Illustrative Mathematics: F Tf, G Co, Trigonometric Identities and Rigid Motions
The purpose of this task is to apply translations and reflections to the graphs of the functions f(x)=cos x and g(x)=sin x in order to derive some trigonometric identities. There are also rotations 180 degrees about points on the x-axis...

Shodor Interactivate: Conic Flyer
"This applet allows the user to create graphs of conic sections. Using slider bars, one can manipulate the function to change the constant values and view the effects of those changes."
Curated OER
Trig Function Point Definitions
A java applet that relates the unit circle to the graphs of the six trigonometric functions, complete with the values of the functions.
Curated OER
Parametric Unit Circle
This site provides definitions for different parts of a circle, pictures to more clearly represent formulas involving circles. Some of the formulas discussed include: area of a circle, area of a sector of a cirles, circumference, length...
