Motivational Techniques
Firstly, say the first Law of Cosines story problem out loud. After hearing this real life problem,
point out how everything they have been learning so far about the Law of Cosines is not
completely useless. Inform students how these story problems are real life applications of the
Law of Cosines.
Materials Needed
Promethean Board, packet of story problems, calculators. Students should bring their Law of
Cosines formula sheet and their binder with appropriate note-taking items.
Academic Language
Law of Cosines, bearing, complementary angles.
Assessment Methods
To know whether students properly understand and apply the Law of Cosines in story problems,
while students are working on the last example, I will be walking around the room. I will pay
close attention to the work that each student does on their own in the notes. Another assessment
that I will be using will be even less formal but still rather effective. The amount of answers that
students contribute and how accurate the answers are will help to determine their understanding.
