Learners are introduced to the concept of imaginary unit and complex numbers. They are taught how to add and subtract complex numbers. Students define a complex number. They comprehend at least two applications of complex numbers....

Imaginary numbers are a real thing. Scholars learn about complex numbers, real numbers, and imaginary numbers. They classify given numbers as strictly complex, strictly real, or strictly imaginary in an individual or group activity.

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.

Explore a few powers of complex numbers numerically and decide if there is a pattern and use parametric equations to represent a complex number graphically. Use De Moivre's theorem to represent the roots of the complex number...

The class practices, on paper and/or on a TI graphing calculator the concepts of how to add, multiply, divide and subtract complex numbers using the correct property.

Help the class visualize operations with complex numbers with a lesson that formally introduces complex numbers and reviews the visualization of complex numbers on the complex plane. The fifth installment of a 32-part series reviews the...

Build on your class' understanding of real numbers as they begin working with complex numbers. Pupils begin with an exploration of i and the patterns in the powers of i. After developing a definition for i, they simplify complex number...

Are complex numbers and binomials similar? This stack of slides provides an introduction to complex numbers and shows how to operate with them. The worked examples show a connection between operating with binomials and operating with...

Represent complex numbers in two ways. Pupils use the interactive to convert polar and rectangular representations of complex numbers. The learners drag an overlay back and forth over the coordinate plane to reveal the polar coordinates...

This instructional activity is written from the perspective of a student teacher. A step by step instructional activity in which the class works on the trigonometric form of complex numbers. They convert between trigonometric and complex...

In this algebra worksheet, young scholars add, subtract and multiply using complex numbers. They apply the correct property of i as they solve. There are ten questions with an answer key.

Algebra In action! Watch the step-by-step process needed to multiply and divide complex numbers. The FOIL method is used to solve two different practice problems involving multiplication and multiplying by the conjugation is used to...

The foil method had been used for years as a way to remember how to simplify complex numbers. This process is demonstrated step-by-step, slowly so the learner will be able to follow along as the instructor solves the problem. Intended...

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...

To work through the complexity of coordinate geometry pupils make the connection between the coordinate plane and the complex plane as they plot complex numbers in the 11th part of a series of 32. Making the connection between the two...

Classmates apply midpoint concepts by leapfrogging around the complex plane. The 12th lesson in a 32 segment unit, asks pupils to apply distances and midpoints in relationship to two complex numbers. The class develops a formula to find...

Complex numbers were first represented on the complex plane, now they are being represented using sine and cosine. Introduce the class to the polar form of a complex number with the 13th part of a 32-part series that defines the argument...
