This stand-alone module examines the history, applications, and various proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. The module also includes student activities and exercise problems. The module assumes the reader has a basic geometry background.

This original resource was a great activity using technology. I would use this as well as have students use the interactive map to find distance between towns/cities they may be more familiar with.
