  • Many students are exploring the Pythagorean theorem through area models. Learn how to go beyond this by exploring the relationship among the areas of squares on the side lengths of acute and obtuse triangles. Come to this workshop and play the role of a student as you develop a deeper understanding of how these triangles are related to one another.
