This activity can be used with the NCTM illuminations website where students can explore what happens when you make changes to the equation. Students can immediately see those changes. The activity is a presentation where students have to identify the changes in each graph based on period, amplitude, or shifts (up and down only). From there, students can work with a partner to determine what they think the equation would be. Students can check their equations by using the illuminations website u

In the first google slide activity, students try to figure out the equations of the sine graphs (2 changes only...amplitude and shift up/down). This is the teacher version, so make sure to make a student copy and delete the answers at the end. These are great for students who are still working through these processes. All graphs are shown through 360 degrees. This is the first of 2 slide activities that I do with my students. The second one is listed separately. It has 3 changes: amplitude, shif

In this activity, students explore graph of sine functions and try to identify the 3 changes (period, amplitude, and shift up/down) in order to determine the equation of the graph. Students usually do this in my class as a partner activity at first. This brings about great conversations on patterns that they may notice in finding the equations. This is the teacher version, so it has the answer key at the end. There are 8 slides for students to analyze.
