This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around using Pythagoras theorem. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

This resource consists of 23 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, asking students to: * investigate the area of tilted squares * explore whether Pythagoras’ theorem works for all triangles * find a proof for Pythagoras’ theorem *...

This resource is part of a Nuffield Maths collection exploring Shape and Space. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In this resource students use Pythagoras’ Theorem to a series of solve problems.

This task is designed to assess how well students understand Pythagorean Triples.

In the initial task students are given the Pythagorean Triples

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25) and (9, 40, 41)

They investigate the relationships between the lengths of the sides of the triangles that belong...

The different types of quadrilateral are illustrated in the first seven interactive sheets of this excel file. Examples of each type of quadrilateral are shown and then further examples illustrated on a coordinate grid. The next sheet is more like a quiz as...

A rectangle is presented. The length of a diagonal is marked. The sides of the rectangle are given in terms of expressions in x. The challenge is to determine the value of x. Solving the problem involves the use of Pythagoras’ theorem which then gives rise to a quadratic with...
