Mathematics Investigation to help students determine the method for finding the result of two optimization problems: 1) the maximum area of a rectangle, given a perimeter 2) the minimum perimeter of a rectangle, given an area

A Mathematics Investigation of maximum possible area of different 2D shapes with a given perimeter. Students can determine the area of each and make a conclusion about which of the shapes will have the highest possible area. Requires trigonometry for the pentagon/hexagon/octagon.

A mathematics investigation task that challenges students to find the dimensions of a cylindrical coca cola can with the minimum surface area, given a known volume.

A Mathematics Investigation for developing/finding the formula for the surface area of a cone and the surface area of a cylinder.

An inquiry activity in context to help students determine the meaning of parameters in vertex form, factored form, and standard form of Quadratic Functions.

A brief investigation of right-angled trigonometry using similar triangles. Students discover ratios for sine cosine and tangent.

A simple area-based proof of the Pythagorean Theorem students can use to prove it.

A task that challenges students to use their trigonometry knowledge to solve a problem in a real life situation.

A task that asks students to apply their knowledge of ratios and trigonometry to a real life situation.
