Topic: Trigonometry

Criteria Action Description

Administration List the administrative duties

performed by the teacher.

Cementing What did the teacher do to Calculate equations using sin/cos/tan principles
understanding check understanding from the learnt in previous lessons, applying calculater
previous lesson? functions.

Objectives List the lesson's objectives and Understanding special angles in trig, triangle ratios
was it clearly defined throughout for quick understanding of angle and side sizes
the lesson? (rapid comprehension and answering)

Introduction How did the teacher introduce the TO DO questions, normal method to calculate
content? angles, special angle method (needs to be
memorized)

Differentiation How did the teacher cater for Visual principle of special angels in triangles,
different learning needs? catered by proving principle with TO DO questions
solutions
Assessment How did the teacher
assess whether learning
took place?
Classroom How did the teacher
management manage behaviour?
How did the teacher deal
with behavioural issues?

or expand this lesson?
Additional thoughts
Introducing example (exam) questions where
principle applies
Call in misbehaving students by name
Asking students for assistance with sum solution
(this is a method to keep attention and discipline in
class as well as including each individual in the class
to participate and verbally explain their processes)
Teacher uses already memorised special triangle
principles for rapid/instant calculation which
surprises students, engages students to want to learn
how to do it that way as well.
Use of promethean board to display triangle
equations, write on and is easily erasable, gives
instant access to different colours as well as endless
“paper”.
Introduction to special triangle principles and how
to incorporate it in solving a special triangle
equation.
