Pythagorean Liquid Box Model built out of glass or plastic so that the squares on the sides and hypotenuse can hold a colored liquid. The liquid is then allowed to flow into the large square on the hypotenuse and demonstrates that the two squares exactly fill the lower square.
Pythagoras' Tree The construction of the Pythagoras tree begins with a square. Upon this square are constructed two squares, each scaled down by a linear factor of ½ 2, such that the corners of the squares coincide pairwise. The same procedure is then applied recursively to the two smaller squares, ad infinitum.
