Integrated Math III · Week 21 · Trigonometric Functions
The Unit Circle
Radians and the unit circle; returning to where you started, changed.
- Students will
- Students convert degrees to radians and find coordinates of key points on the unit circle.
- SEL skill
- Turn a pattern into a question and test it before deciding
- What it looks like
- Students practice curiosity by writing one question about a unit circle pattern and testing it.
- Content focus
- Radians and the unit circle
- Format
- Think write pair share
Self-awareness
Responsible decision-making means making caring, constructive choices, which starts with being curious and testing an idea before you decide it is true. More self-awareness activities
