A KS4 maths worksheet resource that can be used to develop concepts around trigonometric values and accurate drawing. Prior knowledge of SOH CAH TOA is required. 

The activity is a student-led investigation and consists of two sections: 

  • How to work out trig functions of angles without using a scientific calculator - students accurately construct triangles and measure lengths and angles.
  • How to work out inverse trig functions without a scientific calculator. 

To increase the challenge, step-by-step diagrams are included for the first investigation but not included in the subsequent investigations.
