As I was reading through the Grade 10 curriculum goals for trig: “except in the case of the ambiguous angle” I some how ended up down the rabbit hole of developing my very own trigonometry mystery series.
Take a look and tell me if it makes any sense! If so, please feel free to use it. I would love feed back in the comments section, or by email: cobblehillCLC@shaw.ca
I showed the three packages to my grade 10 student who struggles with math and she loved it! She wanted to do package C, which is the most difficult, so we dove into McTrig’s Top Secret Field Journal and learned everything from grade 7-10 basic trig so that we could solve the mystery!
Here are the four files:
McTrig’s Private Journal (work book): Detective Cosine McTrig’s Journal
Mystery Level A (grade 8 level): Crossing the River Qwu’atsun
Mystery Level B (grade 9 level): The Ambiguous Case of the man in the Tree
Mystery Level C (grade 10 level): The Great Sapphire Heist
