Pythagorean Spiral Geometry Project
In a project combining high school geometry with creative design and art, students will discover connections between: Pythagorean Theorem, Special Right Triangles, Right Triangle Trigonometry, patterns, and design. This highly engaging project includes both a Pythagorean spiral creation and also requires students to show supporting math calculations to find hypotenuse lengths and central angle measures (SOH CAH TOA). This is always a favorite project of my students year after year!!A student s

Graphing Sine & Cosine Investigation
Students learn so much when they discover the patterns in mathematics. This Geogebra investigation asks students to play with the values of a, b, c, and d in f(x) = a sin(bx – c) + d and g(x) = a cos(bx – c) + d individually to see the effects they have on the graphs of both sine and cosine.Students should have plotted the parent functions by creating a table of values prior to this investigation. These Vizual Notes are a great summary assignment following this investigation.If you are looking

Stellar Parallax Lab
Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant objects. Astronomers can calculate this shift and by using trigonometry, they can calculate the distance to that object. This lab will have your students calculating the distance to a makeshift star by using parallax angles. This file has a detailed handout that outlines this lab, cut-outs, and a detailed teacher's manual. Enjoy!

PHET Vector Lab (Online Simulator)
I created this lab as an intro into two dimensional motion for my physics classes. The lab uses all the techniques of adding vectors head-to-tail and demonstrates for them that the two vectors being added to make a resultant are the components of that resultant. This lab is great practice and very self-explanatory for grades 11 and 12. I created this lab so that it was an electronic lab so that they could open the lab on their computers, fill out the lab in MS Word, and submit it back to me onli

Parallax Measurements, and Determining the Distances and Heights of Objects
Embarking on an exploration into the realms of applied mathematics, this project uncovers how such mathematical principles can be utilized to determine the solar parallax of distant celestial bodies. The task set forth aims to expand students' understanding of mathematical applications within the context of real-world phenomena. By bridging the gap between abstract mathematical theory and tangible cosmic observations, the project aims to foster an appreciation for the interconnectedness of diffe

Triangle Inequality Theorem Inquiry
Allow students to discover triangle inequality theorem in an engaging, hands-on way. This activity uses spaghetti or a similar item as a manipulative for students to form triangles so they can make observations and find patterns. It is a great way to get students making their own conclusions about triangle sides.
