Video Lessons

The structure of the lessons is as follows:

1. Assigned reading.
2. Video
3. Video and classroom examples
4. Class work.
Suggested concepts embedded in this topic: 
Generalization, space, relationships, equivalence, representation, AHL: Quantity, Modelling. 

Content-specific conceptual understandings: 
• The properties of shapes depend on the dimension they occupy in space. 
• Volume and surface area of shapes are determined by formulae, or general mathematical relationships or rules expressed using symbols or variables. 
• The relationships between the length of the sides and the size of the angles in a triangle can be used to solve many problems involving position, distance, angles and area. 
• Equivalent measurement systems, such as degrees and radians, can be used for angles to facilitate ease of calculation. 
• Different representations of the values of trigonometric relationships, such as exact or approximate, may not be equivalent to one another. 
• The trigonometric functions of angles may be defined on the unit circle, which can visually and algebraically represent the periodic or symmetric nature of their values. AHL • Position and movement can be modelled in three-dimensional space using vectors. 
• The relationships between algebraic, geometric and vector methods can help us to solve problems and quantify those positions and movements.                                                                                                                                                                                                     IBO MAA HL Subject guide 2019
