Activity – Unit Circle & Motion Placement
Concept Attainment
Build conceptual understanding of the unit circle, connect user motion to circular paths, and identify key angles in degrees and radians.
○ MODEL
◆ PATTERN
◆ REPRESENT
★ DESIGN
Watch a short animation or video of a person doing something.
Use a blank unit circle diagram to:
Label 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, 360° on the solid lines in the circle and their radian equivalents on the dashed lines.
Use one of the clips below. Mark a user’s motion estimate (e.g., “Brushing = ~120°”) on the circle.
