GO SOLO As 91032 Trigonometry

I found SOLO taxonomy very useful for planning my lessons as well as learners to differentiate between Achievement/Merit/ Excellence. Here is the breakdown:

Achievement	Correct measurement and uses at least three different numeric methods in an attempt to solve the problem. Measurement And  1)Find any side of a right-angled triangle using Pythagoras  Theorem 2D and Pythagoras 3D. 2)Use sin, cos, and tan to find an opposite or adjacent side of a right-angled triangle 3)Use sin, cos, and tan to find an angle in a right-angled triangle
Merit	Solve a problem involving one or more of: 1)trigonometry to find the hypotenuse.  2) symmetry of isosceles triangles.  3)- comparing scale drawing with calculation  4)straight-forward 3D situations  5) vectors.  6)Interpret bearings or grid references. 7) Angle of elevation /depression  8)Applications  Present my answer in a way that is easily understood Give my answer to the problem in words
Excellence	Extended abstract thinking. This could involve one or more of: Devising a strategy to investigate or solve a problem. 1)Similar Triangles. Recognise Similar triangles and use Identify or draw triangles to solve problems  2)Solve 3D problems involving at least two triangles. Present my answer in a way that is easily understood Give my answer to the problem in words Use appropriate rounding, units, and mathematical statements.
