Trigonometry Learning Study Data from a Brazilian Teacher Course

Nine students from a Mathematics teacher course participated in a study investigating the transition from ratios to trigonometric functions. The research applied a Design Based Research methodology with activities based on historical development and national curriculum standards. Participants built tables and graphs of periodic functions, with two sketching the graph of the sine function.
