Unit Circle Project 2022-2023

 Here are the best projects from 2023 along with the instructions and links to prior years.

Algebra 2 and Precalculus Unit Circle Projects 2018

Every year, I  assign my Pre-Calculus and Algebra 2 Honors classes a Unit Circle Art project, which I got from Miss Rudolph. I loved her guidelines and rubric, and I have used it in my classes since 2016 and 2017. I don't have pictures of the projects I got prior as I probably wasn't blogging then. The toga really stands out from the student who graduated college last year! So I've been doing this a while, but Miss Rudolph really helped me with her rubric. I assign this as a 30 point project, and the top three win 1, 2, and 3 points extra credit. The winners are chosen by another teacher and sometimes his/her students. 

This year, the winner was the HQ-nit circle, a play on the trivia game HQ, which we try to play every so often in one of my classes. 

It was fun to tweet to @hqtrivia and get a ton of likes.

And then @ScottRogowsky, the host, posted on Instagram!

That was fun today...here are some other creative projects.

A Comprehensive Trig Formula Sheet

Here are some formula sheets that I have taken from the web over the years and put together for my personal use. I am not sure who each part is originally from. I googled today, but I don't see an originator. If you know, please let me know and I will update this blog.

This year, I color coded it a bit, but here is one that is not color coded and can be changed as necessary for your class.

I hand this out to students for a quick reference so they can see everything at once, but they are not allowed to use it on tests and quizzes.
