LO To assess your understanding of Pythagoras’ Theorem RAG Key Words: Reflect, Communicate, Explain, Justify25-Oct-15 Starter Activity Complete the ‘Heard the Word Grid.’ Are there any key words that you have learnt or have a better understanding of now than you did at the start of this unit of work?
Grade FEDCBA Pythagoras’ Theorem I can recognise square numbers and cube numbers. I can find the value of squares and cubes and I can calculate square roots. I can solve problems involving square numbers, square roots and cube numbers giving reasons for my answers. I can find the length of the hypotenuse in a right angled triangle using Pythagoras Theorem. I can find the length of a shorter side in a right angled triangle using Pythagoras Theorem. I can find missing lengths and distances in shapes other than right angled triangles using Pythagoras Theorem. I can solve 3D Pythagoras problems.
