              Lengths in Right-Angled Triangles

              Students learn how to use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate missing lengths in right-angled triangles.    As learning progresses they solve more complex problems involving triangular shapes.
              Lengths in Right-Angled Triangles Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to use Pythagoras’ Theorem to find any length of a right-angled triangle.
              • Most students should be able to use Pythagoras’ Theorem to find the height or base of an isosceles triangle.
              • Some students should be able to prove Pythagoras’ Theorem using algebra.

              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 […]
