    Students will work individually or in groups of up to three to create three trigonometry word problems based on real-life situations. Each problem must use a different trigonometric concept: 1) one of the basic trig ratios to solve a right triangle, 2) a special right triangle to find a missing side, and 3) the Law of Sines or Cosines to solve a non-right triangle. Students will take photos related to the problems, draw and label the appropriate triangles, show the step-by-step work, and present their problems and solutions in a video using Knovio.

    Assessment Directions: If you look closely around the world you

    live in, there are countless situations where mathematics can be used! This
    assignment will require you to look around in your own daily lives and to use
    your own experiences combined with lots of creativity to design word
    problems that can be solved using trigonometry.

    Students may work individually, in pairs, or in groups of three.


    No more than three in a group!
    Each group will be required to come up with three unique and creative word
    problems (each word problem must be at least 40 words) that is based on
    something they observed or experienced in their own lives. Using a camera
    or a phone, students will take a picture of a situation encountered in their
    lives and then design a word problem based on that picture. Each word
    problem should be posed clearly and with sufficient information that allows
    a triangle to be drawn and a solution to be found. I have posted an example
    that meets my expectations at the very bottom.

    The first word problem will require the use of one of any of the three
    trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, or tangent ratio) to solve for either a
    missing side or a missing angle of a right triangle.

    The second word problem will require the use of one of the two special
    right triangles (45°-45°-90° or 30°-60°-90°) to find a missing side.

    The third word problem will require the use of either the Law of Sines or
    the Law of Cosines to solve for a missing side or angle. Make sure the
    triangle needed to solve this word problem is NOT a right triangle.

    Once you have your three pictures and three word problems, solve each
    problem by clearly drawing and labeling an appropriate triangle and then
    showing all steps leading up to the final solution.

    Each group will create a 5-8 minute video presentation with at least 3
    slides using Knovio (you can create an account and is free to use).
    Each slide should have the picture that you took, your word problem, the
    appropriately drawn and labelled triangle, and the complete work to reach the
    solution. For the slides, I recommend creating them on PowerPoint and then
    uploading them to Knovio.
    Look for programs that allow you to type in the mathematical equations and
    expressions so that your work is neat and orderly. If you have Microsoft
    Word, for example, click on the following link to see how to insert
    mathematical symbols. You can also type in mathematical
    equations and symbols directly from PowerPoint as well.

    In your presentation, you will be graded on creativity, neatness and


    organization, accuracy, understanding, and on your ability
    to communicate clearly.
