Math Students Create and Solve Their Own Trigonometry Problems

Vandana Kadam, middle school math chair, had her trigonometry students engaged in an interesting project in May. Separated into groups, students devised their own problems and solved them with the knowledge they had gained during their class sessions. To demonstrate how they solved the problems, the groups made posters and PowerPoint presentations. “The idea behind the project is to give students an in-depth understanding of the trigonometric concepts that were taught as part of the course and also see real-life applications of trigonometry,” Kadam said. “All students thoroughly enjoyed the project and did a fabulous job.”
