Take ratios of sides to a new level. Pupils learn the definitions of the three basic trigonometric ratios in right triangles. Using the definitions, scholars find missing lengths in right triangles, based on a known angle. Individuals then work several problems to become more familiar with the trigonometric ratios.

Concepts

trigonometric ratios, trigonometric word problems, trigonometry applications, cosine, sine, tangent

Instructional Ideas

  • Have the class determine trig ratios for congruent angles to see they are the same independent of the size of the triangle
  • Ask classmates to come up with a unique method to remember the trigonometric ratios

Classroom Considerations

  • Installment four in a six-part unit covering right triangles
  • This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

  • Worksheet packet has a section devoted to note-taking during the video
  • Contains two worksheets to provide additional practice when needed

Cons

  • There are approximately five minutes of the video presentation that repeats itself
