A MATHEMATICAL DREAM: SQUARE ROOTS BY THE DOTS
SQUARE ROOTS AND PYTHAGORAS THEOREM BY – THE – DOTS
4TH-9TH GRADES
BONUS: Decoding Prehistoric Architecture
A Pythagorean Numberline results from a series of rectangles generated from a simple square. These are known as the Root Rectangles. The square roots of all whole numbers can be spatially generated from the simple square and built-in arcs.
The square is central to these exercises. The square is a shape that contains and generates square roots that are perfect for introducing practical examples of the Pythagorean Theorem. This is a hands-on connect-the-dot method.
