Finding the Hypotenuse
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side that is opposite of its right angle. Sometimes we have problems that ask us to find the missing hypotenuse of a right triangle.

"Scholar at the Table" was painted by Emile Charles Wauters (1846-1933)
"Woodland Scene" was by Narcisse Diaz de la Pena (1807 - 1876 )

Berenstain Bears-The Messy Room-Part 2
In part 2 of this video, Sister and Brother bicker instead of working together. Their "creative" solution is to shove everything in their closet. Mama finds the hidden toys and she gets a box labeled trash. Papa comes to the rescue. This is a good companion teaching resource for reading Berenstain books in the classroom. It helps to bring literary characters to life (5:24).

He was Irish but achieved his great successes in England. Argu
