Unitcircle_2  This lesson allows students to examine trigonometric ratios on circles of varying radii, thereby discovering that these ratios remain constant regardless of the radius of the circle. Students will then construct a circle of radius 1 and compare the trigonometric ratios found earlier with the x and y coordinates of the point of intersection of the radius and circumference of the circle.  Contributed by Melody Thomas, Alabama.

Py This lesson develops the Pythagorean Theorem and the measurement of triangles.  It reinforces perfect squares and square roots.  It is important to know the values of squared numbers from 1 to 20, how to factor square roots by hand, and common square root values without a calculator.  The game here is to guess the hypotenuse by estimating with perfect squares. Common perfect square triangles are exploder, 3-4-5 and 5-12-13. Isosceles triangle 10 -10 – 14.14 illustrates factoring perfect squares and moving decimal places.

Unitcircle_3 This lesson develops the Unit circle of radius 1, x-axis and y-axis sketched on the unit circle and compares how these values are the solution to cosine and sine. The x coordinate of a hypotenuse of a right triangle on the unit circle is its cosine value. The y coordinate of the hypotenuse of a right triangle on a unit circle is its sine value.
