All mathematics has a rich history and a cultural context in which it was first discovered or used. The opportunity to consider the lives of specific mathematicians is promoted when studying Pythagoras’ Theorem. When solving mathematical problems students will develop their creative skills. Students are encouraged to question “why”; they compose proofs and arguments and make assumptions. Students learn geometrical reasoning through knowledge and application of angle rules.
