In this circles worksheet, students construct circles and determine the distance of its diameter. They explore the methods to construct inscribed and circumscribed figures. This one-page worksheet contains 5 multiple-choice problems.
Learners solve problems with circles and their properties. In this geometry lesson plan, students calcualte the diameter, radius, circumference and area of a circle. They identify the secant and tangent lines. They find the measurements of the chords.
Students use Geometer's Sketchpad or Patty Paper Geometry to explore and write conjectures about chords, tangents, arcs and angles. In this geometric conjecture lesson, students examine what a conjecture is as it relates to geometric properties. Students explore central angles and inscribed angles while writing conjectures about the relationship between the measure of these angles.
Students relate the trigonometric functions to the coordinates of the unit circle with access to explorelearning.com. They determine the signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant.
Learners identify tangents, chords and secants. In this geometry lesson, students graph circles and identify angles created by secant lines, tangent lines and chords.
In this circles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 13 various types of problems. First, they solve each set of triangles for the given variable. Then, students name a radius, a diameter, a tangent, a secant, a point of tangency, and a chord in the circles shown.
In this tangent lines worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 13 various types of problems. First, they solve the right triangles for the variables shown. Then, students name a radius, a diameter, a tangent, a secant, a point of tangency and a chord in the circle illustrated.
Students play a game based on the unit circle used in trigonometry. In this instructional activity on the unit circle, students draw a card a perform a given task including measuring degrees, radians, locating coordinates and finding the value of various functions.
Students match points on a unit circle to corresponding angles. For this geometry lesson, students evaluate the six trigonometric values and their angles. Students convert between degrees and radians and find the Cartesian equivalent coordinates.
Students apply the properties of trigonometric ratios to solve problems. In this calculus instructional activity, students apply the ratios of sine, cosine and tangent as they solve problems with vectors.
