Students are guided through the discovery of Pythagoras’ Theorem using Pythagorean Triples. They use Pythagoras’ Theorem to find the hypotenuse and shorter side of any right-angled triangle. As learning progresses they begin to find lengths in 3D shapes.
Pythagoras’ Theorem takes place during Year 10 Term and Year 9 Term 6 for Higher. This is the prerequisite for Trigonometry at both Foundation and Higher levels.
