Abstract

The article summarizes five lessons from the author's teaching program on reflective safety garments and road signs in her precalculus high school class. It notes that the author taught the students to let them review and strengthen their geometry and trigonometry skills using a practical application. Also demonstrated is the progression of student's knowledge about the mathematics and the physics underlying the design of reflective materials.
