Description

 

 

We will study Trigonometry, the study of the angles and side lengths of triangles. Trigonometry is a very old mathematics dating back over 5000 years and is still a very important part of maths today in everything from construction to electronics to warfare to space travel.

Please bring a decent calculator a pen and your squared paper exercise book.

We'll use our trigonometry to start doing some measurement finding areas and volumes of previously unknown shapes, building our measurement skills to be able to find and estimate area and volume of regular, composite and irregular shapes and objects
