M04 Activities
- Tangent Ratio Secret Message from Erick Lee - Students use the tangent ratio to solve 6 problems. The solutions let students create a keyword that can be used to decode a message made with a Vigenère cipher.
|
- How High is the Ceiling from Amy Gruen - Use a clinometer and trigonometry to measure the height of the ceiling (or just about anything else really).
- How Tall is Our School's Library - A nice height activity using a home made clinometer.

- Do Kids Really Understand Trigonometry from Sam Shah - Reminding students that a trig ratio is a ratio of sides and not a mysterious number that your calculator generates when you push a button.
