              Pythagoras’ Theorem in 3D

              Students learn how to calculate unknown lengths in cuboids and other solids by applying Pythagoras' Theorem in 3D shapes.  As learning progresses they are challenged to find lengths in composite shapes involving square based pyramids and cuboids.At the start of the lesson students recap applying Pythagoras' Theorem to the perimeter of 2D shapes.  The plenary challenges students to calculate the perpendicular height of a composite shape.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to calculate the long diagonal in a cuboid using Pythagoras’ Theorem.
              • Most students should be able to apply Pythagoras’ Theorem to calculate unknown lengths in 3D shapes.
              • Some students should be able to derive the formula for the longest length of a cuboid using Pythagoras’ Theorem

              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 […]

              Mathematics OFSTED Inspection – The Deep Dive

              July 6, 2019

              Earlier this week, my school took part in a trial OFSTED inspection as part of getting ready for the new inspection framework in September 2019. This involved three Lead Inspectors visiting our school over the course of two days. The first day involved a ‘deep dive’ by each of the Lead Inspectors into Mathematics, English […]
