This resource contains two interactive excel files dealing with the graphs of trigonometric functions.

Trigonometry: X=cos, Y=sin...

This short task contains two questions on applying trigonometry.

The topics covered are:

• Linking sine, cosine and tangent
• Using Pythagoras to determine a length in a triangle and then give the tangent of an angle in surd form
• Using the Pythagorean identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1...

This resource contains twelve problems requiring students to explore the properties of the functions of sine, cosine and tangent. Students explain which is the odd one out, state which functions can be represented by which graph, devise questions which give a certain set of solutions and state whether statements...

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of trigonometry, often used in the field of engineering. They include the trigonometric ratios, using Pythagoras’ theorem and working with the sine and cosine rules.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for each resource are provided, together...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of trigonometry and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include the trigonometric ratios, using Pythagoras’ theorem, cosecant,...

This RISP activity gives students four properties - one side is 3cm, one angle is 90 degrees, one side is 4cm and one angle is thirty degrees. Students are required to find as many triangles as they can which contain any three of these four properties. Once the triangles have been found, students are asked to find...

This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains five resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Trigonometry'. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student interaction. The topics...

The first of two RISP activities, Radians and Degrees, students are set the task of finding an angle whose sine value is the same whether measured in radians or degrees....

This collection of interactive excel sheets looks at a circle of radius 1 and the corresponding values generated for cosθ and sinθ.

The first interactive sheet illustrates that for the unit circle, X = cosθ and Y =...

This book is part of the Archive Collection which is available to view at the National STEM Learning Centre.

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation shows how, when placing triominoes onto a chessboard, there is always one empty square. An algebraic proof is developed to show that the empty square will always appear in the same location, or in one of...

This poster illustrates how expertise from designers, engineers and technologists is used to design and manufacture an innovative snowboard. It helps to illustrate how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities.

Tunnelworks is a series of teaching and learning resources linking mathematics and science to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, a major new sewer that will help protect the River Thames from increasing pollution. Background to the project is given in the...
