| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

This lesson aligns with the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum, specifically focusing on the concepts of geometry and trigonometry as outlined in levels 5 and 6 achievement objectives.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Trigonometry | 5 minutes | Introduce the topic of trigonometry. Discuss its real-world applications (e.g., architecture, engineering). |
| 2 | Explanation of Ratios | 10 minutes | Explain sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. Use right-angled triangles to demonstrate how to calculate these ratios. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 minutes | Provide example problems and work through them as a class. Encourage students to ask questions to clarify concepts. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 3 minutes | Distribute practice worksheets. Students work independently on selected problems related to trigonometric ratios. |
| 5 | Review and Closing | 2 minutes | Recap key concepts covered in the lesson. Briefly mention the importance of homework for reinforcement. |
Students will complete a worksheet with additional problems on trigonometric ratios and real-world applications. The homework will be collected at the beginning of the next lesson for assessment, without presentations.
