Round and Round We Go
Connect the dots on trigonometry with K'nex. Scholars use a K'nex model of a Ferris wheel to collect data points to plot on a height versus time graph. They'll then consider what type of function best models the data in the graph—and...

Mathigon: Geometry: Circle and Pi: Degrees and Radians
Rather than dividing a circle into some number of segments (like 360 degrees), mathematicians often prefer to measure angles using the circumference of a unit circle - a circle with radius 1. This way of measuring angles is called...

Ck 12: Algebra Ii: 4.4 Radians
This section introduces radians an alternative to degrees as a way to measure the rotation around a circle. It also begins to draw connections between radians and trigonometric identities.

Ck 12: Algebra Ii: 4.3 the Unit Circle
Activities in this lesson explore how to identify the coordinates where special right triangles intersect with the unit circle in all four quadrants, use both degrees and radians to identify angles, and explore angles of different sizes...
