The present invention provides a teaching aid system (10) for assisting students in applying trigonometric classroom lessons in real life applications both in indoor and outdoor settings. The teaching aid system consists of a pivoting scope (16) and an asymmetrically weighing gravity dial (18) that are pivotally mounted to a pair of support members (12). A tape measure (42) and an arithmetic electronic calculator (46) are attached on the support members (12) to enable students compute trigonometric formulations and applications of the same, when utilizing the system for real life objects either in indoor or outdoor settings. For determining dimensions of viewed objects, the student determines the distance from the viewed object using the tape measure (42), and the angles between the top and bottom of the viewed object using the scope (16) and gravity dial (18). Then applying the proper trigonometric formulae from a booklet or other conventional trigonometric formulae sources, the student can determine the height, elevations or slopes of objects. |
