LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Consolidate all circle theorems covered so far

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able solve circle problems using these circle theorems:

  • Angle at the centre is twice angle at the circumference
  • Bow tie theorem - angles in same sector are equal
  • Angle in a semi circle is always 90°
  • A triangle with two radii is always isosceles
  • In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles always add up to 180°
  • The radius at a point where a tangent meets the circle is always a right angle
  • Tangents from a point outside of a circle always form an isosceles triangle

LESSON: Use todays lesson get get lots of practice solving these type of questions. Ensure you complete the following sequence of questions:

Mon Mar 19th – Vector Racing

LEARNING
OBJECTVIE: To get an understanding of vectors by racing around a track

SUCCESS
CRITERIA: You will understand how vectors can be used to describe a movement on a grid and how the two components represent distance in the x and y directions

STARTER: Use the NrIch vector Game in practice Mode

LESSON: Show how to draw a grid on paper and then race in pairs / threes

RULES:

  1. Take alternate turns
  2. CAN only change either the vertical or horizontal component by +1, 0 or -1
  3. Going Off Course - Miss a turn

Play a full game on screen with all present using this web site – Road rampage Track is good

PLENARY: Discussion on efficient racing around the track

Weds 14th Mar – Bearings and Trigonometry

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To use trigonometry ratios to Solve Bearings problems.

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to use your knowledge of trig ratios to solve a variety of bearings problems

ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY: Can you find a solution to this problem by drawing it accurately and measuring.

A ship sails 80km on a bearing of 073°, it then changes direction and sails for 240km on a bearing of 165°.

How far south has it travelled from its starting point?

How far east has it travelled from its starting point?

LESSON: Go over above question step by step to show what needs to be measured (or calculated) to solve the problem.

Weds 7th Thurs 8th March – More practice using Trigonometry

LEARNING OBJECTVIE: Use Sine, Cosine and Tangent to solve right-angled triangle problems

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to solve trigonometry problems using sin, cos, tan, sin-1, cos-1, and tan-1

Engagement Activity: SOH CAH TOA

LESSON: IF you still feel unsure of how to use the trig ratios continue working through Exercise 12h for SINE, 12I for Cosine and 12j for tangent. DONT FORGET to check your answers as you compelte questions.

YOU MUST NOT JUST WRITE DOWN ANSWERS -YOU MUST SHOW SOME WORKING OUT

Use this guidance if unsure

  1. Draw a sketch of the question (or copy the drawing given)
  2. Label the sides you have been given and the side you are looking for (Adj, Opp or Hyp)
  3. Decide which of the three ratios you need SOH CAH or TOA, rearrange it to put what you are looking for as the subject of the equation
  4. Substitute values and then use calculator to work out answer
  5. Write down full answer then an answer to a suitable degree of accuracy

If you are confident Skip to exercise 12K on page 291 which are all mixed up. Use above guidelines to get started.
