Snow Day Unit Circles

Thanks to Sam, Nicki, and AJ for the unit circle snow pictures!

Happy snow day!

 Just in case you're looking for something to do on this cold, snowy day....

1.  Go here and practice some trig values.  Remember, our quiz will be sometime before break!
2.  Or you can go here and practice.
3.  Complete the following worksheet.  If you don't have a printer (or don't want to print it) that's fine... do the problems on a separate page and complete the phrase at the bottom.  I had to do some editing, so hopefully I didn't mess it up!
4.  Or.... if you're dying for an excuse to get outside, construct a unit circle in the snow (no yellow snow, please!).  Take a picture and e-mail it to me. :)
5.  Either e-mail me or leave a comment on this post by 10 PM saying that you've seen the EC opportunity.  If you don't do this, you won't get the points!  Answers are due when you walk into the classroom tomorrow (if you choose the worksheet route).

Also, don't forget about the Wolfram Demonstration project!  This would be a good time to check them out and decide which two you'd like to use.  Scroll down a couple of posts to find the place where you can tell me which you've chosen (or there's a link on progressbook to it, too).

Flashcards

If you want some extra practice with your unit circle ordered pairs, check out these flashcards or go old-school and make your own!

You'll need to know these values so we can use them in the other 3 quadrants!

Happy 2-hour delay!

I hope you all heard that you don't have to get up quite as early as you normally do!  (And maybe not at all!)

Just wanted to let you know that I'm working on your next project....   If we end up not having school tomorrow I'll go ahead and post it.  Otherwise, I'll just leave you in suspense. :)

Be careful on your drive in!

Trig/Unit Circle Stuff

This resource has all of the basic trig/unit circle ideas that we'll be talking about.  It would be a great thing to print out and put in your notebook!

(This one will be helpful later if you're thinking ahead!)

Here's a copy of the filled-out unit circle if you'd like to check yours or (heaven forbid) you lost it!
