Trigonometry, Unit Circle Coordinates to Picture (Degrees)

Level 1

This topic focuses on the placement of points on the unit circle in the context of trigonometry. It specifically targets the ability to identify where given points with coordinates are located on the unit circle. Each problem presents a pair of Cartesian coordinates, which the student must use to select the correct diagram of the unit circle that accurately represents the given point location, expressed in degrees. The layouts challenge the student to interpret the trigonometric position of the points correctly. This forms part of an introductory unit on trigonometry and the unit circle.
