Stupendous 'Murrio' Pythagorean Theorem Scavenger Hunt

I love Mario!  I'm an 80's girl and still remember that TJ was the first kid in the neighborhood to get a Nintendo.  I remember the hours and hushed urging as a neighborhood kid approached the elevators at the end of World 1-2.  A kids gotta focus right?  The first dark level.  The first Super Mario.  Oh the memories.   

Flash forward to 2018 State Standardized Testing Week... also Teacher Appreciation Week (gotta appreciate the irony huh?).  I created an activity for the end of the week which, as most of my activities do, escalated quickly to this scavenger hunt!

Read my first Mario/Murrio themed finds and activity here.  Thank you again to Mr. Lutwyche for the hours of fun and engagement by my students and colleagues.  This Mario/Murrio has made the end of the year something exciting.

I took an old scavenger hunt over Pythagorean Therem Real World Problems and changed them to a Murrio and Lequigi Real World!  Who wouldn't rather see a Flying 'Kooga' instead of a bird and protect 'Powser's' Castle as oppose to a backyard?

Here is the Stupendous Murrio Pythagorean Theorem Scavenger Hunt complete with Student WS!  

Materials: 

•    One set of scavenger sheets to post around the room (A – J)

•    One answer document for each student

And for the teacher.... 😉😆😀😄

Teacher Notes: 

Place each of the scavenger hunt  sheets (A – J) on the walls around the room.  Each student should be given one answer document and assigned (or choose) a place to begin in the hunt.  Have students start at their poster, solve the problem and search the other posters to find their answer, which is boxed on the bottom.  Once they find their answer, then that poster is the next question they solve.  This solution will  then send them on another hunt for a new answer, and so on.

By the end of the class period, students should have solved each of the Pythagorean Theorem problems and filled in their answer sheet.

PLEASE NOTE:  Some of the problems are not looking for the missing length of the triangle; but an application of that missing value in order to solve a different problem!!

If you can print in color, do so!

For any keys, please feel free to email me at camfan54@att.net from your school or professional account.  I've had students try and email for keys in the past but luckily their email said student! 

Enjoy!
