Instructional Ideas
- Give pupils a coordinate plane with a circle and have them measure the 30, 60, and 45 degree angles to use during notes
- Have learners use special right triangles to find the ordered pairs at 30, 60, and 45 degrees
Classroom Considerations
- Expects learners to understand trigonometric ratios and special right triangles
Pros
- Uses concepts developed over the previous few lessons in the series
- Resources include extra problems for independent practice
Cons
- None
