Description
Students are the creators of a new wild roller coaster made out of trig functions! In this project, students have to incorporate a variety of trig and inverse trig functions into a seamless ride. This project provides practice with graphing trig functions, writing their equations and placing domain restrictions.
Included:
- Project description and requirements
- Two options of suggested graph paper (Students roller coasters usually are long enough that they will need to join 2 pieces of graph paper together!)
- Grading rubric
- Student work examples
Something fun, different and creative for precalculus students!

CCSSHSF-TF.B.5
Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
CCSSHSF-TF.B.6
Understand that restricting a trigonometric function to a domain on which it is always increasing or always decreasing allows its inverse to be constructed.
