Pythagorean Spiral Project
In this project, students will use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the side lengths of successive triangles. They will also use right triangle Trigonometry (Soh Cah Toa) to calculate the measure of interior angles. This project gives them a chance to create using Math, and to decorate their spiral in whatever way they choose. I often use this project before exams, allowing them to compete for bonus points. The spirals are easy to grade, and fun for the kids.

Sunrise / Sunset -- Trigonometry Project
This project needs to be assigned / completed before you teach them how to graph the sine and cosine functions. It can be used for everyone, even middle school students (though they wouldn’t be doing it for the sine / cosine aspect). Maybe I’m “old-school”, but I like to have my students do the first part of this project without any access to the Internet. The second part of the project requires them to research, so I would allow them to do that online.
This project is free and will alway

Trigonometry Functions Art Project
Trigonometry Graph Art ProjectThis project is a great way for students to practice graphing trigonometric functions while also creating beautiful art. Students can choose to create any type of art they want, such as a landscape, a portrait, or an abstract design. They can use different types of trigonometric functions to create different effects, such as waves, spirals, or curves.This project is perfect for students at any level. Students who are new to trigonometry can start by graphing simple

Modeling Tide Heights with Sine Functions Project
This is a project in which students do research on the heights of tides in different parts of the United States for different phases of the moon. Students will write the sine equations that best model these tides, and then graph their displays and answer questions pertaining to their functions and graphs. This project can be used as an in class assignment that is graded or just as an exploration activity. The grading rubric for the assignment is included.

Polynomial Roller Coaster Project
Students create a roller coaster on Desmos out of a polynomial. Students start by sketching a rough draft of their roller coaster identifying key points from it like maximums, minimums, and zeros. Then they plug those points into a premade Desmos activity and run polynomial regression for degrees 1-5. They revise their points or add higher degree regressions to find an equation they like. Then they answer questions about the features of the polynomial related to their real life context, like wha

Origami Project
This project has students choose and fold a piece of origami. They will use the outline of the figure to create a polygon, triangulate the polygon, and use the Law of Sines and Cosines to find missing parts of triangles. Once triangles have been solved, students will find the area of each triangle (I teach Heron's area formula and Area=0.5(a)(b)sin(C) to streamline the process) to calculate the total area of their figure. Great for remote learning and asynchronous project assignment. Hyperli

Sine waves - Favorite Athlete's Biorhythms
This was written for determining the sine waves that describe Peyton Manning's biorhythms before a big game. I use it during our unit on graphing and modeling sine functions. It could be easily adapted to your favorite athlete, politician, musician etc. by just googling their birthdate. Students will determine their own biorhythms as part of this activity. Definitely bogus science but still kind of fun to do.
