2012-2013 Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide High School Courses Unit Number: 03 /Mathematics Suggested Duration: 4 days Unit 03: Introduction to Trigonometry (15 days) Possible Lesson 01 (6 days) Possible Lesson 02 (4 days) Possible Lesson 03 (5 days) Possible Lesson 02 (4 days) This lesson is one approach to teaching the State Standards associated with this unit. Districts are encouraged to customize this lesson by supplementing with district-approved resources, materials, and activities to best meet the needs of learners. The duration for this lesson is only a recommendation, and districts may modify the time frame to meet students needs. To better understand how your district is implementing CSCOPE lessons, please contact your child s teacher. (For your convenience, please find linked TEA Commissioner s List of State Board of Education Approved Instructional Resources and Midcycle State Adopted Instructional Materials.) Lesson Synopsis: Students practice converting rates and units using dimensional analysis in real-world situations and examples. Students apply these skills in developing the concept of radian measure for angles. Radian measure is then applied to formulas involving arc length, sector area, and angular and linear velocity. TEKS: The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) listed below are the standards adopted by the State Board of Education, which are required by Texas law. Any standard that has a strike-through (e.g. sample phrase) indicates that portion of the standard is taught in a previous or subsequent unit. The TEKS are available on the Texas Education Agency website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148 P.3 /Knowledge and Skills. The student uses functions and their properties, tools and technology, to model and solve meaningful problems. The student is expected to: P.3E Solve problems from physical situations using trigonometry, including the use of Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and area formulas and incorporate radian measure where needed. Performance Indicator(s): page 1 of 47

2012-2013 Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide High School Courses Unit Number: 03 /Mathematics Suggested Duration: 4 days High School Mathematics Unit03 PI03 Investigate and solve a problem involving arc length and sectors of circles such as the following: For the figure below: A) convert the measure of the central angle to radians, B) find the length of the intercepted arc, and C) find the area (shaded) of the sector formed. Create a graphic organizer for the problem that includes a diagram of the problem situation, applicable formulas, and calculations. Standard(s): P.3E ELPS ELPS.c.1C, ELPS.c.5F page 2 of 47

2012-2013 Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide High School Courses Unit Number: 03 /Mathematics Suggested Duration: 4 days High School Mathematics Unit03 PI04 Investigate and solve problems involving linear and angular velocity incorporating radian measure such as the following: The radius of the Earth is approximately 4,000 miles. A satellite orbits 5 miles above its surface. The satellite completes 220 of a revolution around the Earth in a day. How many miles did the satellite travel in orbit during the day? What was the average speed of the satellite in miles per hour? A piece of exercise equipment uses a two-pulley system that allows users to lift weights by pulling up on a handle attached to a cord. The upper pulley has a radius of 6 cm, and the lower pulley s radius is 4 cm. An athlete lifts the weights so that they rise at the rate of 10 cm/sec. Find the angular velocity of the upper pulley in degrees per second. Find the angular velocity of the lower pulley in degrees per second. The motor in a clock is powered to turn a big gear (B, of radius 5 units) at a rate of 144 every minute. The second hand on the clock, however, needs to turn at a rate of 1 revolution per minute. So, the big gear (B) is coupled with a smaller gear (S) which will turn at a faster angular velocity. Find the angular velocity of gear B in radians per minute. Find the linear velocity of the teeth on the rim of gear B (in units per minute). Determine the radius that could be used for gear S so that it has the same linear velocity as gear B, but rotates at 1 revolution per minute. Create a graphic organizer for each problem that includes a diagram of the problem situation, applicable formulas, and calculations. Use the information to make predictions in terms of the problem situation. Standard(s): P.3E ELPS ELPS.c.1C, ELPS.c.5B, ELPS.c.5G Key Understanding(s): Angles measured in degrees can be converted into radians. Radian measure connects arc lengths and central angles of circles. Radian measure can be extended to describe angles of rotation. Rotation of an object can be measured using angular velocity, speed the angle rotates, and linear velocity, speed the object travels. page 3 of 47

2012-2013 Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide High School Courses Unit Number: 03 /Mathematics Suggested Duration: 4 days Misconception(s): Some students may think that is the symbol for radians (instead of the number of radians in 180 ). In fact, radian measure is intended to be unit less (or, without a unit). Ex: is approximately equal to the number 1.57; it does not mean half a radian.

2012-2013 Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide High School Courses Unit Number: 03 /Mathematics Suggested Duration: 4 days Suggested Day Suggested Instructional Procedures Notes for Teacher Engage 1 Students investigate rate around a track in terms of distance/time. Students calculate conversions using dimensional analysis. Instructional Procedures: 1. Facilitate a class discussion on track. Ask: Have you ever run track or observed people who were running track? Answers may vary. What shape is a track? Answers may vary. A rounded rectangle or a rectangle with semi-circular ends; etc. What is the distance around a track (one lap)? (approximately a quarter mile, or 400 m) About how fast can a person run around the track once? Answers may vary. Fast times may be around 50 seconds to a minute; etc. 2. Place students in pairs. Distribute handout: Making Tracks to each student. Instruct students to work with their partner to complete problems 1 2. Allow students time to complete the problems, and monitor to check for student understanding. Facilitate a class discussion of student results, clarifying any misconceptions. For problem 2B, emphasize the use of dimensional analysis. 3. Distribute handout: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis to each student. Refer students to the top of page 1. Display teacher resource: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis, and facilitate a class discussion of dimensional analysis, discussing the sample problem and modeling problem 1. Referencing the Sample problem, ask: Teacher Resource: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis KEY (1 per teacher) Teacher Resource: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis (1 per teacher) Handout: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis (1 per student) MATERIALS graphing calculator (1 per student) graphing calculator with display (1 per teacher) TEACHER NOTE Students should have addressed dimensional analysis in their science classes in high school. When performing dimensional analysis, be sure to emphasize the cancelation of units. The teacher can stop after each factor is used to ask, What units are we in now? For example, after using the second ratio (above), the rate has page 6 of 47

2012-2013 Enhanced Instructional Transition Guide High School Courses Unit Number: 03 /Mathematics Suggested Duration: 4 days Suggested Day Suggested Instructional Procedures How do you write 40 mph as a ratio? ( ) Notes for Teacher changed from miles per hour to feet per hour. Why is multiplying by equal to one another, so the fraction equals 1 (like ) the same as multiplying by 1? (The numerator and denominator are Once the third ratio is included, and units canceled, the rate is now in feet per minute (and so on). Why was 1 mile placed on the bottom of the fraction and not the top? (To cancel (or convert) the miles and replace it with feet.) How is the strategy of canceling units with dimensional analysis different from setting up proportions? Answers may vary. Proportions are equations to solve, where two sets of like units must be compared in the same way. This method uses multiplication, where any number of units can be included; etc. Referencing problem 1, ask: How do you cancel feet on the top of a rate? (Multiply by a fraction with feet on the bottom.) What is something related to feet you can write on the top of that fraction? (Miles, since 1 mile = 5280 feet.) Now, how can you cancel the seconds on the bottom of the rate? (Multiply by a fraction with seconds on the top.) What is something related to feet you can write on the top of that fraction? (Minutes, since 1 minute = 60 seconds.) 4. Instruct students to work with their partner to complete the remaining problems on handout: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis. Allow students time to complete the problems, and monitor to check for student understanding. Using teacher resource: Conversions with Dimensional Analysis, facilitate a page 7 of 47

Allow students time to complete the problems, and monitor to check for student understanding. Using teacher resource: Radian Measure of Angles, facilitate a class discussion of student results, clarifying any misconceptions. Emphasize that radian measure can be written in terms of (such as 90 = ), or as a decimal ( = 1.57 ). 5. Refer students to Formulas Using Radians on handout: Radian Measure of Angles. Using teacher resource: Radian Measure of Angles, facilitate a class discussion on formulas that incorporate radians. Emphasize that the degree measure must first be converted into radians before using either formula. Instruct students to work with their partner to complete problems 9 10. Allow students time to complete the problems, and monitor to check for student understanding. Using teacher resource: Radian Measure of Angles, facilitate a class discussion of student results, clarifying any misconceptions. 6. Distribute handout: Circular Reasoning to each student. Instruct students to work independently to TEACHER NOTE Handout: Inside Track bridges across Day 1 and Day 2. If necessary, portions of the handout can be assigned as homework for Day 1. TEACHER NOTE Students may ask why radian measure of angles is needed or necessary. One reason is that problems involving arc length become quite simple when radian measure is used. TEACHER NOTE Sometimes teachers describe radian measure as wrapping a number line around a circle of radius 1. TEACHER NOTE Compare the arc length and sector area formulas in radians to their counterparts that use degree measure of the central angle (m): Emphasize that these formulas have the conversion to radians built into them (with factors such as page 9 of 47

When two rotating objects are connected by the same axis or axle, they have the same. angular velocity Common Velocities When two rotating objects are connected by a belt, chain, rope, line, or their edges, they have the same. linear velocity Use the information in the table above to answer the questions that follow. 1) The Crazy Car is a child s tricycle with a large wheel in the front and two smaller wheels in back. The front wheel has a diameter of 20 inches, and each of the back wheels has a diameter of only 6 inches. A) As a child drives the Crazy Car, would the wheels have the same angular velocity or linear velocity? Explain. B) A child can pedal the front wheel at a rate of 40 revolutions per minute. How fast does this make the Crazy Car go in inches per minute? in feet per second? C) At this linear speed, what would be the angular velocity of the small wheel? 2) On a boat, a sailor must turn a crank that is attached to a spool to reel in (or tighten) a rope. The crank handle turns with a radius of 16 inches, but the radius of the spool is only 10 inches. A) Would the crank handle and the spool have the same angular velocity or linear velocity? Explain. B) The rope is being pulled in at a rate of 20 feet (or 240 inches) per minute. Does this represent linear or angular velocity? Find the spool s angular velocity. Include units. C) Determine the angular and linear velocity of the crank handle. 2012, TESCCC 07/25/12 page 1 of 2
