To teach the Pythagorean theorem using manipulatives, you can use a variety of materials such as blocks, tiles, or even paper cutouts. Begin by having the students create a right triangle using the manipulatives. Then, have them measure the sides of the triangle and record the measurements. Next, have them calculate the square of each side and add the results together. Finally, have them compare the sum of the squares to the square of the hypotenuse. This will demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem.
