Students learn how to calculate a shorter side of a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras' Theorem.
Later, students apply Pythagoras' Theorem to solve problems involving more complex shapes as learning progresses.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to calculate a shorter side in a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras' Theorem
- Most students should be able to calculate the perpendicular height of an isosceles triangle.
- Some students should be able to calculate the area of an equilateral and isosceles triangle.
