Module 2 builds on students' previous work with units and with functions from Algebra I, and with trigonometric ratios and circles from high school Geometry. The heart of the module is the study of precise definitions of sine and cosine (as well as tangent and the co-functions) using transformational geometry from high school Geometry. This precision leads to a discussion of a mathematically natural unit of rotational measure, a radian, and students begin to build fluency with the values of the trigonometric functions in terms of radians. Students graph sinusoidal and other trigonometric functions, and use the graphs to help in modeling and discovering properties of trigonometric functions. The study of the properties culminates in the proof of the Pythagorean identity and other trigonometric identities.

Students explore the concept of similar right triangles and how they apply to trigonometric ratios. Use this lesson as a refresher of what trig ratios are and how they work. In addition to trigonometry, students explore a clinometer app on an Android® or iOS® device and how it can be used to test the mathematics underpinning trigonometry. This prepares student for the associated activity, during which groups each put a clinometer through its paces to better understand trigonometry.

Students investigate the relationships between angles and side lengths in right triangles with the help of materials found in the classroom and a mobile device. Using all or part of a meter stick or dowel and text books or other supplies, students build right triangles and measure the angles using a clinometer application on an Android® (phone or tablet) or iOS® device (iPhone® or iPad®). Then they are challenged to create a triangle with a given side length and one angle. The electronic device is used to measure the accuracy of their constructions.

In this demonstration, students experience the Doppler effect for sound. Students can compute the frequency change for motion along the line of sight (LOS) and determine the vector LOS component for motions not exactly on it. A buzzer, battery, bicycle wheel, string and a rubber ball and a timer are needed for the demonstration. The resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.

El módulo 2 se basa en el trabajo previo de los estudiantes con unidades y con funciones del álgebra I, y con relaciones y círculos trigonométricos de la geometría de la escuela secundaria. El corazón del módulo es el estudio de definiciones precisas de seno y coseno (así como tangente y las cofunciones) utilizando geometría transformacional de la geometría de la escuela secundaria. Esta precisión lleva a una discusión de una unidad matemáticamente natural de medida rotacional, un radian, y los estudiantes comienzan a desarrollar fluidez con los valores de las funciones trigonométricas en términos de radianes. Los estudiantes grafican funciones trigonométricas sinusoidales y otras, y usan los gráficos para ayudar a modelar y descubrir propiedades de las funciones trigonométricas. El estudio de las propiedades culmina en la prueba de la identidad pitagórica y otras identidades trigonométricas.
