a right triangle? a= 4, b=8, c= 9 No
6. 6)What is the Pythagorean theorem? a^2 +b^2 = c^2
7. 7)Sam is at a skateboarding park. The ramp is 3 feet high and 4 feet long. how long is the slope of the ramp? 5 feet
8. 8) Two joggers run 6 miles north and then 5 miles west. What is the shortest distance, to the nearest tenth of a mile, they must travel to return to their starting point? Round to the nearest tenth. 9.8 miles
9. 9.Ron bought a TV that is 42 inches. How do we measure TVs? What does that mean? Ron's TV has a diagonal that is 42in.
10. 10. What is the proof of the Pythagorean theorem? The sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.
