Review based on:
personal experience
Appropriate for:
introduction to a concept
Other Comments:
I think this will be a great tool to help students understand the Law of Sines ambiguous case. I will use it in the next few weeks and see how it goes over in the class. I have changed the labels so that side a is opposite angle A, etc.
What math does one need to know to use the resource?
trig functions
What hardware expertise does one need to learn to use the resource?
Some experience with Geometers Sketch Pad is helpful, but probably not necessary.
What extra things must be done to make it work?
I changed the labels of the segments so that the labels of the sides of the triangle match the angles opposite those sides.
How hard was it for you to learn?
Very Easy
Explanation:
I have experience with GSP, so I already knew how to use the tools. But even without GSP experience, I think it would be easy to use because it is designed well.
Ability to meet my goals:
Very Effective
