Description
This resource is a great exploration activity for Pre-Calc to introduce evaluating trig functions and a great transition to the Unit Circle. ASTC stands for All Students Take Calculus, or sometimes referred to as CAST.
It includes the following:
- Discovery activity where students plot the "same" coordinate in all 4 quadrants to write all 6 trig ratios (sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot).
- This can be used as a class activity, flipped classroom, independent activity after a quiz, etc.
- At the end, there is an opportunity to have a class discussion about what they discovered and you can create the ASTC poster with them.
An answer key is included.
Need notes on more trig? Additional resources are available in the store!
There is also a colorful poster in my TPT store that you can print out for students or print as a big poster for your classroom/word wall.
Enjoy!
