Trigonometry Activities (by date, oldest first)

It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students.

This resource (task with complete answer key) takes students through the exciting discovery of the trigonometric ratios sine, cosine and tangent. It solidifies some essential algebraic skills with ratios and fractions. It helps students practice problems with the trig ratios and memorize each ratio. It puts their new found trig knowledge into some real-life problems.

This resource works great as ...

• an assessment exercise
• a task
• independent work
• distance learning
• math stations
• math centers
• homework
• constructive group work when introducing the topic.

Use this Treasure / Scavenger Hunt after teaching finding missing side lengths using trigonometry.

I have included all three trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine and tangent). There are a mixture of difficulty. The are questions on finding opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse so in some cases students will need to divide by the trigonometric ratio.

Instructions

• Print off the twenty question pages and put them up around the room
• Each question is in the middle of the page and the solution is at the top of another page.
• Answers are correct to two decimal places where appropriate
• A student begins on a given question, solves it and finds the answer on another sheet. The question on this sheet will be the next question they answer. Once they have answered all twenty, they will return to their starting question
• Depending on numbers, students can all start on different questions
• There is a student answer sheet included plus the correct sequence

Match the 14 equations in polar form to their graphs. Graphs are drawn on polar grids.

Answers are included.

Cut out the graphs and the equations and give to students who can work in pairs.

Get them to match the graphs and equations then stick them on large sugar paper.

An activity to discover the properties of the graphs of sine and cosine. Print off the circle and horizontal axis for each student. Enlarge to A3 if you want to make a display afterwards. You just need to provide some spaghetti and glue.

This is great for teaching trigonometry for angles greater than 90 and visualising the shape of the sine and cosine curves. My students particularly enjoy this one and hope yours do to.
