Angles in a Full Circle

Three angles meet at an arc ... have you heard that one before? The resource contains a diagram with a circle and three angles that intersect the circle at the same points. Pupils determine the type of each angle and its measurement,...

How long does it take spacecraft go around the earth? Using the circular orbits of the space shuttle and the International Space Station, groups determine the distance traveled in one revolution, then calculate the distance traveled...

Three letter-sized mini posters can be displayed in your elementary geometry class when teaching about angles. One provides information about degree measurement and additive properties, and the other two define acute, right, obtuse,...

We know theorems about circles—now what? Class members prove a theorem, with half the class taking the case where a point is inside the circle and half the class taking the case where a point is outside the circle. The lesson then...

Circle the angles and intercept the arcs. The video introduces three theorems relating to inscribed angles in circles. Using drawings, the segment of a playlist on geometry illustrates the measure of angle along with theorems about two...

A steal of a deal — get four angles for the value of one. An interactive resource allows individuals to visualize all four angles that have the same reference angle. Pupils answer questions by using the interactive to create the...

If angles intercept the same arc, the angles must be the same size. The quick video talks through the proof of showing the reason two inscribed angles that intersect the same arc have the same measurement. Pupils then create their own...

Young mathematicians observe a geometric proof using a short video. They see each part of the diagram clearly labeled and the simple math written off to the side. The new knowledge helps them solve additional problems independently.

Take a terminal side for a spin. Pupils use an interactive to investigate angles of rotation that share the same terminal side. Scholars create coterminal angles and calculate what other angle sizes share the same final position.

Your young trigonometry learners will analyze and discover the many valuable relationships on the Unit Circle in this very rich collaborative task. Using co-terminal and reference angles in degrees and radians, learners find and label...
