Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Ancient Egyptians sure knew their trigonometry! Pupils learn how the pyramid architects applied right triangle trigonometry. When comparing the Pythagorean theorem to the trigonometric ratios, they learn an important connection that...

Students derive the six trigonometric functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students show their understanding of trigonometric functions as they relate the right triangles. They find the missing angles and side use trig ratios of sine,...

A baseball trajectory and a parabola seem to make the best pair in real-world quadratic applications. Here is a current baseball resource with questions, discussions, and explorations regarding a quadratic function and home run...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Student list the 6 trig functions and identify their inverse functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students derive the inverse trig functions using the derivative. They solve problems using the inverse functions through...

Touchdown! This is an exponentially insightful lesson that explores the growth of football games with different video game consoles. Class members discuss whether the increase of mergahertz can be described as linear or exponential....

Students define limits as it related to trig functions. In this trigonometry lesson, students take the derivatives of trig through specific patterns. They apply the formula for these special functions of sine, cos and tan in real world...

Learners investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students investigate the graphs of six trigonometric functions. They discover how changes in the equation of the basic function affect the graph of the function.

Students identify different locations on a unit circle. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the different trig properties and rewrite the equation of a circle in standard form. They use mnemonic devices to help them...

Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus instructional activity, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a...

High schoolers explore the concept of sine. For this sine lesson, students create a sine graph from tooth picks. High schoolers create a unit circle with tooth pick length radius. Students then take the tooth picks from the unit circle...

Arcsine will be better understood and applied through prediction the number of petals on a rose curve using polar equations. Students relate rose curve to siusoidal functions using the Ti navigator.

Students solve right triangles using trigonometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the unit circle to identify different trig values. They identify the six trigonometric identities.

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus lesson. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians measurements.

Learners relate projectile motion to parametric equations as they identify the velocity and angle of a projectile. They create a picture on the navigator to visualize the word problem.
