Description

This Unit Circle Project is the perfect way to teach the unit circle to your high school math students in a fun creative way. Not only will students walk away with a better understanding of special right triangles and angle relationships after completing the unit circle project, but you'll also be able to decorate your classroom with their artistic ideas. Your administrators and parents will love seeing the artistic aspect of this unit circle math project.

Instead of giving students the unit circle to memorize, it’ll be more meaningful for your students to see how the unit circle comes about and why the coordinates are what they are. This unit circle project is meant to help students in both remembering the unit circle and understanding it. There are 2 worksheets included in this project: Unit Circle Project Background Information and The Unit Circle. The first can be done whole class as a way to introduce the lesson/project. The second can be done as part of the project or you can even use it as a QUIZ after students complete the project.

Give each student a Unit Circle Project Directions worksheet. I assign this project independently. It’s quite easy to grade with a print and use rubric that's included. Since the unit circle rubric is out of 10 possible points, you can easily convert to a percent and assign a letter grade. Ask students to attach the rubric to the back of the project for your convenience. You can even ask them to grade each other’s work.

Included in the Unit Circle Project:

  • Unit Circle Background Information Worksheet with Answer Key
  • Unit Circle Practice Worksheet or Quiz (depending on how you use it) with Answer Key - students must find all six trig functions for 8 points on the unit circle
  • Unit Circle Project Directions
  • Grading Rubric - print ready; 2 per sheet
  • Unit Circle Project Examples
  • Blog post teaching you step by step how to teach the Unit Circle

I loved this activity. I used it as our last project in Algebra 2. It was a great way to introduce the unit circle and get them used to seeing the sine and cosines on the unit circle.
