Resource Description

This Trigonometry: The Sine Rule lesson pack is a clear, exam-focused digital maths resource designed to help KS3 and GCSE (Foundation & Higher) students understand and apply the Law of Sines (Sine Rule) to solve problems involving non-right-angled triangles.

The resource explains when and why the Sine Rule is used, then guides students through step-by-step worked examples, algebraic rearrangement, and calculator-based problem solving. Students practise finding unknown sides and unknown angles, including questions that require careful interpretation and rounding.

This pack is ideal for classroom delivery, revision, intervention sessions, and exam preparation, supporting students as they transition from right-angled trigonometry to advanced triangle calculations.

 What’s Included:

• Clear explanation of the Sine Rule (Law of Sines)

• When to use the Sine Rule vs other trigonometric methods

• Formula presented clearly:

  • a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C

• Identification of opposite sides and angles

• Step-by-step worked examples

• Finding:

  • Unknown sides

  • Unknown angles

• Practice questions worksheet

• Exam-style questions with full method

• Rounding to decimal places and significant figures

• Clean diagrams aligned with GCSE exam standards

🎯 Ideal For:
