How Tall is That Object? Trig Activity
Unlock the mysteries of trigonometry with our engaging, hands-on activity designed to bring math to life for your students! This innovative lesson plan offers students the unique opportunity to apply their trigonometry skills in real-world scenarios by finding the height of various objects located around the school, inside the classroom, or even outdoors. Through this activity, students will embark on an adventurous journey into the world of angles and measurements. They will construct a clinome

Discovering Sine and Cosine Function Graphs
In this activity, students will use a linked Geogebra to explore the graphs of sine and cosine functions. They will manipulate the amplitude, the period, the phase shift, and the vertical shift parameters to determine how changing those parameters in the function affects its graph. They will reflect on how the algebra of the function relates to its geometry. They will then reflect upon what they have done by coming up with an equation for the period of the functions, exploring the sine/cosine

Modeling Tides with Trig Functions
In this activity, students analyze data sets about water depth through the daily tidal cycle. While completing this activity, students:-- practice computing the parameters of sinusoidal functions and check their work by fitting an equation to the scatterplot-- interpret the meaning of different parameters in context-- determine how a verbal description of changes to the environment would impact parameter values-- introduce a new term to a basic sinusoidal function to incorporate changes in globa

Trig Modeling and Pendulum Motion Lab
In this activity, students:-- decompose the motion of a swinging pendulum into horizontal and vertical components-- use right triangle trig to construct pairs of theoretical equations describing the motion of a pendulum with given characteristics (string length, drop angle, etc.)-- use the regression features of desmos.com to compare their theoretical equations to observed data-- use regression analysis to discover which characteristics of a pendulum determine its period (spoiler alert: period i

Modeling Length of Daylight Hours with Trig Functions
In this activity, students analyze data sets modeling hours of sunlight in three cities over the course of the year (Sydney, Juneau, and Washington D.C.) To complete the activity, students must:-- practice computing the parameters of sinusoidal functions and check their work by fitting an equation to the scatterplot-- use their equations to predict the hours of sunlight on specific days of the year-- use their graphs and equations to predict when pairs of cities will have the same amount of sunl

Modeling the Business Cycle with Trig Functions
In this lab, students analyze GDP data from five fictional countries. To complete the activity, students:-- create scatterplots of their data using desmos.com/calculator (or other graphing utility)-- use their data sets to compute the parameters of underlying sinusoidal functions and use Desmos to compare their estimates to the data sets-- interpret the parameters of their equations in context by describing how the economies of each country compare and contrast to each other.-- are challenged to
