Use this engaging Tarsia card puzzle to help students learn to convert between degrees and radians including using pi. Students do a lot of thinking and learning and solve many problems as less writing needed. Working in small groups works really well as there is the shared goal of completing the puzzle. All students contribute as they all work at the same time and at their own pace on the same or different pieces. The activity also encourages maths talk. I recommend you print the cards onto c

Make it fun to practice using Pythagoras and trigonometry to find sides and angles in right angled triangles with these four maze activities. Students can work individually or in pairs, on paper or digitally with Easel. Answers are provided. The four mazes are graduated as follows: Use Pythagoras to find length of a sideUse trigonometry to find an angleUse trigonometry to find the length of a sideUse Pythagoras and trigonometry to find angles and sides.Choose the maze that relates to your lesson
