Triangles
- Brainstorm on padlet;
expectation that students
able to connect
o Three sides
o Three vertices
o Isosceles
o Equilateral
o Right-angle triangle
suggest to students if
unable
- What questions involving
triangles have you come
across before? Expect:
o Volume of triangular
prisms
o Perimeter/Area of a
triangle
o Angles of triangles
(add up to 360)
o Congruent triangles
(SAS, ASA, SSS)
- Propose historical Pythagoras
question
o Ladder over the moat
but tall enough to be
over the castle wall
o Label a right-angle
triangle and introduce
Hypotenuse and legs
- In ancient times, Indian,
Greek, Chinese, Egyptian,
and Babylonian
mathematicians came up
against problems like this
and realised theres a pattern
o Bring up Pythagorean
triplets
o Whats the pattern?
How is 3 related to 4
related to 5, etc
- Challenge: Can you work out
the formula?
- The pattern is

Pythagoras theorem
How to find the third
length if we have the
two shorter ones

Exit Cards
o Summary of response
from exit cards
Homework
o Whose homework is
done?
o Whos happy with their
homework?
o Depending on
response allow for
homework to be
worked on during
lesson
