Today we took a word problem and turned it into real life. We've all seen the problems in the geometry book or in the precalc book, if you hit a golf ball is such and such an angle, what will happen? Well today we got to live out in my class. We started over a week ago. We looked at possibilities of creations that would include the chapters that we had done on triangles rotations reflections trigonometry and properties of quadrilaterals. Students set the goals. A day for rough drafts. And a day for prototyping. Add day for me to figure out how to help those who still need it without taking over. And a day to play golf. They had to show to find angle using trig. How to use similar triangles to find the sweet spot on their course Wall that would make the ball bounce reflect is a better word probably into the hole. There were no slopes just 4 foot pieces of lumber 8 foot pieces of lumber a lot of masking tape 1 being at H for the whole.
