Properties of Inverse Tangent and Cotangent Functions
Students will investigate the properties, graphs, and principal value branches of inverse tangent and cotangent functions.
Key Questions
- Explain the asymptotic behavior observed in the graphs of inverse tangent and cotangent functions.
- Differentiate the domain restrictions for arctan(x) and arccot(x).
- Construct a problem where understanding the principal value branch of arctan(x) is crucial.

Planning templates for Mathematics
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.
