Functional Analysis
Students perform functional analysis. For this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.
Curated OER
Radian Measure
Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus lesson. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians measurements.

Arithmetic Complex Numbers
Students convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor theorem.
Curated OER
Identities and Trigonometric Values
Students solve trigonometric equations. In this precalculus lesson plan, students prove trigonometric identities using the Pythagorean Theorem. They apply the addition formulas for sine and cosine to prove different identities.
Curated OER
Linear Equations and Matrices
Learners solve systems of equations. In this precalculus lesson plan,students solve linear equations using matrices. They use the Gaussian elimination method to identify the missing variables and simplify the linear equations.
