Math at Work 11 Pacing Guide - This pacing guide replaces the previous yearly plan. It has been updated to reflect removed outcomes and provide flexibility for responsive instruction.
Math at Work 10 - 12 and related Math 7 - 9 Outcomes *Updated May 2024*
G01 Students will be expected to solve problems that involve two and three right triangles. [CN, PS, T, V]
G01.01 Identify all of the right triangles in a given illustration for a context.
G01.02 Determine if a solution to a problem that involves two or three right triangles is reasonable.
G01.03 Sketch a representation of a given description of a problem in a 2-D or 3-D context.
G01.04 Solve a contextual problem that involves angles of elevation or angles of depression.
G01.05 Solve a contextual problem that involves two or three right triangles, using the primary trigonometric ratios.
Additional Resources and Activities for G01 (right triangles and trigonometry):
Pirate Trigonometry - This activity could be used as a review of the three primary trig ratios learned in Math at Work 10 G04. A series of trig questions with a pirate theme that leads to a treasure.
How Tall is Our School's Library - A nice height activity using a home made clinometer.
Trigonometry Pile-Up! - This resource is a challenging puzzle to consolidate learning on trigonometry. The idea is that pupils have to start with the information they have in the bottom triangle and work their way up through the stack, finding missing side lengths to allow them to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of the top triangle. The puzzle can be solved with trigonometry alone (finding missing sides and missing angles) or Pythagoras’ Theorem can be used at some points as well.
Practical Trigonometry Problem Solving Desmos Activity - Armed with a clinometer and a tape measure, students are required to solve a series of trigonometry problems.
