Teaching guide

What students learn

Use Pythagoras' theorem to find unknown side lengths of right-angled triangles.

How to teach it

Sort and name 2D and 3D shapes by their properties (sides, angles, faces), then build up to perimeter (add the sides) and area (cover with unit squares).

Worked example
Rectangle 2 cm by 15 cm. Area = ___ sq cm
Answer: 30

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Confusing perimeter and area, and judging a shape by its orientation rather than its properties.
