Ferris Wheel Trig Problem (part 2)

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Double win with a comprehensive learning exercise and an excellent worked out answer key. The learning exercise itself is twelve pages and begins with the simple sine and cosine graphs, then, develops into the reciprocal trig...

From a circle to a cycle! The final lesson of a five-part series challenges learners to use points from the unit circle to plot a repeating pattern. The repeating patterns become the graphs of the trigonometric functions. Scholars...

Have class members going in circles as they model the path of a Ferris Wheel using trigonometric functions. Building on the previous activity in this series on transformations, learners use trigonometric functions to model wheels of...

Use the graphs of the trigonometric functions to set the stage to inverse functions. The lesson reviews the graphs of the basic trigonometric functions and their transformations. Pupils use their knowledge of graphing functions to model...

Build on the understanding of finding angles using trigonometric ratios. Pupils develop the definitions of inverse trigonometric functions by restricting their domains in the 13th lesson of a 16-part series. They use inverse functional...

This mathematics session investigates how to graph trigonometric functions. The tutorial consists of class notes, calculator tips, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource includes methods to produce...
