Trigonometry Lesson Plans

1. Discovering Trigonometry- Frequently asked questions about Trig.
2. Right Triangle Trigonometry- Students will find values of trigonometric functions and apply them to solve right-triangle problems.
3. Seismic Waves- This example is about seismic waves.
4. SSA Construction- In this activity students will use Geometer's Sketchpad, Cabri Geometry or the TI-92 to construct the SSA Ambiguous Case to demonstrate the possible number of triangles which can be constructed based on the length of the third side.

1. The EUVE Orbit- The students will study the nature of a satellite's orbit around the Earth.
2. The Sine Function- To familiarize the students with the concept of the sine function by defining, by graphing, by computer generating, by using a "shop created" blackboard sine wave generator, and by presenting examples of natural phenomena which result in sine wave motion.
3. Trigonometric Functions- To define and demonstrate the six trigonometric functions.
4. Trigonometry- Shows visuals of basic functions.
5. Trigonometry Lessons- A variety of lessons and quizzes by Joe Mercer.
