3.28 Pythagoras’ Theorem - Distance Between Two Points GCSE PowerPoint Lesson

In this 28-slide lesson, pupils learn how to apply Pythagoras’ theorem to coordinate geometry by finding the distance between two points. The lesson builds understanding by starting with line segments on coordinate grids. The distance formula is then introduced to calculate the distance between any two points (not on a grid). The final two slides are printable worksheets that coincide with Task 1.

The lesson includes:

• Clear, guided examples

• Discussion opportunities from Think, Pair, Share

• Mini whiteboard section to check understanding and clarify misconceptions

• Two structured tasks to practise key skills

• Challenge activity to extend and deepen learning

Perfect for engaging learners while reinforcing essential geometry concepts.
