Developing understanding of Pythagoras' theorem Video
This video documents the efforts of a Year 8 class to develop a deep understanding of Pythagoras' theorem. Deep understanding of mathematics seldon occurs spontaneously; it requires planning. Students learn what they have an opportunity to learn. Developing understanding of Pythagoras' theorem provides insights into the challenge of teaching deep knowledge. Algebra, area, geometry of triangles and mathematical reasoning are all evident in this video of teaching addressing the challenge of increasing intellectual quality in the teaching of the Mathematics 7-10 syllabus.
