This is the first day of what will likely be a 3 day performance task that takes kids from using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse to discovering the distance formula (day 2 and 3).

Notes:
- After several days of using the Pythagorean Theorem and a very successful quiz covering it, students surprisingly had trouble realizing the need to use the PT to find the distance between the bird and pig at each time increment.
- I could see that this would be a very difficult task and it was for both my classes. In the future, I would not let them choose what graph paper they want to use, and guide them to setting up the correct scale and position of the bird and pig at each time increment.
