This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains five resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Pythagoras and Trigonometry’. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student...

This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around using Pythagoras theorem. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This resource consists of 23 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, asking students to: * investigate the area of tilted squares * explore whether Pythagoras’ theorem works for all triangles * find a proof for Pythagoras’ theorem *...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Pythagoras' theorem covers: the definition of Pythagoras' theorem, calculating the length of the hypotenuse, calculating the length of the other sides, solving problems in context...

This maths in construction resource looks at Pythagoras’ Theorem and the importance of right angles in construction. The activity is supplemented by worksheet-based calculations and links to careers in Quantity Surveying and Construction Site Manager.

This resource is part of a Nuffield Maths collection exploring Shape and Space. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In this resource students use Pythagoras’ Theorem to a series of solve problems.

This task is designed to assess how well students understand Pythagorean Triples.

In the initial task students are given the Pythagorean Triples

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25) and (9, 40, 41)

They investigate the relationships between the lengths of the sides of the triangles that belong...

The initial challenge is to attempt to draw a quadrilateral that does not tessellate. There is a Geogebra file included with the resources that will help demonstrate the impossibility of the...

This interactive resource, produced by the University of Leicester, is designed to enable students to explore what is meant by a quadratic equation, the meaning of the coefficients of a quadratic equation and to be able to solve quadratic equations. An introduction page gives examples of where quadratic equations...
