This resource contains two excel files which encourage exploration of the background to Pythagoras' Theorem and give practice in its application. Each file contains the same nine sheets of questions which may be suitable for use in the classroom.

This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains five resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Pythagoras and Trigonometry’. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student...

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...

This series of three lessons introduces Python programming to students in secondary school. The lesson objectives include:
