Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)

Lesson Idea Name: Right Triangle Trigonometry

Content Area: Geometry
Grade Level(s): 9th- 10th

Content Standard Addressed:

MGSE9-12.G.SRT.6 Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in
the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

MGSE9-12.G.SRT.7 Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.

MGSE9-12.G.SRT.8 Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied
problems.

Technology Standard Addressed:

3d. Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and
pursuing answers and solutions.
7c. Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively
toward a common goal.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL )

Engagement: Develop self assessment and reflection, Offer devices, aids, or charts to assist
individuals in learning to collect, chart and display data from their own behavior for the purpose of
monitoring changes in those behaviors

Action& Expression: Enhance capacity for monitoring progress, Prompt learners to identify the type
of feedback or advice that they are seeking

Representation: Activate or supply background knowledge, Use advanced organizers (e.g., KWL
methods, concept maps)
Lesson idea implementation:
Right triangle Trig popplet is an activity designed to review right triangle trig unit before the test. Before starting the
worksheet, I will hand out a piece of paper with the blank keywords about the right triangle trig. Students who have
received the worksheet will enter the poppet site on the paper and begin the worksheet. While students fill in the

 Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)
blanks, I will walk around the classroom to see how well they are doing. Fill in the blanks to let students check how they
know the concepts you need to solve problems with the right triangle trig.
Reflective Practice: This lesson plan inspires students to check their knowledge about the right-angle triangle
trig. Through fill in the blank, students can check which part do they have to study more.
