Pythagoras' theorem
This Koumio® board answers the question: how do we work out the length of a side of a right-angled triangle?
The puzzle that makes children never forget Pythagoras' theorem.
A wooden object that makes the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle graspable through direct handling.

Operation
How it works
What happens at the Koumio® board
Children assemble and shift the pieces until they see that the squares on the two shorter sides add up exactly to the square on the longest one.
a² + b² = c²
The relationship stops being an abstract formula and becomes something they have understood through their own hands.
What children take away
Genuine understanding of the principle
Better spatial imagination
Geometry connected to practice
The experience that maths can be discovered by playing
