Unit Circle Project

Directions: You must construct a unit circle with all appropriate trigonometric values
labeled. You should use a ruler, protractor, and compass to accurately construct all
circles, angles, and line segments. You should include all the basic sine, cosine, and
tangent values over the interval [0, 360). Your unit circle should be creative and
colorful but also accurate and useful.
You may use plain, unlined computer paper/construction paper/poster board. You
may use crayons, pens, colored pencils, markers, paint, or any other appropriate
utensils.

You should use a ruler, protractor and compass to accurately construct the
circle, its angles, and its line segments.
You should include all special angles over the interval [0, 360) - these were
the angles introduced in class.
Your special angles should be labeled in both degrees and radians.
You should include the trigonometric values for sine, cosine, and tangent of
each special angle. You may use an ordered pair for sine and cosine
(optional).
You should include the signs for the basic trigonometric values in each
quadrant (A.S.T.C.).
Your unit circle should be accurate as well as creative and colorful and should
demonstrate thought and effort.
