Pythagorean Spiral Geometry Project
In a project combining high school geometry with creative design and art, students will discover connections between: Pythagorean Theorem, Special Right Triangles, Right Triangle Trigonometry, patterns, and design. This highly engaging project includes both a Pythagorean spiral creation and also requires students to show supporting math calculations to find hypotenuse lengths and central angle measures (SOH CAH TOA). This is always a favorite project of my students year after year!!A student s

Zip Lining Slope Between to Points Lab Activity
Goal: understand slope conceptually and calculate slope through any two points.
How do you plan to make the ratio of rise to run hands on and visual for students? How about by asking them to create zip lines? In this activity students will work in teams to create fast and slow zip lines using fishing line, paper clips, and any toy you can hang from the clip. Students will experiment with the ratio of rise to run as they must use the entire piece of wire for every zip line run meaning the onl

Graphing Sine & Cosine Investigation
Students learn so much when they discover the patterns in mathematics. This Geogebra investigation asks students to play with the values of a, b, c, and d in f(x) = a sin(bx – c) + d and g(x) = a cos(bx – c) + d individually to see the effects they have on the graphs of both sine and cosine.Students should have plotted the parent functions by creating a table of values prior to this investigation. These Vizual Notes are a great summary assignment following this investigation.If you are looking

Physics Lab 2 - Adding Multiple Vectors by Graphical and Analytic Methods
The best lab you can do to teach your students how to add multiple vectors by graphical and analytic method. It shows the graphical method of adding vectors in step-by-step method starting from selecting the scale.
The graphical method is followed by the analytic method in great detail. An extensive discussion is available in breaking a vector in to two components perpendicular to each other. Students usually find it difficult to break a vector in its components.

Stellar Parallax Lab
Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant objects. Astronomers can calculate this shift and by using trigonometry, they can calculate the distance to that object. This lab will have your students calculating the distance to a makeshift star by using parallax angles. This file has a detailed handout that outlines this lab, cut-outs, and a detailed teacher's manual. Enjoy!

Clinometer Activity - Application of Trigonometry
This is a hands-on activity I have my students do after introducing right triangle trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA). As motivation we discuss applications of trig such as forestry! I have a set of clinometers and 15 meter measuring tapes, but students can actually make their own clinometers with string and protractors! We do the two examples together in class, and then I have student practice using the clinometers. Then, they can go outside and take measurements of trees, buildings, flag poles, etc.

Hands-On Right Triangle Trigonometry
After teaching students the lesson on right triangle Trigonometry, I take my students outside for this activity which is finding the height of the school flagpole by using right triangle trigonometry. My students make the Clinometers out of protractors, straws, string, and washers, then use them to find the angle of elevation from their line of sight to the top of the flagpole. This is a great hands on lesson that helps students understand what they are actually calculating in class!
