Introduction to Polar coordinates
The class practices plotting points in a Cartesian coordinate system and a Polar coordinate system. They convert from one system to the other to get coordinates to plot. Then they play a Tic-Tac-Toe or Connect Four game to have a...

Exploiting the Connection to Cartesian Coordinates
Multiplication in polar form is nice and neat—that is not the case for coordinate representation. Multiplication by a complex number results in a dilation and a rotation in the plane. The formulas to show the dilation and rotation are...

College Algebra
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,...

Introduction To Polar Coordinates
High schoolers investigate the polar coordinate system and practice plotting using Cartesian Coordinates. They find the angle and the radius and plot them while comprehending the ordered pairs using the x and y axis. The lesson includes...

Trigonometric Form of Complex Numbers
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...

Polar And Cartesian Coordinates
Students engage in a lesson that is about the study of Cartesian and Polar Coordinates. They play a game of Battleship to create the context for the lesson. The examples in the lesson can be used as a guide for the students or the teacher.

R & R - Incorporating Literature While Teaching Math - Ordered Pairs - "The Polar Express"
Third graders create pictures using ordered pairs after listening to a piece of literature. In this ordered pairs and literature instructional activity, student listen to and discuss The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. They...
Curated OER
Polar and Cartesian Coordinates
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...

Coordinates
High schoolers use cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) in 3-dimensional space. [Optional: appreciate there exist two ways of defining the z axis, and which of them is used.] They become familiar with the tools and terms used by surveyors.
