KS4 Maths Lesson Plan – Use Pythagoras’ Theorem To Find Accurate Values For Triangle Perimeters

Key Stage

KS4

Age

Years 10-11

Subjects

In this lesson, students use Pythagoras’ theorem to find accurate values for the perimeters of some triangles. Although the values of the perimeters are so close that it would be very hard to distinguish them by measurement, mathematics makes it possible to be absolutely sure about the order in which they come.
