Right Triangle Trigonometry Scavenger Hunt! · Objective: Students will practice finding missing sides and angles in right triangles using the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. Angle

Objective: Students will practice finding missing sides and angles in right triangles using the sine,

cosine, and tangent ratios. Angle of elevation and depression word problems included.

Directions:

1) Print the 16 stations and scatter around the room (and in the hallway if possible, the kids love to

leave the room!).

2) Distribute the recording worksheet to each student, then place students in groups of 2-3 and assign

a starting problem. They solve the problem at their station. The answer they get will lead them to

the next station. They continue looping around until they have completed all 15 stations.
