With Valentines Day launching our week of love for mathematics, we incorporated a Common Formative Assessment and finished (for now) our journey into systems of equations. Mr Ruesch brought back the Pythagorean Theorem, having us explore the square of the legs as an area to add together to form the area of the square of the hypotenuse. We applied this learning to a task from Illustrative Mathematics regarding a football player running toward another player in a 2007 game involving the Patriots. We will continue our exploration of this task next week.
