Isosceles Triangles Make a Square – Video Project for the Geometry Class

by Bill Lombard on 16 May, 2009

Isosceles Triangles can make a square, as we all know, but here’s a way to do it with seven different size triangles. Measurement, the Pythagorean Theorem, and color make this a nice project for any class, and particularly for a geometry class. The video gives complete directions for the classroom. Pause it at any time to give your students time to finish each stage and to give yourself time to ask clarifying questions.
