Here is an National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) site link for information on the Pythagorean theorem: http://standards.nctm.org/document/eexamples/chap6/6.5/index.htm Scroll down a bit and investigate the interactive Pythagorean picture proof.
Here is an interactive link on the NCTM that explores length, area and volume of similar figures: http://standards.nctm.org/document/eexamples/chap6/6.3/index.htm
Here is a link for the NCTM site that has electronic examples that are interactive: http://standards.nctm.org/document/eexamples/chap5/5.2/index.htm

If you encountered difficulty with any of the concepts or practice problems, you should go to the community. There you will be able to post in the discussion area or contact the Interdiscplinary Studies Math (IS Math) Course Mentors through the "Contact a Mentor" button, or e-mail.
