CONTENTS

Differentiated worksheets (3 pages): three differentiated variations of one worksheet to practice using Pythagoras' Theorem to find missing lengths in right-angled triangles.

• Sheet A has 10 main questions, which includes 2 worded problems and a 3D problem. It also has 1 additional extension challenge question which requires students to solve repeated Pythagorean problems.
• Sheets B and C consist of the 10 main questions, but with hints and structure to help students tackle the same questions. Teacher notes and answer key included.

Answer keys

Answers for all 10 questions and the additional extension challenge

Suggested use:

Individual practice: I tend to describe the different sheets to students and allow them to self-select, with guidance if needed. For example, I say try:

• Sheet A if you are confident with pythagoras theorem and need a challenge.
• Sheet B if you understand the content but would like a few hints to get started.
• Sheet C if you are finding the content more challenging and want some structure and hints to help.
