Review guide, practice test, homework packet? Yes, yes, and yes as it's all possible with a wonderful trigonometry packet. Every type of problem is there, starting from the unit circle and ending with conic sections. 

Don't just rely on the textbook. Released items from the AP Calculus BC provide pupils and teachers insight on how topics appear on the exam. The six items are divided into calculator and non-calculator sets with half of them also...

In this van Allen Radiation Belts worksheet, students are given the formula for the field line of the Earth's inner magnetic field. Students use this equation to find the polar coordinates of a field line in the van Allen Belts. They...

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...

It's Valentine's Day in geometry class! Celebrate the day of love with a heart-themed activity in which young mathematicians create a cardioid on polar graph paper.

Are you always looking for extra problem resources to incorporate in your classes?  A set of problems for a full AP Calculus course may be all you need! Each unit has a full set of questions and a sample test.

There are shaded areas, particles, polar equations, oh my! Teachers use the materials to see how their pupils compare to the AP® Calculus BC exam expectations. Scholars use the released items to practice on several BC topics and become...

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...

Take a second look. Form B of the AP® Calculus BC free-response questions allow pupils and teachers to see another set of items. The six questions expand the set of items from the 2011 free-response questions. Form B items include a...

Let them eat cake. The free-response questions from an AP® Calculus BC exam cover several topics that include finding the area under a curve within the context of creating a birthday cake. Calculus concepts include finding rates of...

Go around and around on the complex plane. The sixth lesson in a 23-part unit reviews representing numbers in the complex plane. Pupils graph numbers with equal moduli and notice they represent a circle. They continue to explore complex...

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 textbook takes the learner from the basic definition of slope through derivatives, integrals, and vector multivariable calculus. Each section is composed primarily of examples, with theoretical introductions and explanations in...

Differentiate between the exams. Using the Q&A document, teachers compare the free-response questions that BC test-takers see to those that AB test-takers see. The pupils see which questions come from AB content and also those that...

Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

Be integral to the learners in the classroom. Pupils use integrals, differentiation, and limits to solve the free-response questions from an AP® Calculus BC exam. Items cover topics such as area under a curve, particle motion, average...

In this graphing polar equations worksheet, 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...

In this area worksheet, students compute the area of a region bounded by graphs. They identify polar coordinates and sketch graphs of equations. This two-page worksheet contains approximately fifteen problems.

Students review polar coordinates, as well as translations and rotations in Cartesian Coordinates. They also watch a video on conics and write a summary of the video for a quiz grade. Students then find an equation after a...

Physics lab groups finagle with laser lights to determine the critical angle of refraction for both water and Lucite. Because there are no detailed steps or an answer key for this enlightening exercise, an inexperienced physics...

In this math worksheet, students sketch six integrals and rewrite the equations as double integrals with reversed integration orders. Students evaluate four integrals. They sketch all points on a coordinate plane when given complex...

In this math worksheet students find the solution u(x,y) of Laplace's equation in a given rectangle with specified boundaries. Students use the chain rule to compute values for a function and relate this answer to Laplace's equation....

In this sketching polar equations worksheet, students solve 5 short answer and graphing problems. Students describe a curve given the equation of the curve in polar form. Students sketch a graph of the equation.
