Vector Treasure Hunt! Drawing Vectors Activity for Physics or Precalculus!
Ahoy, matey! Your students will have a blast practicing drawing vectors on this Vector Treasure Hunt! Students must follow written directions to draw vectors onto a treasure map. If they draw their vectors correctly, the students will find the buried treasure! Students will need to use a protractor and a ruler to draw their vectors. When they are finished, they will draw a "shortcut" on the map. This will be the resultant vector and show the displacement of the ship. Students will also ge

Precalculus Full Year Long Course: Notes, Homework, Reviews, Answers
This bundle contains all of the resources you would need for a full year long precalculus course. This is based on a typical precalculus curriculum. This Precalculus course is designed to be taught in a class that meets daily for an entire school year. There are 151 days allotted to cover the 16 units (notes + review + test) contained in the course. This should leave a couple weeks of extra time to flex in extra work days, midterms, finals, or other days as needed. Of course some units could

Graph Paper for Trig Functions
This changes everything! Student work becomes more consistent. Your grading will be so much easier! Using the four aligned graphs makes translations of trig functions crystal clear. This file has 2 pages of coordinate planes for graphing trig functions.The first page contains four blank graphs per page. The axes are unlabeled so that students may select their own scale.The second page has five blank graphs per page and is set up for conducting transformations on the coordinate plane.Please see

Trigonometry Golf
I like to call this activity Putt-Putt-Geometry. It is 9 glorious holes of trigonometry application! This works great as a Trig unit project, end of year project, or test review (maybe 1 or 2 holes for review). The students can work in groups, pairs, or individuals. If your students are not proficient with Trig, or you have not covered it yet, each hole can be done using the Pythagorean Theorem instead - simply tweak the directions a bit. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine do!

John Adams HBO Series Episode 2 - "Independence" Video Graphic Organizer

These graphic organizers are printable handouts that students can use to record what they've learned about each president while watching the show.
Most students need time to process and think about what they are watching before writing it down. The graphic organizer format allows the students freedom to write down what they learn, and reduces the anxiety of "missing what the speaker said".

Sinusoids in Everyday Life - Applications of Sinusoidal Functions (w/Answer Key)
I am currently teaching trigonometry in my IB class, and I find it crucial that students be able to apply their knowledge of how to write equations of sine functions (e.g. y = a*sin(b(x-c))+d) to real-world problems.
I created problems based on windmills, AC household voltage, the motion of tides, and then I included a spiral review question requiring them to solve a trigonometric equation over a given domain.
Note: the motion of tides is not strictly based on a single sinusoid, but the exerci

Unit Circle Speed Relay Game - Trigonometry - Special Angles - with answer key
This is a game I use over several weeks in my trigonometry classes, to help students better recall the three trigonometric functions of all special angles on a unit circle in both degrees and radians.First, you’ll need to print off one half-sheet per student. Ask the students to stand in a circle (or at least a close enough approximation of a circle so that everybody can see everybody else at any given time). The teacher should also be part of the circle so that you, too, can see all of them a
