Introduction to Polar coordinates
The class practices plotting points in a Cartesian coordinate system and a Polar coordinate system. They convert from one system to the other to get coordinates to plot. Then they play a Tic-Tac-Toe or Connect Four game to have a...
Texas Instruments
Complex Numbers: Plotting and Polar Form
Explore the concept of, and use the Ti-Nspire to, convert complex numbers into polar form. Then practice graphing complex numbers in the polar coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Polar Coordinates Game
In this algebra game, students pair off to plot polar coordinates on a circular graph. They attempt to hit each other by guessing their opponents location on the graph. This is a great way to reinforce the concept of polar coordinates....
Curated OER
Worksheet 25
In this math worksheet, students draw a graph of functions on a polar graphing system. They graph two functions by first plotting them on the vertical axis as a function of a given angle, then by plotting them at a radial distance from...
