Abstract
In this article, we will discuss using GeoGebra to present and connect multiple representations. The purpose of the activities shared is to help students reflect on the consequences of different units when graphing trigonometric functions. Specifically, the activity should help students compare the consequences, with respect to the rate of change, of using radians or degrees when graphing trigonometric functions.
Keywords: Degrees, radians, multiple representations, trigonometry
