  • Image result for he waka eke noaImage result for trigonometry

    Context: He waka eke noa - A Canoe On Which Everyone May Embark

    Sub context - Turanawaewae - a place to stand/my homeground

    Big ideas:

    The focus of our context is a learning journey that we are all embarking on. Each of us have our own unique experiences, skills and abilities which we will bring to our learning in Maths. We will be looking learn aspects of maths that will be used in other curriculum areas and also focus on your learning next steps as evident from your e-asttle learning pathway.  Topics that could possibly integrate with other learning areas.

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are Investigating - the Pythagoras theorem
    • We are EXPLORING the concepts of position and orientation in relation to navigation systems.
    • We are EXPLORING the concepts of trigonometric ratios.

      FOCUS / ARONGA

      FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

      • We are FOCUSING...developing our understanding of Pythagoras and Trignometry
      • We are FOCUSING...using equipment i.e Clinometer to Solve word problems involving trignometry
      • We are FOCUSING...on interpreting points and lines on co-ordinate plane
      • We are FOCUSSING..on constructing and describing simple loci
      PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

      PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

      • We are PLANNING to design a clinometer so that we can apply our understanding of trignometry to find unknown lengths and angles.
      • We are PLANNING to create an educational resource so as to demonstrate our understanding of trignometric ratios.

        • Learning Intentions:

        • Reviewing our understanding of Number strategies
        • Introduction to Trigonometry and Pythagros calculation.

        Success Criteria: I can/have...

        • use pythagros method for calculating the unknown sides
        • differentiate and apply the rules for congruent & similar triangles

        Activities:

        1. Teacher led activites - Daily maintenance and revision of Number knowledge and strategies
        2. Independent activities - Complete activities from Google Classroom, write down a reflection of your learning in your maths book.
        Homework:
        You will be completing 4 tasks+ 1 weekly revision task on Maths Buddy.  Homework is reinforcement of concepts already learnt- therefore it should be easy.  If the tasks are too challenging or you haven't learnt, please let me know.  Tasks must be completed by Saturday 8 pm each week.
