Furthermore, our Mathematics students embarked on an exciting journey to the Singapore Flyer, immersing themselves in real-world trigonometry as part of their assessment. Equipped with clinometers and trundle wheels, they meticulously measured the flyer, rode the attraction to record time against height, and even employed triangulation techniques to gauge distances to Singapore's iconic supertrees across the river. Their detailed reports, complete with models, now serve as the culmination of their trigonometry unit.
