This is a 'beyond-beginners' online course. If you have not completed one of Richard's intro courses but have some experience with GeoGebra then check the prerequisite skill list at the end of this overview. This course guides you through an engaging, inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching Yr 9-10 trigonometry. The course looks at building files which serve to get students thinking rather than simply to deliver information. Participants are encouraged to input their own ideas into the unit. The prerequisite skill list: Constructing figures using: point, line and segment tools, perpendicular-parallel line tools, polygon, circle and all measure tools, slider, checkboxes, text tool and move-drawing-pad. Modifying constructions via the properties box. Creating basic formulas using dynamic text. Fixing text to points. Accredited PD Hours=9

    | Flexibility is the key - I never have enough time but the ability to do this course whenever makes it achievable. GeoGebra is the most applicable software package to use with students - it is at the right price but also is very functional and has a variety of applications. Richards willingness to check course progress was appreciated and assistance was always at hand when needed. |
| I like the way students can experiment with diagrams to see relationships between side lengths an angles. The dynamics and fixed text make it quite easy for students to present good quality work that actually means something to them. Andrew's encouragement to use open ended questions while guiding students to seek relational knowledge is excellent. |
| It did not come at a good time for me but that is nothing to do with the course. |
| Provided motivation to attempt a different approach to teaching trigonometry. |
| I enjoyed and I think benefitted from the online version of the course. It was self-paced and learning happened where I normally plan and prepare lessons. This meant that I could apply what I was learning to my teaching immediately. I was able to test out the resources provided on my current Year 10 class and develop resources to use for investigating the derivative of Trig Functions my Yr 12 class. |
