Basic Trigonometric Identities from Graphs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Have young mathematicians create new identities! They explore the even/odd, cofunction, and periodicity identities through an analysis of tables and graph. Next, learners discover the relationships while strengthening their understanding of the functions.

Instructional Ideas
  • Create collaborative groups and allow classes to work through the activities independently
  • Have learners start a record of the trigonometric identities studied
Classroom Considerations
  • Class members should have a strong understanding of the graph of a sine and cosine function
  • The 10th in a series of 19 lessons
Pros
  • Uses questioning techniques to lead learners to conclusions
  • Provides scaffolding instructions to differentiate
Cons
  • None
