Illustrative Mathematics: F Tf Trig Functions and the Unit Circle
The purpose of this task is to help learners 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...

Clark University: Dave's Short Trig Course: Trigonometric Functions
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.
Interactive Mathematics
Interactive Mathematics: Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions
An interactive graph provides a demonstration to show how the measure of an angle is related to the sine and cosine waves. Topics covered include amplitude and period. Examples allow students to practice the concepts.

Illustrative Mathematics: F Tf Foxes and Rabbits 3
Students are presented with two graphs that show the populations of foxes and rabbits in a national park over a 24-month period. This is the third Foxes and Rabbits task. In this more realistic problem, students must find functions that...
