Junior Pythagoras Theorem
Product Code : JA-T-3682
The Junior Pythagoras Theorem kit (SKU JA-T-3682) verifies that in a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It has one plastic right-angle triangle with 3 in and 4 in sides and a set of three squares matching the three sides, each printed with a one-inch grid. Pupils count the grid squares to check the result, and JaincoLab manufactures this junior Pythagoras theorem kit for middle-school maths.
Specifications
The kit consists of one plastic right-angle triangle measuring 3 in x 4 in on its shorter sides and three squares equal in side to the sides of the triangle, each printed with a grid of one-inch squares for counting area.
| Product | Junior Pythagoras Theorem |
| SKU | JA-T-3682 |
| Triangle | Plastic right-angle triangle, 3 in x 4 in |

| Theorem shown | Square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides |
Applications of the junior Pythagoras theorem kit
Pupils place the three squares against the sides of the triangle, count the one-inch grid squares on each, and see that the two smaller squares together contain as many grid squares as the square on the hypotenuse.
- Verifying Pythagoras theorem by counting grid squares
- Finding the area of the square on each side
- Identifying the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle

Frequently asked questions
What size is the triangle?
The plastic right-angle triangle measures 3 in x 4 in.
What is printed on the squares?
Each of the three squares carries a grid of one-inch squares for counting area.
Is there a larger demonstration version?
Yes. The Senior Pythagoras Theorem is an acrylic magnetic set, 16 in x 16 in overall, for board demonstration.
