Introduction
Hi students, today you will begin converting degree measures to radian measures and visa versa. Take notes as you go and be prepared to ask questions and continue on Thursday.
To begin learning click on "Task" in the navigation bar.
Task
What will you accomplish?
By the end of the webquest you should know:
- The relationship between radians and degrees
- How to convert between degrees and radians
- General information about the Unit Circle
Process
Make sure you take notes as you go - I will not be going over this information in class!
You will be visiting several websites which have practice embedded so you can check yourself along the way.
Go to Mathisfun - Degrees (click the link) and read all about angles and their measures.
- Take notes as you go!
- Explore all the tabs click on all the links to get info.
- Try the pracitce problems at the bottom of the website to test yourself.
Go to Mathisfun - Radians (click the link) to learn about radians and how to convert from degrees to radians.
- Take notes as you go!
- Explore all the tabs click on all the links to get info.
- Try the practice problems at the bottom of the website to test yourself.
Go to Mathisfun - Unit Circle (click the link) to learn about radians and degrees of the Unit Circle.
- Explore the circle just for general information, look at "Degrees" and "Radians"
Go to MyMathLab, click on Multimedia Library to investigate 5.1 a little more about radians and how to convert between degrees and radians.
- Watch the animations
- Watch the Video Lecture
- Check out the PowerPoint
- Try the homework problems for 5.1
If you need more information you can go to Khan Academy (click the link) or your textbook "View an Example" and "Help me Solve".
Done! We'll use your knowledge of to jump in next class!
