Click here for the GTEN workshop video that develops concepts leading to Pythagoras Theorem. It starts with playing a simple game and then making shapes by folding paper and with elastic bands on geoboards. Then jigsaw puzzles enable learners to discover Pythagoras Theorem for themselves and later provide the basis for a rigorous proof of the theorem.
