This week in class we covered the Unit Circle - a huge building block for your students' trigonometric knowledge. This week's edition of the e-newsletter includes pictures of topics we have discussed, an interactive website that your student can use to aid them with homework or practicing their skills, and finally a video that ties their knowledge together in a fun way.

Things to know
We went over these in class this week. Make sure that your student knows them! If they are having trouble, please feel free to email me.
Sine, Cosine, and Tangent
Remind students about these three ideas.
Unit Circle
Encourage students to start memorizing this as soon as they can. Take little steps! It may seem daunting, but the ideas from this will be used even as far as college courses.
Pi
Have students explain what pi is to them and how it interacts with radians and the Unit Circle.
Interactive Unit Circle Website
Here's a link to a website where you can show your student an interactive unit circle if they need some more practice. (or if you want to see what they're learning about!)
Unit Circle Song
Here's a funny song to help review the unit circle with your student. I know it isn't a top Billboard #100 hit but it's catchy and helps reinforce ideas that the students need to know. (Plus it's an entertaining video which is always a bonus)
