This is a group "lab" experience for students. The teacher works as a facilitator during the lesson. The questions on the page guide students to derive the Pythagorean Theorem... or at least connect the concepts behind the areas of the two smaller squares adding up to the area of the larger square.
I have used this in my 8th grade classroom as an "explore" activity during a 5E model lesson. It usually serves as the introduction to the unit a

Triangle side lengths inequality hands on spaghetti lab sheet
This product contains a lab sheet for students to complete to discover the triangle side lengths inequality. Students should use spaghetti to create triangles and non triangles, then fill out the conclusion statements at the bottom to determine the triangle side lengths inequality. Product links include and editable google doc and a pdf. The second page of both contains the fill in the blank answer key for the conclusions on the bottom.

Centimeter Cube Pythagorean Theorem Investigation
This can be used as an introductory activity for the Pythagorean Theorem. Students use centimeter cubes to form the sides of triangles and then expand those sides to form squares. The goal is for students to develop the rule that the square of the two short sides equals the square of the long side of right triangles.

Pythagorean Theorem Investigation
A visual proof of the Pythagorean Theorem as a PPT presentation. On the last slide, there is a .doc file embedded for use as a geometric investigation of the Pythagorean Theorem, having students arrive at the geometric idea of "The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the legs" before the general algebraic "a^2 + b^2 = c^2"

Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
This is a hands on geometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Students arrange four congruent right triangles two different ways on a large square to show that the sum of the areas of the squares formed by the legs equals the area of the square formed by the hypotenuse. The only required materials besides the handout are scissors for each student or team. Rulers are not required because the template already includes unit markings.
