Geogebra Applets
| Applet | Description/Questions |
|---|---|
| This is an applet to help people discover transformations by changing coeffients within the Sine Function. As you walk through it, answer these questions: 1. What does changes in A do to the function? 2. What does changes in B do to the funciton? 3. How does this compare to the reference function? What numbers will be the same as the reference function? | |
| This is an applet to help others understand how the unit circle relates to the Sine and Cosine Functions. As you explore toggle on and off each curve. Use the play button to animate the applet. | |
| Use these questions to guide your thought process and exploration: 1. What base is the original number in? 2. Why do we use different bases? 3. How can these bases effect what I know in mathematics? |
Desmos Activities
| Rate of Change Activity | This activity will allow students remember and get practice understanding the average rate of change for a linear equation |
