Scavenger Hunt: Evaluating Trigonometric Functions on the Unit Circle

This scavenger hunt has 15 problems in which students will evaluate trigonometric functions at any angle. This can be used with a unit circle or without. Print out the 15 problems and place them around your room. Give each student an answer worksheet and assign them a place to start. You can do this individually or in pairs. The answer they get will lead them to their next problem. They continue looping around until they have completed all 15 stations or time is called. This activity is great for differentiation since each student can work at their own pace and get done whatever they have time to do.

All six trigonometric functions are used (sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent). Angles are given in degrees or radians.

A worksheet is included for them to sketch the angles on and show their work as well as a small slip of paper that they can just turn their answers in on (in the correct order).
