Group Assignment

Topic: Angles of Elevation and Depression


Hammond teaches Mathematics in a Secondary school. Angle of Elevation and Depression are the topics in Form 3 syllabus. Some students found them have difficulties in understanding its concepts.

The concepts of Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression are as follow:












α = angle of elevation,
β = angle of depression


In fact Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression are the funny topics. They both can be applied in daily lives. For example we can used them to calculate (i) the height of a mountain. (ii) the depth of a hole. (iii) the inclination of a road.

We plan to use 4 pictures to explain and consolidate the topic:

Topic: Angle of Elevation and Depression
1. Introduce Angle of Elevation.
2. Introduce Angle of Depression.
3. Games.
4. Exercise.

Proposed Group Assignment

• Hammond and I are teachers in Secondary schools. We are going to develop a teaching aid using Flash for students to learn.

• We are going to develop or explain a theory which allows interactivity and need not take a lot of time to download the animated images.

• We would like to use animated images to explain the theory because visual can make deeper impression in many aspects. Text is also important as good visual should contain well organized words in order to illustrate the pictures.

Session 4 Reflection

• During the lession I watched others' visual representation on raindrop. Some of the works are very well done by the classmates.

• Dr. Churchill had demonstrated the use of Flash in the lesson. As a beginner of Flash user I try to follow the steps to develop simple animation. The following is the simple work of me. http://iln.cite.hku.hk/com/1374/users/klcheng2/button-2.swf.

• Hammond and I had a talk about the assignment we are interested to do.

Visual Display of Task Two

Visual Display

Hammond Wong Yau Kit and I designed a single visual display to show the main ideas of the text, we hope all of you can understand what we drew and give us some comments.

Steps to finish the task two:

Read the text (separation)
Discuss the text (combine)
Serach information and pictures (separation)
Design a visual Display (combine)
Apply PhotoImpact and PowerPoint to do visual display (combine)
