(0)
This is a rainy kids themed practice or partner activity on operations with complex numbers. The problem pages/slides are five, as on each page/slide there are given nine complex numbers from z1 to z9. On page/slide 1 students have to find 10 wanted sums which are like z1+z5; z4+z9; z1+z2+z3;…, on page/slide 2 students calculate wanted differences which are like z8-z3; z2-z3-z6;…on page/slide 3 students are asked to compute 10 products, on page/slide 4 students have to find 10 quotients. On page/slide 5 students perform the indicated operations which are mixed operations like z8+z1/z2; z4z8-z7;…etc. There is provided a table with empty boxes on each page/slide where students can type their answers.

Operations with Complex Numbers - Cut and Paste Matching Game (fun and challenging)

(0)
This is a fun and challenging matching game called “Put my Hat on my Head”. It consists of 20 problems in which students practice simplifying expressions with complex numbers. The problems require adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing complex numbers. Seven of the problems require rationalizing the denominator. Nine of the problems require knowledge of powers of imaginary numbers. None of the problems require simplifying radicals. ( The problems are a bit more complicated than ordinary examples! ) Activity Directions: Students are asked to write each of 20 given expressions as a complex number in standard form. They are also given two pictures – one with men heads labeled with the letters of the problems and one with hats on which are written the answers. Students cut out the hats to “put” each hat “on the head” of the man it belongs to (match answers with problems). This activity can be completed individually or in pairs. Answer keys are included. I hope you and your students enjoy!

Trigonometric Equations of QUADRATIC TYPE - True Math Story - Multiple-Choice Test
nikimathnikimath

Trigonometric Equations of QUADRATIC TYPE - True Math Story - Multiple-Choice Test

(0)
This activity practices solving trigonometric equations of quadratic type. It includes multiple - choice with twelve equations and a brief story about the history of trigonometry to be completed. The equations require the use of Pythagorean, reciprocal, quotient, double angle identities and the quadratic formula. Problems range in difficulty. Activity Directions: Students must solve all the problems and find specific solutions. The answers they get will give them pieces of a brief story about history of trigonometry. Studying the history of trigonometry will throw light on the nature of the discipline. It will help students gain a deeper understanding of the trigonometry they have already studied by seeing how it was developed over time. Recording sheets are provided for students to show all work. An answer key is included. This activity can be used as individual practice, as a partner activity (each partner will get a sheet that has only six equations to solve) or in small groups of 3. It could also be used as an assessment.
BASIC Trigonometric Equations - Partner Activity "Make Compound Words"
nikimathnikimath

BASIC Trigonometric Equations - Partner Activity "Make Compound Words"

(0)
This activity practices solving basic trigonometric equations. Students must find their primary solutions in the specific interval (0 ; 2π] and give answers in radian form. The process of solving involves only the use of the reciprocal identities and algebraic manipulation (such as collecting like terms) to isolate the trigonometric function on one side of the equation. Partners will each have their own set of fourteen equations. All the equations are well thought so the solutions of each equation on the specified interval are only two. The amusing part of this activity is creating compound words corresponding to each solution set of the trigonometric equations given. Partner A’ s equations are equivalent to partner B’ s equations, so the compound words made by one partner will be the same as the words made by the other partner. Thus, partners will be satisfied to know that they both have worked correctly and will be encouraged to collaborate. Activity Directions: Partners start solving individually their own problems. Once they have found the solution set of each equation, they are given two tables to use. There is a word corresponding to each radian written in table 1 . Using this table, students find which two words correspond to each solution set of their equations and make compound words. They record the solution set of each trigonometric equation and write down the compound word corresponding to it in table 2 . Students show detailed solutions on student recording sheets specially designed for this activity or they can solve the problems on a separate sheet of notebook paper. All answer keys are included.
