Integrals of Trigonometric Functions
Students learn to integrate sine, cosine, and other trigonometric functions, often using u-substitution.
Key Questions
- Explain the relationship between the derivative and integral of trigonometric functions.
- Apply u-substitution to integrate more complex trigonometric expressions.
- Construct an integral that results in an inverse trigonometric function.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
