Vector Treasure Hunt! Drawing Vectors Activity for Physics or Precalculus!
Ahoy, matey! Your students will have a blast practicing drawing vectors on this Vector Treasure Hunt! Students must follow written directions to draw vectors onto a treasure map. If they draw their vectors correctly, the students will find the buried treasure! Students will need to use a protractor and a ruler to draw their vectors. When they are finished, they will draw a "shortcut" on the map. This will be the resultant vector and show the displacement of the ship. Students will also ge

Graph Paper for Trig Functions
This changes everything! Student work becomes more consistent. Your grading will be so much easier! Using the four aligned graphs makes translations of trig functions crystal clear. This file has 2 pages of coordinate planes for graphing trig functions.The first page contains four blank graphs per page. The axes are unlabeled so that students may select their own scale.The second page has five blank graphs per page and is set up for conducting transformations on the coordinate plane.Please see

Trigonometry Project
Students use a picture of themselves and create a trigonometry story, i.e. a word problem that pertains to their particular picture. This is a great application of SOH CAH TOA! I have included a sample of what the project could look like. The sample one isn't typed but it gives the overall objective of the project. Students can really let their creativity shine!

Trigonometry Golf
I like to call this activity Putt-Putt-Geometry. It is 9 glorious holes of trigonometry application! This works great as a Trig unit project, end of year project, or test review (maybe 1 or 2 holes for review). The students can work in groups, pairs, or individuals. If your students are not proficient with Trig, or you have not covered it yet, each hole can be done using the Pythagorean Theorem instead - simply tweak the directions a bit. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do!

Sinusoids in Everyday Life - Applications of Sinusoidal Functions (w/Answer Key)
I am currently teaching trigonometry in my IB class, and I find it crucial that students be able to apply their knowledge of how to write equations of sine functions (e.g. y = a*sin(b(x-c))+d) to real-world problems.
I created problems based on windmills, AC household voltage, the motion of tides, and then I included a spiral review question requiring them to solve a trigonometric equation over a given domain.
Note: the motion of tides is not strictly based on a single sinusoid, but the exerci

Unit Circle Speed Relay Game - Trigonometry - Special Angles - with answer key
This is a game I use over several weeks in my trigonometry classes, to help students better recall the three trigonometric functions of all special angles on a unit circle in both degrees and radians.First, you’ll need to print off one half-sheet per student. Ask the students to stand in a circle (or at least a close enough approximation of a circle so that everybody can see everybody else at any given time). The teacher should also be part of the circle so that you, too, can see all of them a

Identifying the Hypotenuse, Adjacent, and Opposite
Many students find it difficult to identify the Hypotenuse, and Adjacent and Opposite sides when learning Right Triangle Trigonometry. This worksheet shows an easy 5 step method to help those students who are struggling with the concept. The worksheet starts with some introductory notes, then there are two worked out examples, two triangles for guided examples, and independent practice.

Ferris Wheel Investigation - Discovering Sine and Cosine Graphs
This is generally aTWO-DAY investigation that the students do in small groups.The students use their knowledge of 30-60-90 triangles to come up with the values for sine and cosine within the context of a Ferris wheel. Extentions include discussion of co-terminal angles, unit circle, amplitude, period, and phase shift. Prerequisite knowledge: Special Right Triangles and Radian measure. I do this BEFORE discussing the unit circle and end up referring to this investigation throughout our discussion

Law of Sines and Cosines Map Activity
Students apply the Law of Sines and Cosines by finding the distance or angles on the given map. Students draw triangles between 3 given cities. They then fill in given distances and/or angles between the cities and use the Law of Sines or Law of Cosines to solve for the missing angle or distance measure. I do this in groups depending on the level of the students.
