Develop maths literacy and reinforce essential trigonometry vocabulary with this mixed-level Match-Up resource.

The pack includes 10 ready-to-use activities, providing 100 matching opportunities, complete solution pages and an accompanying PowerPoint for whole-class teaching.

Pupils match 10 lettered mathematical terms to 10 numbered definitions on each activity. The same core vocabulary is rearranged across the versions, providing repeated retrieval practice without pupils simply memorising the position of each answer.

Vocabulary covered:

• sine
• cosine
• tangent ratio
• trigonometric ratio
• opposite
• adjacent
• hypotenuse
• Pythagoras’ theorem
• sine rule
• cosine rule

The activities help pupils distinguish between commonly confused ideas such as:

• opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse
• sine, cosine and tangent
• a trigonometric ratio and a trigonometric rule
• Pythagoras’ theorem and the cosine rule
• the sine rule and cosine rule
• right-angled triangle methods and methods for non-right-angled triangles

Key relationships are reinforced, including:

• sine = opposite ÷ hypotenuse
• cosine = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse
• tangent = opposite ÷ adjacent
• Pythagoras’ theorem
• the sine rule
• the cosine rule

The accompanying PowerPoint allows each activity to be displayed, discussed and completed as a class. Printable PDF activities and complete solutions are included for independent work, paired discussion, self-assessment or quick teacher marking.

Ideal for KS3 and GCSE maths, maths literacy lessons, starters, plenaries, retrieval practice, revision, intervention, homework, cover lessons, tutoring, mixed-attainment classes, EAL learners and SEN support.
