Abstract:
The Pythagorean theorem is one of the most familiar mathematical formulations, quoted in movies, television, and cartoons. Yet, as familiar as it may be to many people, it is often not completely understood. In the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989, 113–14), Standard 12: Geometry for grades 5–8 states, “One of the most important properties in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem, is introduced in the middle grades. Students can a Fig 1 Pythagorean theorem discover this relationship through explorations …” (see fig. 1 ).
