AP Precalculus Standard Addressed

This graphing polar coordinates activity is designed for AP Precalculus students working on topic 3.13 (Trigonometry and Polar Coordinates).

According to College Board’s Course and Exam Description, students are expected to “Determine the location of
a point in the plane using both rectangular and polar
coordinates.”

This activity includes polar coordinates with both positive and negative angles as well as positive and negative radii. All angles are given in radians since degrees are not used in AP Precalculus.

Polar Graphing Worksheet Instructions

Connect the points in order with straight line segments as you graph each polar coordinate (r, theta) on the provided polar grid.

Each polar graphing worksheet will result in a different mystery animal picture.
