Detailed Lesson Plan in Trigonometry

I. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, student should be able to:
1. Define the six trigonometric ratios of an acute angle of triangle (cognitive).
2. Explain why the six trigonometric ratios are trigonometric functions (affective).
3. Demonstrate the six trigonometric functions to the class (cognitive).

III. Learning Activities

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

1. Daily Routine
“Good afternoon, class “Good afternoon too, ma’am”
Alyssa will you lead us in prayer Alyssa will lead the prayer
Thank you, Alyssa. You may now take Students will sit down
your seat
Ms. Charlayne, will you kindly check who’s
present and who’s absent for today.
2. Review
Before we proceed to our new lesson, let’s “It’s all about on how to convert Radians to
have a quick review. What was our degree.”
previous lesson”
That’s right. So how do we convert angle “ In converting the angle measure from
𝜋
measure form degree to radians and degree to radians we use the 180 and
radians to degree” 180
radians to degree we use the 𝜋
.
3. Motivation
“ Now that you know how to convert degree
to radians and radians to degree, let’s Students will listen
have a simple game, class. (Showing
a hunt-a-word puzzle). In one minute I Students will look for the words
want you to find the six words below.

“Have you found them all?” “Yes ma’am!”

“ I want the group of JC to show us the

words below.Can you stand up and box The group of JC will box the words
the words below?”

“Thank you. You may now take your seat.” The group of JC will take their seat

Today we will be discussing the six Students will listen
trigonometric functions.
2. Abstraction
(Showing the cut out triangles)
We have a right triangle ABC with the
right angle at C and the two legs a and
b and c the hypotenuse. With respect Students will listen
to the acute angle θ, side a is the side
opposite to θ, the b would be the side
adjacent to θ and the c is the
hypotenuse.

(Showing the six trigonometric

functions) This are the six trigonometric
functions of an acute angle. Before we Students will read the definitions.
find the trigonometric functions of our
triangle, let us read first the definitions of it.

Let us first find the sinθ, firstwe need The side a is the side opposite
to find the side opposite and the and the side b is the side hypotenuse.
hypotenuse of the triangle.
What is the side opposite of this
triangle and the hypotenuse?
𝑎
To label it, we will write 𝑐 .
That’s how we find sin θ.”

Now to findcos θ, we need to find the 𝑏

side adjacent and the hypotenuse of Cos θ = 𝑐
the triangle.So how we will label the cos θ?
𝑎
“Very good. In tan θ, we need the side Tan θ = 𝑏
opposite and the side adjacent. How we
will be label it?

“For the remaining three functions, these

three are the opposites to the first
functions. The cot θ is opposite to 𝑏
the function of tangent where the Cot θ = 𝑎
cot θ is side adjacentover side
opposite. How about the cot θ, how we
will label it?

In sec θ and csc θ, their opposites are the

 𝑐
cos θ and sin θ. So our sec θ = 𝑏 and
𝑐
the csc θ = 𝑎. That’s how we find the
six trigonometric functions. We will
only follow the definition of this
trigonometric functions.

Did you get on how to find the Yes, ma’am

trigonometric functions?

Do you have any questions? No ma’am.

3. Applications
(Showing an illustrated example):

2 √3

Let’s have another example. Find the six Student will raise his/her hand
function of the triangle. Who would like √3
to find the first three functions? Sine = 2
1
Cosine =2
√3
Tangent= 1
Very good. How about the last three Student will raise his/her hand
functions? 1
Cotangent = √3
2
Secant = 1
2
Cosecant = √3
