Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Proof Of Pythagorean Theorem. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The Pythagorean Theorem applied to all right triangles and states the square of the hypotenuse (longest side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the square of the two other sides, or a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The converse of the Pythagorean theorem is used to determine if a triangle is a right triangle. It uses the relationship between the lengths of the legs and hypotenuse to prove a right angle.
Use a dissection model to show the proof of the Pythagorean theorem.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is the Pythagorean theorem? What does it mean for a number to be squared? How can you identify the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
After the Game
Where could we use right triangles and the Pythagorean theorem in our modern world? How can you find the missing side of a leg in a right triangle? In this game, you used two small squares to learn about the theorem - how do the sides of two small squares help you solve the problem?
