Students will use special right triangle relationships for 30° - 60° -90° or 45° - 45° - 90° triangles to find the first quadrant coordinate values. These values will then be reflected across the x- and y-axis to locate the coordinates in the remaining quadrants. Students will also convert the angle measurements from units in degrees to units in radians. They will become familiar with finding angles in the quadrants by using reference angles (π-x, π+x. 2π-x).

Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.
If the teacher does not have a PhET account, he/she can create a FREE account. (More information on how PhET works can be found at Getting Started.)

Overview
In this PhET activity, students explore the slope-intercept form of a line and connect the slope and y-intercept to the equation of the line. The learning goals for this activity will be to graph a line given an equation in slope-intercept form, write an equation in slope-intercept form given a graphed line, predict how changing the values in a linear equation will affect the graphed line, and predict how changing the graphed line will affect the equation. This activity can be used to help teach a lesson on graphing linear equations. This PheET activity can be downloaded and assigned to Google Classroom.

Overview
In this classroom resource from Desmos, students will build a visual understanding of amplitude, period, and phase shift with an introduction to trigonometric graphing. They can use this understanding to find models for given graphs of the sine function. The resource could also be used to help teach a lesson on trigonometric graphs. The resource includes sample student responses and a teacher's guide.

Comments or Notes
Desmos's mission is to help every student learn math and love learning math. Teachers can explore and enjoy Desmos collections of free digital math activities that include:
- Meaningful feedback by showing students what their answers mean, then give them the opportunity to improve their thinking and revise their work.
- Collaboration by using devices to connect students, not to isolate them. Students see their classmates' thinking. They ask each other questions and create challenges for each other.
- Invites students to solve challenging problems using the tools they already have.
If the teacher does not have an account, he/she will need to create a FREE account. (More information on how Desmos works can be found at Getting Started.)
Once the teacher has selected an activity to run, he/she will need to click on the "Create Class Code" button. This will generate a unique class code and a link to view the dashboard. (More information can be found at Creating a Class Code.) Every new activity will need a new class code in order to start a session. Students cannot start the activity until they have the class code - so sessions can be started days, hours, or mere minutes before you plan to run the activity. When the teacher is ready to have students start, have the students go to student.desmos.com and enter the class code. Although it is not required, Desmos strongly encourages students to sign in with their Desmos Student Account. Signing in allows students to resume and view their past activity work.
