Students will investigate circles, rose curves, limaçons, and lemniscates. They will note observations based on patterns they see. Instructions for setting up various calculators (TI, Geogebra, and Desmos) are included.

Students learn how to expand binomials using Pascal's Triangle and the Binomial Theorem. Vizual notes are an effective way to engage both the visual and logical sides of the brain. Students spend less time copying notes and more time engaging with them. Hand students a copy of the notes sheet (page 2), break out the colored pencils and gel pens and let the fun begin!

Students spend less time copying notes and more time engaging with them.Hand students a copy of the notes sheet (page 2), break out the colored pencils and gel pens and let the fun begin. This handout describes how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide radicals and rationalize denominators.

There’s something satisfying about figuring out something for yourself. In this investigation, students will discover the relationships between the sides for isosceles right triangles and 30-60-90 triangles. This investigation is for students who have used the Pythagorean Theorem and are comfortable with simplifying radicals. It helps them get proficient enough that they learn the shortcuts of 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 right triangles on their own.

Students will learn how to plot points in the polar coordinate system. They will find three additional representations of a point in the polar coordinate plane and will convert between polar and rectangular coordinates. This product also contains a practice worksheet that asks students to convert between polar coordinates and rectangular coordinates and graph in the polar coordinate plane. It also includes two problems asking students for 3 additional representations of a polar point. Vizual no

Your students will learn three methods for simplifying square roots – the cake method, factor trees, and simply looking for perfect squares. Vizual Notes are a great way to activate the creative side of the brain while learning material that often just uses the logical side. Graphics and visuals help link numerical concepts to images. Hand students a copy of the notes sheet (page 2), break out the colored pencils and gel pens and let the fun begin.

The circumcenter, incenter, centroid, and orthocenter are summarized, identified, and found by graphing. This activity helps pull out the special characteristics of the triangle centers and gives step by step instructions for finding them.

This set includes a foldable covering points, lines, planes, segments, rays, and opposite rays. Students must identify how it’s drawn, how it’s named, words/symbols, and facts for each. This also includes 24 task cards and a recording sheet with the answer key. Print a copy of pages 3 and 4 back to back (you’ll need to rotate one page so they copy correctly) for each student. (Override your printer’s complaint about margin size.) Have your students fill out the foldable using the answer key and

Use these Vizual Notes to teach students about amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shifts of sine and cosine waves. "Ghost images" of the parent functions are graphed in gray to help students see how the function changes. They are a great summary sheet to follow up with the Graphing Sines and Cosines Investigation. Vizual notes are a wonderful way to activate the creative side of the brain while learning material that often just uses the logical side. Hand students a copy of the notes s

This handout describes interval notation and helps students make the leap from a number line to domain and range. Students must have prior knowledge of the definitions of domain and range and should be comfortable with "all real numbers such that..." notation. Students start by writing interval notation for graphed number lines. They then make the connection that the x-and y- axes are nothing more than horizontal and vertical number lines. An interactive box with 36 graphs are also included to l

This foldable for an interactive notebook will help students identify corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior and consecutive (same side) interior angles. It also helps them understand the relationships between these special angles. Finally, an example of parallel lines cut by a transversal for each is given so they can set up an equation and solve for x.

Prove triangles similar via AA, SSS, and SAS similarity theorems. Vizual Notes are an effective way to engage both the visual and logical sides of the brain. Students spend less time copying notes and more time engaging with them.

This Vizual Notes sheet is summary that contains the equation for slope and a visual representation of positive, negative, a slope of zero, and undefined slope. It also describes slope y-intercept and point slope forms. The relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines is summarized. An example of each of the concepts listed above is also given for students to practice each concept.

Students learn vocabulary while filling out a unit circle in both degrees and radians. They also learn to convert from degrees to radians and vice versa. Coterminal angles, and formulas for angular and linear velocity are also included. If you are looking for more, I have bundled my trig resources.

Students will learn how to find the area of regular polygons by calculating central angles, apothems, bases and by using triangles. A = ½ Pa is not used in these Vizual Notes. Special right triangles are reviewed as is the tangent ratio. In addition to the Vizual Notes, students can practice the five step process with the included practice worksheet containing 6 problems. The key to the practice worksheet is also included. Vizual notes are an effective way to engage both the visual and logical

Students investigate linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic functions to learn how the sign of the leading coefficient and the degree impact end behaviors of their graphs. Two versions and their keys are included. The first one page document simply focuses on end behavior. The two page investigation also develops rules for the number of zeros and turns and is more suitable for PreCalculus.

Students learn vertical, horizontal, and slant asymptote properties via exploration of functions using Desmos, Geogebra, or hand held graphing calculators. They remember the properties of rational functions longer and with greater clarity than if given the information in lecture notes.

Students will learn the standard form of a parabola, and how to find the vertex, focus, and directrix for both vertical and horizontal parabolas. A 6 question worksheet/continuation of notes is included. Vizual notes are an effective way to engage both the visual and logical sides of the brain. Students spend less time copying notes and more time engaging with them. This product is now bundled in a Conics Unit.

This handout describes the relationship between a function and its inverse. It lists the steps to find the inverse of a function, focuses on domain and range of both, describes the horizontal line test, and the relationship between the graphs of functions and their inverses and the line y = x. Vizual notes are a wonderful way to activate the creative side of the brain while learning material that often just uses the logical side. Hand students a copy of the notes sheet (page 2), break out the co

Students will learn the standard form of the equation of hyperbolas with both horizontal and vertical focal axes. They will find the center, vertices, foci, and asymptote equations and graph them. Vizual Notes are an effective way to engage both the visual and logical sides of the brain. Students spend less time copying notes and more time engaging with them.
