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...

The class examines graphs in the form r = F(¿¿) in polar coordinates (r, ¿¿), in particular with the circle, ellipse and other conic sections. They determine the nature of an ellipse by studying the role of the semimajor axis and...

In this math worksheet, students sketch the regions that give rise to three integrals. They find the volume of a solid in the first octant bounded by a defined cylinder and a parabaloid. Students change a function to polar coordinates....

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...

In this math worksheet, students investigate different types of functions and coordinate systems. They review that when integrating a function over a region in the plane using polar coordinates, a “magical” factor of r appears in the...

For this math worksheet, students examine the graph in polar coordinates of r = f(θ). Then they sketch a graph of the modified functions indicated.

High schoolers construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. For this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is...

In this graphing polar equations activity, students solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they construct a table of values using the special angles and their multiples. Then, students plot the points in the table on a...

Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

This trigonometry textbook takes the learner from a basic understanding of angles and triangles through the use of polar coordinates on the complex plane. Written by a mathematician-engineer, examples and problems here are used to...

In this polar and exponential form worksheet, students use Euler's Formula to write complex numbers in exponential form. They write numbers in rectangular form. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day instructional activity: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last instructional...

Students view a polar view map and discuss ways of telling locations on the map. They view a copy of the map superimposed on a coordinate grid, then discuss ways of telling the locations. Students practice as a class and then...

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...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Take a step beyond Algebra 2. Learners use the eBook to learn concepts from the typical Precalculus course. Content starts off with a short review of functions in general and moves on to the basic functions, finishing up with more...

Eighth graders research highway designs and create a marble maze to illustrate a highway system. They test their designs and write reports defining the project and analyzing the results.

Students explore Global Positioning Systems.

Students explain that planets actually orbit the center of gravity of the solar system, and that distant planets may be detected by motions of their central star around the centers of gravity of their planetary systems.

Students examine the differences between a virus and a bacteriophage. They explore various websites, identify the parts of a virus and a bacteriophage, and construct a model of a virus or bacteriophage.

Hotmath provides 20 practice problems relating to polar coordinates and complex numbers. Each of the practice problems include a step-by-step guide for solving.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Graphing equations on polar graphs and finding points of intersection.

The University of Saskatchewan's Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides high school students with an online tutorial on complex numbers. Students can access accompanying examples within the tutorial. After you can also test...

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.
