Plan for AS91259 (2.4 ) Trigonometry

 Plan for AS91259 (2.2 ) Apply Trigonometric relationships in solving problems (Internal 4 credits)

Achievement		Achievement with Merit	Achievement with Excellence
·       Apply Trigonometric relationships in solving problems.		·  Apply Trigonometric relationships, using extended abstract thinking, in solving problems.	·       Apply Trigonometric relationships, using extended abstract thinking, in solving problems.

This is their third topic and will be taught between week 2 to week 6 according to the year planner. I have been working through Trigonomtyy (2.4, Internal) with my 12MAA.
This topic is a combination of Algebraic skills, contextually based questions with Aera of non-right angled triangles, Cosine rule, Sine rule, Area of the arc, and sector. I am very excited to dive deeper into this topic because it is the first time I am online teaching through solving and working through contextually based questions.  I am very confident this will give students another concrete foundation towards the calculus pathway.
I got student input on how to teach this topic and after a discussion with my students. I made the following planning decisions:
• Applying SOLO taxonomy, to work on Achievement/Merit/Excellence.
• Spending more time on Algebraic skills, forming equations and applications.
• “Do now” questions every day to work on Trigonomtris skills.
• Focusing on the interpretation of questions and keywords. Mrs Latu will assist by translating wordy questions for one of Tongan ESOL students and Dr janni Van Hees will assist in tackling complicated contextual questions.
• Using Google calendar to set lessons and video the lesson for rewinding purposes.
• Tracking sheet will be used to track their progress.
• Continuing my study classes on Wednesdays and Fridays (after school hours.)
•  I will give students a KWL chart to facilitate better learning.
• At the end of the topic test, I am going to get feedback from the students to get a better insight into their strengths and weaknesses in order to organise a resit if needed.
• Using the online whiteboard, videos, and education perfect to make my online lessons more effective.



Next step: Apply SOLO taxonomy to graphical methods in solving problems AS91259 (2.4 ).
