Illustrative Mathematics: F Tf, G Co, Trigonometric Identities and Rigid Motions
The purpose of this task is to apply translations and reflections to the graphs of the functions f(x)=cos x and g(x)=sin x in order to derive some trigonometric identities. There are also rotations 180 degrees about points on the x-axis...

Illustrative Mathematics: F Tf Trig Functions and the Unit Circle
The purpose of this task is to help students make the connection between the graphs of sin t and cos t and the x and y coordinates of points moving around the unit circle. Students have to match coordinates of points on the graph with...

Illustrative Mathematics: F Tf Properties of Trigonometric Functions
The goal of this task is to use the unit circle and rigid transformations in order to establish some fundamental trigonometric function identities. Aligns with F-TF.A.2 and F-TF.A.4.

Mathigon: Geometry: Circle and Pi: Degrees and Radians
Rather than dividing a circle into some number of segments (like 360 degrees), mathematicians often prefer to measure angles using the circumference of a unit circle - a circle with radius 1. This way of measuring angles is called...
