22. NASA Quest > Space Team Online
...ches by estimating the Estimation angle of the rocket at its highest Number Sense and Numeration point from the tracking station. The angle is then input into the Geometry and Spatial Sense altitude tracker calculator and the altitude is read. Roles are Measurement reversed so that everyone gets to Trigonometry launch and to track. Depending upon the number of launches held and whether or not every student makes their own Altitude Trackers and Altitude Calculators, the activity should take about an hour or two. While waiting to launch rockets or track them, students can work on other projects. Altitude tra...

25. Creating a Scale Drawing
...hematics Students will understand mathematics and become mathematically confident by communicating and reasoning mathematically, by applying mathematics in real-world settings, and by solving problems through the integrated study of number systems, geometry, algebra, data analysis, probability, and trigonometry. Students estimate, make, and use measurements in real-world situations. Students select appropriate standard and nonstandard measurement units and tools to measure to a desired degree of accuracy. Students develop measurement skills and informally derive and apply formulas in direct measurement act...

26. How Distant is the Moon?--lesson plan #15
...that this limited view occurs because the Moon is close enough to us for different points on Earth to view it differently. Learn about the way Hipparchus used a solar eclipse to estimate the distance to the Moon and get some appreciation for the ingenuity of early astronomers. The method uses "pre-trigonometry" as described in the section on the parallax. Use simple trigonometry or a crude estimate--to correct for the fact that the eclipsed Sun was not directly overhead, but at some angle to the zenith. As a working example, apply the method of Hipparchus to the solar eclipse of August 11, 1999. Note: The...

29. Using a GPS to Find Area and Distance in the Real World
...of methods, the students will compute the necessary distances to calculate the area of a desired shape. Some lessons will deal with regular shaped polygons, while more advanced lessons will involve finding area of irregular shapes and more advanced mathematical area formulas from linear algebra and trigonometry. For example, students will find the coordinates of school property, buildings, and patches of weeds on the football field. Students will meet several mathematics goals, in addition to reviewing features of the GPS. Technology: Desktop Applications, Global Positioning System, Graphing Calculator Des...
