A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! The squares below fit into groups of three to satisfy the following equation:
area of square 1 + area of square 2 = area of square 3
Write one of these equations.
A Pythagorean triple is a set of nonzero whole numbers a, b, and c that satisfy the equation below.
Some common Pythagorean triples include:
3, 4, 5
5, 12, 13
8, 15, 17
7, 24, 25
