Basic Trigonometric Transformations
This lesson involves manipulating sliders to change the values of parameters in trigonometric functions and determining the effect that each change has upon the shape of the graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/basic-trigonometric-transformations
Stay Tuned Lab Sound Waveform Models
In this activity, students' will record the sound waveform of a tuning fork and analyze the waveform to determine frequency, period and amplitude information. They will model the waveform using trigonometric functions. This activity has been modified for TI-Nspire with the data in the activity file.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stay-tuned-lab-sound-waveform-models
Transitions
Students will explore converting rectangular equations to polar form and vice versa. Familiar trigonometric identities and circle relationships are applied in making the conversions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions_1
Trig Proofs
Students perform trigonometric proofs and verifying each proof through graphing.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-proofs
Trigonometric Patterns
Students use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-patterns@84
Trig Ratios - IB
Students will use the handheld to discover the relationship between the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine and tangent and the side length ratios of a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-ratios_1
Triangle Inequalities
In this activity, students will discover the Triangle Inequality Theorem and explore the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle given the other two side lengths. Students will also classify the type of triangle as acute, obtuse, or right using the Pythagorean inequalities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequalities
Trigonometric Ratios
Students discover the trigonometric ratios through measuring the side lengths of similar triangles and calculating their ratios. The formal definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent or an angle are presented and applied to find the missing side lengths.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-ratios_1
