New lessons and homework tasks on Secondary MyMaths

We are delighted to announce the release of 9 new pairs of matching lesson and homework tasks on Secondary MyMaths!

We have recently published new Secondary small steps content covering Pythagoras’ theorem at Key Stage 3 and 4. These resources were designed with feedback from teachers on the scope, difficulty, differentiation, and accessibility.

A MyMaths lesson page showing a rearrangement proof of Pythagoras’ theorem. The two diagrams show right-angled triangles arranged differently within squares.

One of the pages from a new lesson, showing a rearrangement proof of Pythagoras’ theorem.

The 9 lesson/homework pairs cover the following topics:

  • Right-angled triangles and hypotenuses
  • Introducing Pythagoras’ theorem
  • Converse of Pythagoras’ theorem
  • Proving Pythagoras’ theorem
  • Calculating the hypotenuse using Pythagoras’ theorem
  • Calculating short sides using Pythagoras’ theorem
  • Pythagoras’ theorem in 2D shapes
  • Pythagoras’ theorem and coordinates
  • Pythagoras’ theorem in 3D shapes
A MyMaths homework page showing eight triangles with labelled sides. Text prompts the user to select the triangles for which Pythagoras’ theorem is true.

A page from the homework task on Introducing Pythagoras’ theorem.

Find them in the ‘Latest’ or ‘Shape’ sections of the Library in the Classic MyMaths view.

Our updates are informed by feedback from our users – if you have any feedback for us, please let us know at mail@mymaths.co.uk.
