• TLF-IDM021852

This series of six lessons explores geometry proofs using real world contexts focused on the dynamics of linkages and moving joints. Students use physical models and computer simulations, the lessons move from a view of geometry as a study to static diagrams to encompass movement. Each lesson is outlined in detail including ...

• TLF-IDM025326

In this sequence of two lessons, students investigate trigonometric and Pythagorean relationships through two contexts: researching and building a model zipline ride and outlining a proposal for glider poles. In the first lesson, students apply trigonometric and Pythagorean relationships to investigate the dimensions of ...

• TLF-IDS4972

These seven learning activities, which focus on the use of 'real data' using a variety of tools (software) and devices (hardware), illustrate the ways in which content, pedagogy and technology can be successfully and effectively integrated in order to promote learning. In the activities, teachers use the three content strands ...

• TLF-IDA003232

This planning resource for Year 10 is for the topic of Proof. Students are familiar with the basics of geometry and have been introduced to proof when looking at similar triangles. They will be extending and applying these skills and using deductive reasoning and geometric theorems to solve spatial problems in relation ...

• TLF-IDM016261

interactive activities that guide students to explore the interior and exterior angle sums of polygons.

• TLF-IDM016790

A 2D Shapes tool that can be used to create geometric objects such as quadrilaterals, circles, triangles, lines, arcs, rays, segments and vectors on a coordinate grid. Plot and label the vertices to reveal the internal angles, side lengths, area and perimeter, then manipulate the shapes on a grid to transform their shape ...

• TLF-IDM016660

An animated introduction to the basic trigonometric ratios.

• TLF-IDM016554

Interactive activities that guide students to consider the use and presentation of geometric reasoning.

• TLF-IDM009164

This is a 22-page guide for teachers. This module introduces coordinate geometry. The introduction includes finding the distance between two points, finding the coordinates of the midpoint between two points, determining the gradient of a line and determining the equation of a line.

• TLF-IDM009166

This is a 41-page guide for teachers. It contains an introduction to scale drawings and similarity, and in particular the tests for triangles to be considered similar. Applications of similarity are included throughout the module.
