Unit Circle Projects 2020, Quarantine Edition!

Every year, my students create a unit circle project. It's all described here, in a previous blog post with lots of links to former projects as well. However, this year, due to COVID-19, the rules for the project was not to buy anything for the project itself (i.e., posterboard, markers, etc.), but to ONLY use what you have around the house. The results were amazing. I also normally don't allow baking for the projects, but this year, that was fine...and boy did I get some delicious looking projects! I clearly I have some artistic and creative students!

Here they are:

This student made the pizza from scratch!

The Unit Volcano "China Quarantine Edition" (my student is back in China.)

Student made unit circle through Mine Craft

Student programmed unit circle app through Khan Academy

Disclaimer: The projects below were from first semester and were NOT done during Quarantine...but I was saving these pictures to post all at the same time:

Which one(s) are your favorite?

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.
