Measurement & Geometry

Pythagoras Proof Playground

Drag a right triangle to resize it. Watch squares on each side update. Pour the two smaller squares into the largest — it fills exactly.

Why this tool helps: Students memorise a²+b²=c² without understanding why it is true. The water-pour animation makes it visceral.

Year levels: Year 8, Year 9, Year 10 Curriculum: Australian Curriculum aligned
