How to Teach Graphing Sine and Cosine

⁠Watch this video if you struggle with how to teach graphing the sine and cosine functions. 

I will show you how to graph a specific cosine function step by step. 

This technique works with both sine and cosine functions and works with all transformations. 

After trying a few different ways to teach this topic over the years, this particular technique has been very successful for my students. Your students will like this, too!
