This lesson focuses on trigonometry including the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, and tangent.

In this activity, students use the calculator to solve trigonometry problems using sine, cosine, and tangent. They also find inverses of trigonometric functions.

This activity will use tuning forks and the CBR to gather sound wave data for students to use to write Sine (or Cosine) functions. In this activity we study waves of known musical notes before studying waves of unknown musical notes. I...

Given a sine, cosine, or tangent value, find the principle angle that has this value. In other words, find the arcsine, arccosine, or arctangent of that value. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions...

This section explores the Pythagorean Identity and how it applies to right triangles set inside unit circles, in terms of sine, cosine, and tangent functions.

Graphs of the cosecant function, both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional. This site from Math World tells the relation between cosecant and sine. If you are not familiar with the sine function there is a link for a better understanding....

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains how to find the derivative of each of the six trigonometric functions. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point...

Sketches of the graphs of the 12 "parent," trigonometry functions are given: sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, cotangent, arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, arcsecant, arccosecant, and arccotangent.

Three trig tables are provided for student and teacher reference. The first table lists the sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent values of all whole-number angles from 0 to 90. The radian equivalent (to four decimals)...

Visualize the different kinds of functions with these interactive activities.

Explore sine, cosine, and tangents compared to the selected angle.

An overview of the six trig functions and their graphs. The site is a little difficult to navigate but is good for finding a graph of a trig function.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students use the interactive features of Activstudio to graph various functions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Examples, videos, and practice problems covering cosine of a sum or difference related to a set of cosine and sine functions. Here you'll learn to rewrite cosine...

An introduction to finding the area of a triangle using the sine function. Includes several pictures and examples.

This applet allows the user to create the graphs of sin, cos, and tan by moving a scroll bar. The user can watch the unit circle and the graph simultaneously to see how the two are related. The user may also choose to see the angle...

Faced with a large number of trigonometric identities, students tend to try to memorize them all. This site the emphasis is on understanding how the functions work and on memorizing only about a half dozen of them - all the others work...
