Opener
1. First Hour - Graphing a cosine graph from the work packet
2. Second Hour - Given transformation, find equation leading into new lesson
Class
First Hour
Warmup Question: Graph y = cos(2(x )) (10 min)
2
MiniLesson: Say out loud, These are notes you should be writing down (10 min)
Sine starts at midline
Cosine starts at max (if positive), starts at min (if negative)
Midline Max = Amplitude. Amplitude is always positive
Max Min = Range of possible values
Vertical shift means I move the midline Create new dashed line for midline
Phase shift means I move the vertical starting line Create new dashed line for starting
Start Graph from that vertical starting line, then calculate one period from there
Ex: y = cos(2(x )) (Warm up question)
2
Ex: y = sin(x ) + 1
Practice: (10 min)
Moving dashed lines of midline (horizontal) and starting line (vertical)
y = 2cos(2x + ) 1
Review: (10 min)
Reminder: dividing fractions for every time: fraction/fraction means you flip and multiply
across
Side practice of dividing fractions

Practice: (10 min)
More practice graphing, setting up dashed lines
y = sin(2x) + 1
y = cos( 31 x + ) 2
Exit Ticket: Graphing changes (10 min)
Just bottom page, cut in half
BREAK (10 min)
Second Hour
Warmup Question Sine wave with following changes, find the equation:(10 min)
Amplitude =
Period = /2
Phase Shift = /2 to the left
Vertical Shift = down 3
Review/Lesson: (10 min)
Review Warmup question
How to go from period to finding B 2/B = Period. Solve for B, or guess what you think
can go in for B based on what youve done before
Shift up means + on end, Shift down means on end
Shift right means inside of sine, shift left means + inside of sine
Practice: (15 min)
Few more examples: sine wave
1. Reflection over xaxis, Period = 3, Shift down 1
2. Amplitude of 2, Period = /4, Shift left /2, Shift up 2.5
