Math is a contact sport. Get students outside and do some math. Students use to spend a day or more making cardboard clinometer . Using a free protractor app on student phone groups can get outside quickly and find the height of a flagpole. My kids love doing a real world problem using their phone with a free app to learn trigonometry. We will go over how solve trig problems on an Apple Iphone (uses Polish notation like old HP calculators) I will also show how I use Plicker, Zipgrade  before we go outside and do some trig. This is a hands on session
