Flying with Pythagoras
A lengthy narrative about Pythagoras and his learners precedes an activity in which your young mathematicians practice using the Pythagorean theorem to solve three problems about flight and distance. Answers are provided.
Curated OER
Pythagoras' Theorem
Students are introduced to the Pythagoras' Theorem and its history, proofs and practice in application. Students find perimeters, areas and volume of everyday objects. Students state and explain the theory.

Hey, Pythagoras! Help Me Understand Your Theorem!
Learners explore the Pythagorean Theorem. In this math lesson, pupils solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. They select the appropriate numbers to substitute in the formula to solve problems.
Curated OER
Practicing Pythagoras
In this math learning exercise, students practice answering the questions for finding the hypotenuse of the given triangles while using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Curated OER
Problems in Context
In this Pythagoras' Theorem worksheet, students read through an explanation of how to solve problems with Pythagoras' Theorem and answer 4 questions in the explanation. Then, students use Pythagoras' Theorem to answer 6 problems. They...
