2. Aims and objectives:
2.1. General aims
Communicate effectively using visual, symbolic and for language skills in various models.
Collect, analyse, organize, and critically evaluate information.
Develop critical, logical, and analytical abilities and thought processes to enable learner
apply skills to current and new situations.
Know where to apply and how to apply the Theorem of Pythagoras to solve for unknown s
or angles.
Work effectively as individuals and with others as members of a team.
Find a pattern linking the ratio of sides of a triangle with the angles and hence understand
concepts of sine, cosine, and tangent ratios of angles.
Being able to reason logical and the use dimensional analysis appropriately in calculations.
2. 2. Specific aims
Work effectively as individuals and with others as members of a team.
Organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and effectively.
2.3. Lesson objectives
AT THE END OF THE LESSON, THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
Find an angle given a ratio.
Determine and calculate the unknown sides and angles of a right-angle triangle using
trigonometry ratios and information provided in a triangle.
Give the properties of a right-angle triangle and differentiate right-angle triangle from other
triangles.

6. Learning support
I will give them class activity and home activity.
Make extra classes by using after morning hours or afterschool hours.
I will slow pace when explaining to accommodate all learners.
8. Reflections (after the lesson)
Learners take time to understand what is being taught, but the moment you ask them quest
they answer them correctly.
What confuses them, they make it easy for you to clarify it again and understand.
They understand much better when their peers explain to them an the I noticed that I should
give them the time to explain to each other.
