SEMESTER 1
Unit 1 - Sequences
Unit 2 - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
Distance-Time Graphs
Create a graph of a runner's position versus time and watch the runner complete a 40-yard dash based on the graph you made. Notice the connection between the slope of the line and the speed of the runner. What will the runner do if the slope of the line is zero? What if the slope is negative? Add a second runner (a second graph) and connect real-world meaning to the intersection of two graphs.
Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs
Create a graph of a runner's position versus time and watch the runner run a 40-yard dash based on the graph you made. Notice the connection between the slope of the line and the velocity of the runner. Add a second runner (a second graph) and connect real-world meaning to the intersection of two graphs. Also experiment with a graph of velocity versus time for the runners, and also distance traveled versus time.
Unit 3 - Transformations, Compositions, and Inverses
Function Machines 2 (Functions, Tables, and Graphs)
Drop a number into a function machine, and see what number comes out! You can use one of the six pre-set function machines, or program your own function rule into one of the blank machines. Stack up to three function machines together. Input and output can be recorded in a table and on a graph.
Function Machines 3 (Functions and Problem Solving)
Drop a number into a function machine, and see what number comes out! You can use one of the six pre-set function machines, or program your own function rule into one of the blank machines. Stack up to three function machines together. Input and output can be recorded in a table and on a graph.
Unit 4 - Polynomial Functions
Unit 5 - Rational Functions
Unit 6 - Angles and The Unit Circle
Unit 7 - Trigonometric Graphs
Unit 8 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions and Trigonometric Equations
SEMESTER 2
Unit 9 - Trigonometric Identities and Equations
Unit 10 - Oblique Triangles and Area
Unit 11 - Conic Sections
Unit 12 - Polar Graphs
Unit 13 - Parametric Equations
Unit 14 - Vectors and Complex Numbers
Golf Range
Try to get a hole in one by adjusting the velocity and launch angle of a golf ball. Explore the physics of projectile motion in a frictional or ideal setting. Horizontal and vertical velocity vectors can be displayed, as well as the path of the ball. The height of the golfer and the force of gravity are also adjustable.
