Lesson Title Trigonometry in Action: Unveiling the Secrets of Right Triangles through
Multimedia Exploration
Content Area Geometry Grade Level: 10th grade
Content Standards G.GSR.6.3: Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve
for sides and angles of right triangles in applied problems.
Technology Standards 1.1. Empowered Learner: Students leverage technology to take an active role
in choosing, achieving, and demonstrating competency in their learning
goals, informed by the learning sciences.
1.1.c. Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves
their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.
Applying:
-In the video preparation phase, they apply their knowledge to create a
presentation that effectively communicates the process.
Analyzing:
- Students analyze different types of discontinuities and apply critical
thinking to determine how the factors in the numerator and denominator
contribute to these discontinuities.
- During video presentations, they analyze their assigned functions and
communicate their findings to the class.
Evaluating:
- During the video presentations, both the presenting group and the class
evaluate the clarity, accuracy, and creativity of the presentations.
- Students evaluate their own work and that of their peers during the Q&A
and discussion sessions.
Creating:
- The culmination of the lesson involves students creating video
presentations, which requires creativity in explaining the concept of finding
discontinuities.
- Students create solutions to problems independently and collaboratively,
demonstrating their mastery of the topic.
Internet Safety and Implementing a learning experience that involves technology, online
Student Privacy collaboration, and video creation introduces potential issues related to
internet safety and student privacy. Here are some concerns and strategies
to address them:
Students will have to create a video explaining the outline of their solution
approach. I will allocate a week for this project, during which groups will share
their videos with another group, providing constructive feedback on clarity,
accuracy, and overall creativity. This phase encourages collaboration,
allowing groups to enhance the quality of their videos based on valuable
feedback. Once the group projects are complete, students will have the
opportunity to publish their work online, specifically on YouTube, aiming to
assist future students in understanding trigonometry application problems. On
a designated day, each group will showcase their finalized video to the entire
class. To foster active participation, I will facilitate discussions and address
questions from the class after each presentation.
Design Reflection The activities in this lesson are designed to positively impact student learning
by integrating real-world applications, multimedia elements, and collaborative
experiences. Students not only grasp the principles of right triangle
trigonometry but also apply them to solve practical problems. The utilization
of multimedia authoring tools and video creation boosts engagement and
allows for creative expression, accommodating various learning styles. The
collaborative project fosters peer learning and communication skills.
