PERFORMANCE TASK 2

Performance Task Trigonometry & Pythagoras Theorem

Instructions

 

You are required to complete a viva voce performance task. The objectives are to create a platform for students to apply key concepts learnt in an authentic learning platform; to enable students to develop the Mathematical communication skills and also to effectively use information communication and technology as a media and tools for communication and problem solving. You should not take more than 1 hour to complete the entire exercise.
