One of the major things I took from this activity was that I now understand the unit circle much better. It is also easier for me to figure out the tangent because I know that it is the slope of the line. I now understand how sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant are connected. This activity helped me memorize the 30'60'90' and 45'45'90 triangles, so it is now easier to figure out the answer to the function. When Mr. Cresswell didn't affrim my reasoning it made me feel like I was wrong. Especially when the spot on unit circle was an uncommon spot.
