This is a 20-page guide for teachers containing an introduction to the three basic trigonometric ratios. A history of trigonometry concludes the module.
These lesson plans guide the teacher on how to introduce trigonometry to students through an investigation of similar triangles.
This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 9 Mathematics. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation ...
This is a five-page HTML resource about solving problems concerning surface areas of prisms. It contains one video and five questions, two of which are interactive. The resource discusses and explains solving problems involving determining surface areas of prisms to reinforce students' understanding.
How can you place four trees exactly the same distance apart from one other? By making a model! By using miniature trees to make a model of the problem, it becomes clear that a 2D solution is impossible. We learn how objects can help us visualise the problem situation, which in this case requires a 3D solution: a tetrahedron.
Are triangles really the strongest shapes ever? If so, why? Learn how and why right-angled and equilateral triangles have been used in engineering, architecture and design through the ages.
This is a website designed for both teachers and students, which addresses content on trigonometry from the Australian Curriculum for year 9 students. It contains material on working with the similarity of right-angled triangles, the three basic trigonometric ratios, and solving problems with trigonometry. There are pages ...
