Conversion between Degrees and Radians: Clock Angles and Measures

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Conversion between Degrees and Radians: Clock Angles and Measures interactive also includes:
  • Examples: Converting Angles in Degree Measure to Radian Measure
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

It's 3:30, what radian is it? Pupils create clock angles on a clock and determine the radian measure to the minute hand. They then use a conversion factor to convert from one measurement to another.
