Theorem of Pythagoras
The Montessori Theorem of Pythagoras material demonstrates one of the most important principles of mathematics: the Pythagorean Theorem. Through hands-on exploration, children discover how the area of the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.
The set includes three green metal plates with bottoms and colored inset pieces (blue, red, yellow, and white), showing three different cases of the theorem. By arranging and fitting the insets, learners move from visual understanding to abstract reasoning in geometry.
