Using Trigonometry to Find Side Lengths of an Acute Triangle
Not all triangles are right! Pupils learn to tackle non-right triangles using the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. After using the two laws, they then apply them to word problems.

Trigonometric Functions of Acute Right Triangles
Students derive the six trigonometric functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students show their understanding of trigonometric functions as they relate the right triangles. They find the missing angles and side use trig ratios of sine,...

Triangle Inequality Theorem
Students use the inequality theorem to solve triangles and their properties. In this geometry lesson, students are given spaghetti of different lengths and asked to create triangles. They conclude the necessary length needed to make a...

Applications of Triangles
Students apply the properties of a right triangle. In this triangle lesson plan, students describe and compare radians to degrees. They solve problems using the properties and ratios of a right triangle.

What's the Trig?
Learners determine the trigonometric relationships within a triangle as they construct a right triangle on the Ti-89. They find the sine, cosine, and tangent of various angles of their triangle construction.

Cyclic Quadrilaterals
What does it mean for a quadrilateral to be cyclic? Mathematicians first learn what it means for a quadrilateral to be cyclic. They then investigate angle measures and area in such a quadrilateral.

Ptolemy's Theorem
Everyone's heard of Pythagoras, but who's Ptolemy? Learners test Ptolemy's Theorem using a specific cyclic quadrilateral and a ruler in the 22nd installment of a 23-part module. They then work through a proof of the theorem.

Whatcha Gunna Do When the Hulkster's Measuring Too??
Learners measure using tools they have made. In this algebra activity, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

Module 6: Trigonometric Functions
Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...
