Math can be tricky to understand and even trickier to teach at times. This is why hands on methods are so important to try, even in the upper grades!

I love these different activities for learning the pythagorean theorem. I wish I had these when I was in school!

There are 4 really neat ways to teach it, with hands on activities and a video. Check them all out HERE.
