Students investigate speed. In this rate of change lesson, students complete a rate/time/distance table to determine the average m.p.h. of a given trip. They listen and follow along with the lecture and examples to determine the average...

Ninth graders, after being given a unique scenario and a task sheet on Dead Man's Curve, calculate and explain the force needed to keep a car on a curve using a set of formulas and a geometric property of circles. They utilize and create...

In this trigonometric worksheet, students solve integrals by substitution and the Pythagorean theorem. Students use their trigonometric functions to solve problems. This four-page worksheet contains 20 problems.

In this geometry activity, students solve problems that are bimodal. They define properties of circles and triangles. There are 117 questions.

Students investigate circles and its arcs. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between an circle and its intercepted arcs. THey identify the central and inscribed angles.

Students discuss the sum of central angles and use string to create them on circles. They find the measure and length of both minor and major arcs. Students give examples of concentric, similar, and congruent circles and congruent arcs.

Students draw diagrams demonstrating how it is possible to two central angles to be congruent and their minor arcs are not congruent. In groups, they illustrate theorems with their constructed circles, create diameters of circles that...

Students take derivatives of exponential functions.  In this taking derivatives of exponential functions lesson, students prove the derivative of an exponential function is the exponential function.  Students find derivatives...

Learn about tangents with this handy reference guide. Provides detailed definitions, examples, and an interactive activity that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students to solve for missing segments created by a tangent line and a secant line intersecting outside a circle.

The tutorial explores the graphs of the tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions. The resource consists of animations and examples.

A wealth of resources to supplement instruction on parts of the circle. Find lessons describing chords, tangents, secants, and segments, as well as related practice quizzes and classroom activities.

Explains the basic concept of congruent triangles with step-by-step instructions and methods for solving specific problems on your own relating to this topic.

Students construct chords, secants, and tangents. From those constructions, they develop a deeper understanding of the terms, as well as explore certain properties of the constructions.

This activity is designed to help students discover several important theorems concerning lengths of segments formed by intersecting chords, secants, and tangents.

In this activity, students will investigate properties of angles and arcs formed when chords, secants, and tangents intersect and intercept arcs in a circle. They discover several important theorems concerning circles and arc sizes. They...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will adjust points to explore secants and tangents of circles. Click learn more to watch a video and click challenge me to answer a practice question.

Sketches of the graphs of the 12 "parent," trigonometry functions are given: sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, cotangent, arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, arcsecant, arccosecant, and arccotangent.

A short interactive activity to help you visualize the slope of a secant as it gets closer to the tangent line.

Students use the given graph to sketch secant and tangent lines. The resource consists of an enlarged printable version of a graph available in PDF format.
