This resource contains twelve problems requiring students to explore the properties of the functions of sine, cosine and tangent. Students explain which is the odd one out, state which functions can be represented by which graph, devise questions which give a certain set of solutions and state whether statements...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of trigonometry, often used in the field of engineering. They include the trigonometric ratios, using Pythagoras’ theorem and working with the sine and cosine rules.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided, together...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of trigonometry and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include the trigonometric ratios, using Pythagoras’ theorem, cosecant,...

This resource is designed as a resource bank of questions to supplement the teaching element of the lesson. The questions require students to use Pythagoras' theorem in order to find whether a triangle is right angled and find the lengths of missing sides, and problems on 2D and 3D shapes.

The next section...

This resource consists of 15 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, requiring students to plot graphs of the trigonometric functions and explain their properties, explore Snell’s Law, convert gradients into angles, calculate the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Trigonometry covers: Pythagoras' theorem, trigonometric functions; an introduction to sine, cosine and tangent; calculating the length of sides of triangles and calculating the...

This RISP activity gives students four properties - one side is 3cm, one angle is 90 degrees, one side is 4cm and one angle is thirty degrees. Students are required to find as many triangles as they can which contain any three of these four properties. Once the triangles have been found, students are asked to find...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of trigonometry, from an investigation leading to Pythagoras’ theorem to using the sine and cosine rules.

Trigonometry pack one contains nine work cards...

The first of two RISP activities, Radians and Degrees, students are set the task of finding an angle whose sine value is the same whether measured in radians or degrees....

Students are required to draw graphs to represent data and critique an incorrect interpretation of the data. Given the results of a survey, students draw a chart or graph of the discrete data provided to help explain why the interpretation of the results provided is incorrect and are required to draw their own...

Tunnelworks is a series of teaching and learning resources linking mathematics and science to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, a major new sewer that will help protect the River Thames from increasing pollution. Background to the project is given in the...

This resource contains a diagram made from a circle, four semi-circular arcs and a rectangle with dimensions given in surd form. The challenge is to find the total area of a given shaded area.

The student worksheets each contain different dimensions for the diagram, but the solutions all have something in...

This RISP, Almost Identical, is an activity designed to consolidate work on hyperbolics, exponentials...
