Composition of Trig Functions Leap Frog

As I was preparing to teach the concept of compositions of trig functions, I read this post on Math = Love. Sarah explained how to play the game of leap frog to help students practice finding the values of trig functions using the unit circle. When I looked at Sarah's answer bank for the activity, I knew that I could easily adapt it to the compositions of trig functions I wanted to practice with my students. 

The bulk of the work was putting together slides for the questions so I could switch to the next question with just a click. Now, I love all things Google, but there is no equation editor in Google Slides. So, I put all of the expressions in a Google Doc and then cut and pasted them into the Slides presentation. It was a lot of work, but I was happy with the end result. It was also a big hit in class, and by the end, the light bulb had turned on for the whole class for this concept. 

I did this in February, before Coronavirus sent us all home. Since we were together, I actually had them leave the answer cards behind and just move seats and use the answer cards that were at the next seat.  If we are together this coming school year for this, I may need students to carry their answer cards with them to whatever seat they are moving to to minimize sharing of supplies. 

So, here are my files:

Google slide with all of the questions, one per slide.

Google doc with all of the expressions together.
