The teacher used a deductive approach by providing a general rule (the Pythagorean Theorem) and then having students apply this rule to specific cases (the fifteen practice exercises). In deductive teaching, the learning starts with a generalization that is then applied to specific cases.

In Geometry Class, the Teacher Gave the Students the Pythagorean a2+b2=c2a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } = c ^ { 2 }a2+b2=c2
