I went to bed with this problem swimming around in my mind. I kept trying to figure out how to construct in GeoGebra. I told it to be quiet so I could sleep. It wouldn't.
Problem:
Given two squares, deconstruct and reconstruct as one square.

It's almost 1am. I'm going to bed now.

Nice work - hate/love those insomnia causing problems. The next step is to see if students can notice patterns with the applet, or even better, replicate the construction.
Looks great! In the slider properties, you can set the minimum step to something smaller than 0.1 to get a finer-grain animation, which makes it a little easier to see how the triangles fit together.
