Exploring Square Roots and the Pythagorean Theorem

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

For learners of algebra, this presentation could be of good use. They are coached on the basics of how to calculate square roots and perfect squares, and they are shown the intriciacies of the Pythagorean Theorem. There are many practice problems embedded throughout the PowerPoint, and a final slide that serves as a "quiz" of sorts. Very good.
