|Activity: Visual Demonstration of the Pythagorean Theorem|
|Go to:||http://www.keypress.com/.../VisualPythagorean.zip (opens a new window)|
Students do a visual demonstration of the Pythagorean theorem based on Euclid’s proof. By shearing the squares on the sides of a right triangle, they create congruent shapes without changing the areas of their original squares. The link to the activity itself is to a zip file that contains both the activity in pdf format and the corresponding sketch.
This is a free sample activity from Exploring Geometry with the Geometer's Sketchpad.
