Right Triangles (Trig Ratios)-Group Activity/Practice Forms A,B,C&D

(0)
This trigonometry activity consists of a total of 24 problems in which students will practice finding missing side and angle measures in right triangles using the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios.

The product is intended to be used for groups of maximum four members (there is a problem for each partner of the group in a section) . Solving similar problems in each section encourages the partners to help each other with methods. Moreover, this group activity may easily turn into a competition between groups. The product can be also used as an independent practice with four similar forms (form A, form B and forms C and D) if preferred. I have included a modified worksheet so the product can be used in this way. Here is the description of the problems in each section: Section 1&2 – given the hypotenuse and an acute angle. Section 3 – given an acute angle and its opposite side. Section 4 – given an acute angle and its adjacent side. Section 5 – given a leg and the hypotenuse. Section 6 – given the two legs. Students have to find the missing sides or/and angles. Answer keys are included.

Arc Length and Sector Area - Partner Activity
nikimathnikimath

Arc Length and Sector Area - Partner Activity

(0)
This is an engaging and collaborative partner activity in which students will use the formulas for arc length and sector area. There are 12 sections as in each partners are given a central angle θ in degrees and the radius r of a circle. In each odd section Partner A has to find the area of the subtended sector and Partner B has to calculate the length of the intercepted arc. And in each even section Partner A has to find the length of the intercepted arc and Partner B has to compute the area of the formed sector. This is a cute way to help students remember the formulas for arc length and sector area. Student may convert the degrees into radians and use the formulas A=0.5θ r^2 and s=rθ (θ must be in radians) or they can use the formulas A=(θ/360) πr^2 and s=(θ/360) 2πr ( here θ must be in degrees). The given central angle θ is <90 degrees ; 90<θ<180; 180<θ<270 and 270<θ<360 degrees. The activity instructions don’t require that students round to the nearest tenth/hundredth/thousandth so they may leave their answers with pi or they may use the pi button on their calculator to obtain the answers, depends on teacher’s decision. The activity sheets can be used as response sheets. Recording sheet where students to show their detailed calculations is provided as well. Answer keys are included.
