Right Triangle Trigonometry
Learn this: I will learn how to use special ratios, called trigonometric ratios, to figure out the lengths of the sides and angles in a right triangle. I will also learn how to solve problems using these ratios.
Engage with: I will engage in learning by interacting with the material. Below are optional ways I can do that. Or I can come up with my own teacher-approved ideas:
Use how things look the same to explain trigonometric ratios
Use what I know about angles that add up to 90 degrees, a special rule for right triangles (Pythagorean Theorem), and trigonometric ratios to solve problems about right triangles
Use trigonometry to solve real-world problems, like figuring out distances and angles in buildings and bridges.
Grow from: I will respond to teacher feedback.
Solid Geometry
Learn this: I will explore 3D shapes, find their sizes, and solve problems using scaling and visualizing objects in space.
Engage with: I will engage in learning by interacting with the material. Below are optional ways I can do that. Or I can come up with my own teacher-approved ideas:
Find the size of different shapes, including their areas, surface areas, and volumes.
Imagine and work with objects in three dimensions.
Change the size of shapes and understand how it affects their areas and volumes.
Use different methods, like cutting and comparing, to figure out how much space objects take up, especially pyramids and cones.
Grow from: I will respond to teacher feedback.
Model with Probability
Learn this: I will learn how to calculate and understand the chances of multiple things happening at the same time.
Engage with: I will engage in learning by interacting with the material. Below are optional ways I can do that. Or I can come up with my own teacher-approved ideas:
Use probability models to answer questions about the world
Calculate and estimate probabilities using data
Interpret and make sense of results to make predictions and inform decisions
Effectively use tools and technology to simulate random processes and approximate probabilities, and create and interpret two-way frequency tables
Grow from: I will respond to teacher feedback.
Data Management and Visualization
Learn this: I will learn how to work with data in a helpful way. This includes organizing different types of data, handling missing data, and representing it in a way that is easy to understand using technology.
Engage with: I will engage in learning by interacting with the material. Below are optional ways I can do that. Or I can come up with my own teacher-approved ideas:
Organize different types of data in a helpful way
Handle missing data in a meaningful way
Represent and describe data effectively so that it's easy to understand
Use technology to create accurate and visually appealing graphs and pictures that show the story in the data
Apply the skills you learn in class to real-world situations and potential career paths in data analysis, marketing, programming, and journalism.
