This Trigonometric Functions lesson plan also includes:
From a circle to a cycle! The final lesson of a five-part series challenges learners to use points from the unit circle to plot a repeating pattern. The repeating patterns become the graphs of the trigonometric functions. Scholars also identify the characteristics of the functions such as period, frequency, and amplitude.
