Maths explained: every letsBug maths post

Maths explained with pictures and worked examples, from Pythagoras to word problems. Each post goes with a letsBug video and ends with practice questions.

  1. Pythagoras Theorem Visual Proof: Why a² + b² = c²: See why a² + b² = c² by moving four triangles inside a square. Then find any missing side, test for a right angle and dodge the classic mix-up.
  2. SOH CAH TOA: How to Know Which Trig Ratio to Use: Label the sides from the angle, tick the side you know and the one you want, and they pick sin, cos or tan. Worked examples, step by step.
  3. How to write equations from word problems in 4 steps: How to write equations from word problems: name the unknown, translate, find what's equal, test it. And why 5 less than x is x − 5, not 5 − x.
