Pythagorean Quilt


The world of mathematics beckons a challenge to all of us to discover its hidden wonders. This mathematical quilt is composed of four right triangles, each of which is surrounded be three squares, and which exhibits Pythagoras’ famous theorem: a2 + b2 = c2. Other mathematical treasures displayed within this quilt include: geometric shapes, algebraic symbolism, famous constants, prime numbers, and various mathematical concepts.

Such mathematical challenges are part of all our mathematics courses offered at Chi Hi but are particularly emphasized for our Math Investigations courses.
