Wed/Thurs 4/17/13-4/18/13 arcfunctions

Learning target: students can find angles using arc-functions.
Supporting learning target: students can explain the difference between inverse-trig functions and arc-trig functions

Activity: We will put a new entry in our periodic functions table of contents: trig identities.   Then I will have students create a new page, titles trig inverse and arc-functions.  Here are the directions:


1.)Pick a partner next to you.

2.) trade notebooks.

3.) Your partner will neatly draw 4 right triangles on your page, and you will draw 4 on theirs.

4.) When you are done hand the notebook back to the owner.

5.) Correctly identify the angles of the triangles drawn by only measuring the side lengths, finding a trig ratio, and referencing the trig values chart.

(use any of the three trig functions per triangle, but do at least one of each overall)

Handout:


Test for understanding, half page, students do the front 4 triangles and high challenge students can practice #5 & #6 on the back.
