Awkward! Who Chose the Number 360, Anyway?
Don't give your classes the third degree. Use radians instead! While working with degrees, learners find that they are not efficient and explore radians as an alternative. They convert between the two measures and use radians with the...
Curated OER
Radian Measure
Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus instructional activity. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians...
Curated OER
Radians, Arc Length, and the Area of a Sector
In this college level geometry worksheet, students convert between degrees and radians. Students determine arc length and solve problems involving the area of a sector. The four page worksheet contains seventy-four problems. Answers...
Curated OER
Electric Hoist Problem
Young scholars convert angle measures between degrees and radians. They are given a copy of the task sheet with a graphic to help describe the situation. Pupils review the angle and arc relationship in a circle related to length of the...
Curated OER
Trigonometry
Young scholars investigate angles converting them from radians to degrees. In this trigonometry lesson, students work with angles and the six different trig ratios. They graph the functions representing each trig functions and identify...
Curated OER
NIGHT AND DAY: DAILY CYCLES IN SOLAR RADIATION
Students examine how Earth's rotation causes daily cycles in solar energy using a microset of satellite data to investigate the Earth's daily radiation budget and locating map locations using latitude and longitude coordinates.

Unit Circle: Special Angles—Just Know One
It's all about the patterns! Young scholars learn that the unit circle repeats itself in all four quadrants. Using these patterns, they evaluate the sine, cosine, and tangent of special angles.
Curated OER
Arc Length Lesson
Learners find the length of the arc of a circle. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of an arc and find the measure of the central angle given the length of the arc. They convert between linear and angular speed. They...
Curated OER
Arc Measurement Based on The Measurement of a Central Angle
Students define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.
Curated OER
Measurement of a Central Angle
Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.
