Host: Shahriyar is a Maths Teacher at a School in Northwest London, teaching years 7 to 11. He graduated from the University of Warwick in 2013 and set off to China for two years teaching IGCSE and A-Level Economics. Do you know how to solve for the distance between two points? In today's class students will learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points on a coordinate axis. Students will then derive the formula for the distance between two lines. Students will get the opportunity to apply Pythagoras' theorem with a number of exercises so they feel confident on the topic. This class is aimed at students in Years 9 - 11 and is especially great for those trying to improve their maths skills!
