These are some of the activities that we will explore using Geogebra:

Activity 1: Gold Medal Heights

Using Geogebra to model a data set.

Activity 2: Investigating the Derivative of the sine function Using Geogebra to investigate the derivative of the sine function. This Geogebra files shows the tangent to aSin(x) and traces the value of it's slope.

Activity 3: Curve Sketching This activity explores relationships between a graph and its first and second derivatives.

Activity 4: The Unit Circle

This activity explores the development of the circular functions from the unit circle.

Activity 5: Volumes of Revolution using Geogebra and Autograph

This activity explores the concept of a solid formed by revolving a region under a graph around the x-axis. It uses the software Geogebra and Autograph.
