LESSON PLAN FOR ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS FORM 4

Subject : Additional Mathematics Form Four

Form : 4 Arif

Number of Students : 36 students

Date : 10 May 2011

Time : 10.30 am – 11.50 am (80 minutes)

Topic : Angles of Elevation and Depression

Subtopic : 10.1) understand and use the concept of angle of elevation and angle of depression to solve problems
Learning Outcomes : Student will be taught to:

i) Identify
a) The horizontal line
b) The angle of elevation
c) The angle of depression
for a particular situation
ii) represent a particular situation involving :
a) the angle of elevation
b) the angle of depression
using diagram

iii) solve problems involving the angle of elevation and the angle of depression

Learning Objectives : At the end of the lessons, students will be able to:

 Understand and use the concept of angle of elevation and angle of depression to solve problems
 apply sine, cosine and tangent ratios to find angles of elevation and depression.
 measure lengths and use measurements to determine angle measures
Previous Knowledge : The students have learnt concept of:
a) Pythagoras theorem
b) Trigonometry’s ratio ( sine, cosine, tangent )

Teaching Aids : Computer, calculator, and Power Point, tape measurers, A4 paper, whiteboard

Approach : i. Teacher Directed Method

ii. Student Centered Method

Value and morality : Cooperation, pay attention, confident, curiosity attitude

CCTS : Make classifying, making generalizations, comparing and contrasting, interpreting, identifying relations
and making inferences.

Teaching 1. Identify: 1. Explain the meaning 1. Students pay attention to Teaching aids:
Development a) The horizontal line of angle of elevation and the teacher’s explaination PowerPoint,
(45 minutes) b) The angle of angle of depression. 2. Students jot down the note whiteboard, marker,
elevation 2. Teacher shows some 3. Students give some A4 paper, tape
c) The angle of picture on the slide and ask opinion and discuss with measurers
depression; students to identify whether teachers how to get the Value: Pay attention,
for a particular solution it is angle of depression or answer cooperation, confident
2. Represent a angle of elevation 4. Students ask question if Thinking Skill :

involving: examples of questions of topic thinking,CCTS,
a) The angle of angle of depression and 5. Students make a group of Reflection
elevation elevation on the slide, out to 4 people in each
b) The angle of discuss with student how to group and go to the field
depression; using get the answer 6. They fill the information
diagram 4. Ask the students be in in the handout
3. Solve problems group of out to 4 people 7. Student calculate the angle
involving the angle and each group get one of elevation by using what
of elevation ad angle handout they had learn
of depression 5. Teacher asks students 8. Each groups present their
to go to the sports information
field,then they need to
measure the height of one
person in the group and
person’s shadow
6. Other than person’s
shadow, teacher ask student
to measure the shadow of
the object that they choose
at the sport field like
goalpost, goal, flag pole
and etc
7. Using the information
that they get, they need to
 determine the angle of
elevation
8. After 20 minutes, each
group need to present their
information
Closure 1. Summarize the 1. Teacher ask students to 1. Students revise by tell the Teaching aids: A4
( 5 minutes) lesson revise the topic that they meaning of angle of paper
had learned on depression and elevation
2. Teacher gives some 2. Students take the Value: Pay Attention
homework to the students homework and will submit
and ask them to submit on it as required. Thinking Skill:
