Students are introduced to the characteristics of trigonometric functions. In groups, they analyze graphs of sine and cosine to determine the lengths of a triangle. They compare and contrast the graphical and numerical characteristics...

Students investigate error. As shown in earlier activities from navigation lessons 1 through 3, without an understanding of how errors can affect position, one cannot navigate well. Students explore how computers can help in navigation....

Tenth graders identify the trigonometric ratios for right angled triangles. Through independent investigation, they discover the constancy between the ratios of any two sides of similar triangles. In an alternative method, 10th graders...

Fifth graders explore the use of trigonometry to find unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles, taking the concepts that were developed in the previous unit and looking at different ways of practicing the new skills. Students...

Students develop a process for analyzing collected bayou data. They find the mathematical relationships among various biological factors. Students, work collaboratively using technology in their data analysis.

Tenth graders answer a variety of problems based on similar triangle and learn about the rule of thumb. They will test the rule of thumb by estimating the distance to an object in the classroom.

Students use their geometry and trigonometry skills to determine the distance between their school and another school.
