{FREE} Pythagorean Theorem Word Problems Task Cards

August 27, 2018 Leave a Comment

Are your kids ready for some Pythagorean theorem word problems? This FREE set of task cards can be used as a whole class activity, in small groups or individually to help kids see and use the Pythagoren theorem in real life.
