How I Teach Trigonometry Ratios Part 1
This is a 25 page Smartboard file explaining how to establish the ratios needed to do basic trigonometry. The lesson starts out giving definitions for hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent. Next comes the words sine, cosine, and tangent along with a mnemonic to help remember the ratios. There is plenty of practice choosing which ratio you have and all practice pages include answers.

Choosing the Correct Trig Tool - "Whose Law is it Anyway?"
This gameshow style activity provides great practice for students to recognize the criteria necessitating each trigonometry tool (right and oblique). Students are shown a triangle with some sides and angles given, and they must either:
1) Decide what the most appropriate trig tool would be to determine the unknown (side or angle), or conclude that there is not enough information given to solve it. Or,
2) Decide which trig tool could NOT be used to solve the triangle. (This type of problem

Sine and Cosine Relationships of Complementary Angles in Right Triangles
This mini lesson focuses on the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles in a right triangle. Allows students to walk through the steps of labeling the sides of the triangle, as well as finding the sine and cosine on a calculator and rounding.
Best used as a whole or small group teaching.

IB Theory of Knowledge - What Knowledge is important?
This exercise ask ToK students to work in groups to design their own IB curriculum. What subjects should be mandatory? What subjects should be optional? Why? All of these prompts are used to help guide students to produce a "new" IBDP curriculum. Groups share their conclusions with the class. The teacher can then discuss with the class the various choices. Why did you choose to make that subject compulsory? Which knowledge is important? What if we disagree about which knowledge is important? The

IB Theory of Knowledge - Prohibit, Tolerate, Respect Game
A fun way to start teaching Ethics in ToK. Students are given index cards that have the names of various ethically controversial behaviour on them, for example arranged marriages, cloning, homosexuality etc. Students work in groups to place the cards in one of 3 categories - behaviour that is so offensive, it should be prohibited, behaviour that they feel is perhaps is unethical but should be tolerated, and behaviour that is acceptable and should be respected. When the groups are done with their

If a student steals a cookie...
Directions: Place students into 5 - 6 groups. In case you want, I included a random group generator into the SMART file for you. Students solve the problems on a whiteboard/paper. If the team gets it right, send one person from the group up to the board to pop open a box to see what they get...but be careful! There are many game changers in there just for you...and them! The GRAY X's help you keep track of which "cookie jars" you have answers.

Alg 2 - Smartboard Q and A Game - Trigonometry 2
This Smart Notebook file contains 26 questions with solutions for Algebra II. The categories include • Graphs, • Inverse Functions, • Law of Sines, • Law of Cosines, and • Modeling. The questions in each category are valued at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 points. Here is how the game works: • Suppose a student selects “Inverse Functions” for 100. • The student taps the value of the 100 and the question appears showing students a picture of a ladder leaning on a wall. It shows how far u

Introduction to Basic Trigonometry Activities for the Smart Board
Students are much more successful with solving basic introductory trigonometry problems when they spend time learning opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse and learning how to decide what trigonometric ratio to use when. This SMART Board notebook activity provides students the opportunity to practice this vocabulary. It also provides a 'pull tab' with answers. The activity ends with a little trigonometry comic relief.

Giza Pyramid introduction to Volumes of Pyramids
Students approximate the volume of The Great Pyramid of Giza by calculating the volume of each layer. This requires finding the angle of elevation then using similar right triangles to approximate the width of each step so they can find the width of each layer. A google sheet is linked to show students how to do calculations of this magnitude efficiently. A video explaining the volume formula proof is also linked to show students the use of mathematical models to approximate volume instead of sl

Trig Identities Smart Notebook Memory Game
Help motivate students to memorize their trigonometric identities by a game of memory! This interactive Smart Notebook game allows teams to uncover parts of identities and try to match one part with the other. For instance, students may uncover tanu, then they will hope to uncover either 1/cotu or sinu/cosu. Identities included: reciprocal, quotient, Pythagorean, and 3 of the 6 even/odd. (For use with a wireless slate and Smart Notebook software or with a SmartBoard).

IB Theory of Knowledge - The Strengths and Weaknesses of Induction
A 3 page SmartBoard Notebook file that contains discussion prompts about induction as a tool of logic and reasoning. The first page asks students to work in groups to identify generalizations that they routinely use in their IB subject classes and to assign some importance to them. Then the second and third slides move to a discussion of why we use inductive thinking (generalizations) and what makes a good (or not so good) generalization.
