Foldable: Identifying The 6 Trig Functions of A Right Triangle

This document provides instructions for students to create a foldable to identify the six trigonometric functions - sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant - using a right triangle. It includes directions to fold and cut the paper, labels the trig functions with their definitions in terms of the sides of a right triangle, and provides information about two special right triangles - the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles. The document concludes with tips for using foldables in the classroom, such as having students use them for follow-up activities and keeping them organized in binders.

Some useful tips about Foldables


Once the foldable is done you must have the students USE it
on a follow-up activity such as a short quiz, BINGO game, or
set of guided practice problems or the students will NEVER
use it.
For grading purposes have students paper punch foldables
to keep in their binder, put in their portfolio, or to hand in for
a note-check.
When making foldables its best to hand students just 2 or 3
different colored markers to make color changes to emphasize
words or concepts but not so many that they get distracted.
Always have at least one or two foldables cut out and ready
for students who make mistakes.
If a student is absent the day of the foldable then just print
out the relevant Powerpoint slides for them to include in their
notebook. (SLIDE 7 & 8)
