Cut apart squares to show the relationship between the length of the sides of the squares and the triangle that is formed. Emphasize that the hypotenuse is always the longest side and its relationship to the placement of the right angle. Emphasize that Pythagorean Theorem is only true of right triangles. Use letters other than a, b, and c. Identify models of examples and of the Pythagorean Theorem. Make conjectures from patterns or sets of examples and non-examples.
