Assess students' ability to identify right triangles in contextual scenarios and apply the Pythagorean theorem to solve for missing legs or hypotenuses in real-world problems (e.g., ladders against walls, distances across fields, navigation). Tasks will require setting up equations, performing calculations with whole numbers and simple decimals, converting units when necessary, and explaining steps and units in answers. Include short word problems and simple diagrams; expect moderate multi-step reasoning appropriate for grades 6–8.
