Rugby Conversion Kicks and the Application of Right-Angled Trigonometry
From the sporting context of a rugby player attempting a conversion kick comes an application of right-angled trigonometry. The question “where to kick from?” leads to the consideration of how an angle of view changes as distances change and ultimately …

Generosity – an approach to fractions and percentages.
This unit uses the context of generosity to introduce a need to have a fractional way of thinking about something.
It develops a way of thinking about fractions – the for-every idea – that is the elusive multiplicative model.
Developed over about 5 years, this approach has been tried and seems to work. 🙂
