Angle Mesurment

Learning objectives

• Understanding the units of mesurment of an angle
• Understanding the interconversion units of mesurment of an angle

Notes for teachers

These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes.

Activities

1. Activity No #1 Introducing units of angle mesurments
2. Activity No #2 Interconversion between degree mesurment and angle mesurment

Introduction to Trigonometric Ratios

Learning objectives

• Identifying the opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenus of a right angle triangle.
• Undestanding the concept of different Trigonometric ratios.

Notes for teachers

Use property of similar triangle theorem for two similar right angled triangle during development of trigonometric ratios.

Activities

1. Activity No #1
2. Activity No #2

Trignometric ratio with angles

Notes for teachers

Many teachers and students feel that Trigonometry is a difficult to understand subject. One reason for this is that Trigonometry is multi-concept based. A student should know following concepts well

1. of measuring-angles, triangle and right-angled triangle,
2. pythogorus theorem,
3. ratios,
4. proportionality
5. Identities.
6. Trigonometry also require students insight,visualization and perceptual ability.

Project Ideas

PROJECT 1.

Calculation of angle of elevation
Trigonometry is around us.In this project we will apply our knowledge of trigonometry to shadows in order to calculate the angle of elevation to the sun at different times of day.
Procedure of Project: To calculate the angle of elevation of the sun go through the procedure

• Mesure your height and the length of the shadow you cast at two different times of day [at least 3 hours apart]
• Record the times and measurements [with units]
• Draw the right triangle in this scenario.
• label the sides of your drawing with your mesurements and angle of elevation
• Solve for the angle of elevation while clearly showing all your steps
  Note for teachers
  Don't forget that you need to do the procedure above twice for two different times of a day.
