In my classroom, my students first perform a Polar Graphs Investigation. This helps them explore the graphs of the polar equations they [...]

The material you see below is borrowed heavily from Yosh's Graphing Polar Equations part 1, part 2, and part 3. I have included a link to the Word document instead of a pdf of the [...]
