Pythagorean Theorem Coloring Activity | Hypotenuse and Missing Side Lengths
Give students focused practice using the Pythagorean Theorem with this Pythagorean Theorem Coloring Activity. Students solve problems that include finding the hypotenuse and finding missing side lengths in right triangles.
This Halloween-themed color-by-number activity gives students practice deciding how to set up the Pythagorean Theorem based on the missing side. Students will determine whether they need to solve for the hypotenuse or a leg, then use their answer to complete the coloring page.
Use this activity for independent practice, review, math centers, homework, or sub plans. The coloring component adds a seasonal option while keeping the focus on right triangle problem solving.
What’s Included:
• 15 Pythagorean Theorem problems
• Practice finding the hypotenuse
• Practice finding missing side lengths
• Halloween-themed coloring page
• Blank coloring answer key
• Completed teacher answer key
• Print-ready student pages
