The Task

Part of this project you will do with a partner, however everyone will be required to write their own essay on the life of Pythagoras. You and your partner need to investigate information about the Pythagorean Theorem and its proofs. (Yes, I said proofs. There are several proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem written by many different people.) Using the information you have gathered, you will present information on one proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, pose and investigate your own questions about other potential relationships (remember it is ok to find out that your conjecture may be false) and attempt to develop your own proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
