              Finding any length of a Right-Angled Triangle

              Key stage 3 mathematics for using Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate any length of a right-angled triangle.   Learning progresses from working with Pythagorean Triples to calculating the area of a right-angled isosceles triangle when only the hypotenuse is given.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to calculate a smaller side of a Pythagorean Triple
              • Most students should be able to calculate any side of a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras’ Theorem
              • Some students should be able to apply Pythagoras’ Theorem to composite triangular shapes.

              Literacy in Mathematics – Creating Problem Solvers

              October 28, 2019

              Last year my school had a OFSTED trial inspection. Whilst the maths team recieved favourable feedback the inspectors noted a need for a focus on whole school literacy. Because of this I was asked to demonstrate how we develop student’s literacy in mathematics. Literacy in Mathematics By developing student’s literacy in mathematics we aim to […]

              Angles in Polygons

              October 16, 2019

              There are two key learning points when solving problems with angles in polygons.  The first is to understand why all the exterior angles of a polygon have a sum of 360°.  The second is to understand the interior and exterior angles appear on the same straight line. Students can be told these two facts and […]
