Looking+for+Pythagoras

A space for you to put //Looking for Pythagoras// lesson plans, worksheets, and ideas to help students really get it.


 * A helpful idea for visual learners:** If you have //[|Geometer's Sketchpad]// I have a right triangle with squares on each side that you can move around and watch the squares grow and shrink. This file also gives the side lengths, the area of the squares, the sum of the areas of the squares, and the square root of the sum. This allows students to see how the areas and the square root of the areas are related regardless of the size of the right triangle. [[file:pythagorean theorem demonstration.gsp]]
