Session 4

I have chosen to work on the project individually.  I have chosen my topic to be basic right-triangle trigonometry.

1. Identify your underlying goal:

The ultimate goal of the instruction will be for the audience to be able to determine what the missing values are for given right triangles.  Students will need to identify whether they are looking for missing sides or angles.  Then, they will identify which of the three trigonometric functions to use and solve for the missing values.

2. Analyze learners' needs and abilities (Add an analysis of content and instructor needs/abilities/preferences.):

3. Identify what to teach:

Students will be taught how to identify and label the sides of a right triangle.  Following that, students will be taught SohCahToa to determine which trigonometric ratio to use in different situations.  Students will also be introduced to inverse trigonometric functions.

4. Set learning objectives:

Students can label the sides of the right triangle.  Students can determine which of the three functions to use.  Students can determine whether to use the regular functions or the inverse functions.  Students can solve for missing sides or angles in a right triangle.

5. Identify prerequisites:

Know how to identify a right triangle.

6. Pick the approach to meet each objective:

Students will be taught information through powerpoint presentation and will be assessed through online tests.

7. Decide the teaching sequence of your objectives:

In progress.

8. Create objects to accomplish objectives:

In progress.

9. Create tests (Add other methods to determine whether or not objectives are met as appropriate.):

Online tests through google forms.

10. Select learning activities:

In progress.

11. Choose Media (Add a discussion of activity structures and interactions.):

 I will use a powerpoint to deliver the content of this course.
