Instructional Ideas
- Take the class outside and conduct measurements to determine heights of actual structures
- Provide examples without images for learners to practice drawing pictures from descriptions
Classroom Considerations
- Pupils should understand proportionality and be able to solve proportions prior to this lesson
- Builds on concepts developed in the previous fifteen lessons in this 36-part series
Pros
- The lesson takes time to investigate the different proportions that are possible for the same figures
- Concepts in the lesson demonstrate trigonometric ratios
Cons
- None
