VII.

Teacher Reflectiondone AFTER teaching the lesson to help you gain insight into your practice and help

How tall is the flagpole?


1. Mark the very end of the flagpoles shadow with the chalk.
2. Take turns standing on the flagpoles shadow so that your own shadow touches the
very end of the flagpoles shadow mark.
3. Mark that spot you are standing on with the sidewalk chalk.
4. Have your partner measure the length of your shadow (while you still stand on your
spot of the shadow).
5. Switch.
6. Then take turns measuring each others exact height.
7. Together, measure the distance from the flagpoles base to the very end of the
flagpoles shadow.
8. (An example is pictured below)
9. Draw your own picture and label with your own measurements.
10. What is the height of your schools flagpole?

Height of flagpole: x

TED 5060 Unit Plan

Amanda Anderson

Sample Answer Key:


George wants to measure the height of a flagpole. He is 6 feet tall and his shadow is 10 feet long. At the
same time, the shadow of the flagpole was 85 feet long. How tall is the flagpole?
It is safe to assume that George and the flagpole stand vertically, making right angles with the ground. Also,
the angle where the suns rays hit the ground is the same for both. The two triangles are similar. Set up a
proportion.
10=6
85 x

10x=510

x=51ft

The height of the flagpole is 51 feet.

**You can use this same method to solve the height of your schools flagpole**

Bhaskaras Worksheet:
Directions: Cut out the following shapes

TED 5060 Unit Plan

Amanda Anderson

Bhaskara's First Proof


Bhaskara's proof is also a dissection proof. It is similar to the proof
provided by Pythagoras. Bhaskara was born in India. He was one of the
most important Hindu mathematicians of the second century AD. He used
the following diagrams in proving the Pythagorean Theorem.

In the above diagrams, the blue triangles are all congruent and the yellow
squares are congruent. First we need to find the area of the big square two
different ways. First let's find the area using the area formula for a square.
Thus, A=c^2. Now, lets find the area by finding the area of each of the
components and then sum the areas. Area of the blue triangles =
4(1/2)ab Area of the yellow square = (b-a)^2 Area of the big square =
4(1/2)ab + (b-a)^2 = 2ab + b^2 - 2ab + a^2 = b^2 + a^2 Since, the
square has the same area no matter how you find it A = c^2 = a^2 +
b^2, concluding the proof.

How you will give feedbackis it written, is it verbal?


This will be based on the type of assessment. While walking around and during
