EAL Support - Desmos offers a free suite of math software tools, including the Desmos Graphing Calculator and Scientific Calculator, as well as free digital classroom activities. Click on the globe in the tool bar to access the site in other languages.
RF03 - Students are not expected to obtain the sinusoidal equation from a graph or the graph from a sinusoidal equation without a graphing utility.
RF03 Students will be expected to represent data, using sinusoidal functions, to solve problems.
RF03.01 Demonstrate an understanding of angles expressed in degrees and radians.
RF03.02 Describe, orally and in written form, the characteristics of sinusoidal functions by analyzing their graphs.
RF03.03 Describe, orally and in written form, the characteristics of sinusoidal functions by analyzing their equations.
RF03.04 Match equations in a given set to their corresponding graphs.
RF03.05 Graph data and determine the sinusoidal function that best approximates the data.
RF03.06 Interpret the graph of a sinusoidal function that models a situation, and explain the reasoning. Solve, using technology, a contextual problem that involves data that is best represented by graphs of sinusoidal functions, and explain the reasoning
Additional Resources and Activities for RF03 (sinusoidal functions):
What is a Radian? video - A video of a GeoGebra dynamic geometry image showing how many radians there are in a circle.
Radians Activity - An activity for students to create a circle and then measure around the outside with a string to find the measure of a radian.
Polygraph Periodic Functions Desmos Activity - This Custom Polygraph is designed to spark vocabulary-rich conversations about periodic functions. Key vocabulary that may appear in student questions includes: period, cycle, amplitude, vertical, translation, and dilation.
Sine of a Ferris Wheel Desmos Activity - In this activity, students first explore the path of y-coordinate for different polygon Ferris wheels. Then student discover how changing the Ferris wheel changes the sine curve.
