This tutorial walks students through how to create different types of graphs using the Create a Graph tool available on the website. Covers bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, area graphs, scatter plots, and dependent and independent...

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that illustrate graphing circles.

Explains the horizontal forms of trigonometric graphs by showing how they relate to the circular graphs.

The purpose of this task is to help students make the connection between the graphs of sin t and cos t and the x and y coordinates of points moving around the unit circle. Students have to match coordinates of points on the graph with...

The students will survey their classmates and construct circle graphs to display their results. Students will produce circle graphs using a compass and protractor, and then with an interactive computer program.This lesson plan was...

This section explores the relationship between right triangles, circles, and trigonometry. It investigates how a right triangle that is set inside a circle and rotates around the circle is connected to trigonometric functions and their...

This section explores the graphs of sine and cosine functions. It investigates how these graphs are related to coordinates for different angles in a unit circle.

The Clark University site shows and explains the graphs of the six trigonometric functions. It explains how to find an arbitrary angle measurement using trig. Also, it explains that sine and cosine functions are complementary.

In this task, a model airplane pilot is practicing flying her airplane in a big loop for an upcoming competition. The task could serve as an introduction to periodic functions and as a lead-in to sinusoidal functions. By visualizing the...

Students investigate how a pie chart can be used to display data graphically. The resource includes the activity and instructor resources.

The orbits of satellites are described and an energy analysis is performed. Kinetic, potential and total mechanical energy are explained and applied to the motion of satellites.

This site offers numerous activities for middle school and high school students to explore using Geometer's Sketch Pad.
