Trigonometric Identities - Maze "True or False" (full typed solutions)
This is a set of two trigonometry mazes to practice proving and disproving trigonometric identities using the fundamental trigonometric identities ( Pythagorean, reciprocal, quotient identities). Students are given 24 statements. They will need to determine whether some of these statements are true or false, prove or disprove them and use their answers to navigate through the maze. Not all boxes are used in this maze to prevent students from just guessing the correct route. Recording sheets are

Solving BASIC Trigonometric Equations - Partner Activity "Make Compound Words"
This activity practices solving basic trigonometric equations. Students must find their primary solutions in the specific interval (0 ; 2π] and give answers in radian form. The process of solving involves only the use of the reciprocal identities and algebraic manipulation (such as collecting like terms) to isolate the trigonometric function on one side of the equation.Partners will each have their own set of fourteen equations. All the equations are well thought so the solutions of each equat
