This scavenger hunt has 15 problems in which students will evaluate trigonometric functions at any angle. This can be used with a unit circle or without. Print out the 15 problems and place them around your room. Give each student an answer worksheet and assign them a place to start. You can do this individually or in pairs. The answer they get will lead them to their next problem. They continue looping around until they have completed all 15 stations or time is called. This activity is great

There are 20 cards in this activity that review solving equations (linear and quadratic), finding the distance and midpoint, evaluating a function, finding the slope of a line, and writing an equation given 2 points. You can use these as task cards or set them up in centers. I use this activity on the first day of class. I give each student a card when they walk in the door along with an answer sheet. They first need to solve their own question and check the answer with me. Then have to g

This project involves graphing multiple trigonometry function on one set of axes. They have to graph a certain number of equations and have to use at least 3 different types out of the 6. For this they have the option to use sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cotanget, and cosecant. They also have to use multiple values that transform the parent function. We use a computer program (desmos) for the graphing. They need to find the features of each graph and write them out. The part that the stud

These are task cards that I use in my Precalculus class when working with trigonometric identities. The product includes 28 questions along with the answers. The questions can be printed out with just one side (the question) or two-sided (question on front and answer on back). I usually print mine with the answers on the back so that they can check their work and know if they are right. I have used this product in a couple of ways. First, I use it for them to work in pairs and practice s

This scavenger hunt activity consists of 12 problems. Students will use Law of Sines to find missing angles and sides of non-right triangles. All you have to do is print the papers (I usually print them on card stock), mix them up since they are written in order, and hang them on the walls. A recording sheet is included for them to write the answers on. The students (or groups of students) start at any of the problems, solve the problem, and then the answer they get will lead them to their

This activity is a review of Trigonometry. It is made up of 90 questions, 10 in each areas. You can use this as a chapter review or to review just a specific section. The answers are provided along with a sheet that you can print out with the answers listed so you can make it self checking. A student answer sheet is also included. The sections included are as follows: A. Geometric Mean B. The Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse C. Trigonometry Ratios D. Missing Side of Right Triangles u

This is a scavenger hunt that mixes up addition, subtraction, and multiplication of polynomials. It is a good review at the end of the section or a way for them to practice problems that get them up and moving. There are 12 problems in this set. The answer key is included along with a student activity sheet for them to record their work as well as the final answer.

In this set there are 36 logarithm cards with one part missing. I have used them in numerous ways. 1. Flashcards – print them out and let the students quiz each other to see how quickly they can evaluate them. 2. Card game – I have let the students play war with them, the person that has the higher number wins both cards. If there is a war they just flip over the next card and the winner gets all the cards. They play this until one person has all the cards. 3. Inside-Outside Circle –

This resource has 10 translated functions that students need to pair with the parent functions. The functions used are quadratic, cubic, absolute value, square root, and cube root. They then need to match the descriptions of the translated function with the proper equation. Next comes the table of values, where they will need to write out the original table and a table for the new function. The last column is a graph. I have supplied the graphs of all the parent function and the students wi

This is my template that I use with my students. I have them color code all of the angles when they draw it out. I have included my color copy as well so you can see a finished product. I make sure to tell them that the points on each circle are the same but it is spread out so it is easier for them to read.

Students will use the Inverse of the given matrix to decode a secret message! I have included four messages to decode (one for each period that I teach). They would need to put the numbers into a 1 x 3 matrix and use the 3 x 3 matrix to decode the message. The messages are as follows: FIRST PERIOD IS AWESOME SECOND PERIOD ROCKS THIRD PERIOD IS WONDERFUL FANTASTIC FOURTH PERIOD If you are interested in any that are not listed, send me a message and I can make them for you.

This resource has a grid with the four types of polar graphs (Circles and Spirals, Limaçons/Lemniscates, Roses, Polar Conics) and equations for specific graphs. On another sheet, there are 15 graphs for the students to cut out and place (or glue) in the correct spot on the chart. I have used this resource in two different ways, both at the beginning of the graphing lesson. First I have given them the chart and each student slips of paper to glue into the correct spot using their graphing calc
