Parametrizing the Unit Circle
Activity Overview
The purpose of this activity is to use parametric equations to "unwrap" the unit circle. This process will allow students to obtain the graph of the function y = sin(x).
About the Lesson
Through an interactive tns document, students will “unwrap” the unit circle to obtain the graph of the function y = sin(x)
