Unit Circle Project
This Unit Circle Project is the perfect way to teach the unit circle to your high school math students in a fun creative way. Not only will students walk away with a better understanding of special right triangles and angle relationships after completing the unit circle project, but you'll also be able to decorate your classroom with their artistic ideas. Your administrators and parents will love seeing the artistic aspect of this unit circle math project. Instead of giving students the unit cir

Clinometer Project (Right Triangle Trigonometry)
In this project, students apply what they know about right triangle trigonometry to estimate the height of a tall object on campus. They create their own clinometer and use it to collect data. Students love getting outside to collect data, and they love working with a real-life application of these concepts!
Please download the preview file for information about supplies (string, straws, and coins) and setup.

Trigonometry Real World Application for Right Triangles
Need a real world application to show students how useful inverses of sin, cosine, and tangent are? In this activity, students find missing angles in furniture construction designs using trig! The set includes 6 drawings with a total of 21 missing angles. Students will use their knowledge of trig ratios, inverses, and angle relationships (such as parallel lines cut by a transversal and complementary angles). Two versions are included:Large drawings showing each design on its own sheet One she

Trigonometric Functions Project Architecture Real World Trigonometry
Apply trigonometric functions to the real-world of architecture with this mini-project. In this student-tested and approved project, students design the front of a building using different roof styles. Students determine the use of the building, draw scale drawings, and use trigonometric functions to determine roof heights and lengths. This product is appropriate for students who are relatively new to applying trigonometric functions to problems and was originally used by Algebra 2 students.

Twig-onometry Project: Using Right Triangle Trig to Measure Indirectly
This is a project that I use with my Geometry students to show them how to use right triangle trigonometry to indirectly measure things outside like trees, buildings, etc.
The project uses a homemade clinometer made using a protractor, drinking straw, and a weight. -- you can also use an app
It can be a two or three day project with real life applications. (surveying)

Quadrilateral Kite Experiment Project Congruent Angles & Perpendicular Bisectors
The purpose of the Quadrilateral Kite Experiment is to allow students to explore the characteristics of a quadratic kite and use those properties for flight. Students will construct a kite using wooden dowels, a plastic bag, and some string. They will conduct an experimental flight, recording their data and results. Students will then reflect on their results and the qualities of a quadratic kite that make it the choice shape for flight. They will then examine the results of others. Students wi

Trigonometry Golf
I like to call this activity Putt-Putt-Geometry. It is 9 glorious holes of trigonometry application! This works great as a Trig unit project, end of year project, or test review (maybe 1 or 2 holes for review). The students can work in groups, pairs, or individuals. If your students are not proficient with Trig, or you have not covered it yet, each hole can be done using the Pythagorean Theorem instead - simply tweak the directions a bit. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do!
