Extension (Extra Credit)

For extra credit, post a response to a classmate's Gliffy diagrams. Answer the following questions:
  • Who's work are you reviewing?
  • Are the diagrams well representative of the objects in real life?
  • What objects from the school campus were used?
  • Are their calculations correct? Provide an example to justify your answer.
  • What comments or suggestions can you offer on their overall work?

Reflect

Reflect on your findings. Is there an area of trigonometry where you feel you need more practice? How did Gliffy help us to explain our lab? What careers would benefit from using trigonometry?

Describe Your Lab

So what did we find in our measurements? How did trigonometry help us to find missing heights of everyday objects on our school campus? Which objects did we measure?

Trigonometry - In Mathematical Language

Let's describe, in mathematical language, what trigonometry acutally is. You can use an online dictionary, reputable websites, your textbook and other resources to evaluate trig. Make sure to reference your resources.
