(1) how to find the trigonometric functions using right triangles, (2) compute the values of these functions for some special angles, and (3) solve model problems involving the trigonometric functions. First, let’s review some of the features of right triangles. A triangle in which one angle is 90◦ is called a right triangle. The side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the remaining sides are called the legs of the triangle. Suppose that we are given an acute angle θ as shown in

or like drawing, then geometry is for you! Geometry can be divided into: Plane Geometry is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a piece of paper Solid Geometry is about three dimensional objects like cubes, prisms and pyramids. Plane Geometry Plane geometry is all about shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a flat surface called a Plane (it is like on an endless piece of paper). Plane A plane is a flat surface

A Kaleidoscope of Symmetry When I was a kid, I used to be fascinated with these little toy telescopes. It was not a typical telescope, though. It was special because, when you took a peek through the lens, all sorts of flowers from far off places would magically appear and it would leave me breathless. Of course, now I know a little bit more about these so-called telescopes, also known as kaleidoscopes. A kaleidoscope is an optical toy that can be consisted of multiple arts and craft materials

Making Geometry Fun with Origami Lucila Cardenas Vega University of Texas at Brownsville Introduction Teachers must have an understanding of students’ mathematical thinking in order to create meaningful learning opportunities. This becomes more relevant when teaching subjects that not all students have an interest for, such as, geometry. Since geometry is the study of shapes and configurations, it is important to understand how a student thinks about the different properties in geometry including
