Unit Circle Hop

Movement-based Unit Circle Games and Activities

What’s the best way to learn the unit circle? Kinesthetically! Our Unit Circle Hop makes math practice fun, energetic, and engaging. With this large-scale labeled unit circle, you can bring movement-based unit circle games and activities to your classroom.

Our Unit Circle Hop floor mat features a completely labeled unit circle from 0° to 360°. The mat also includes cartesian coordinates along the X and Y axis, with the points (0,1), (-1,0), (0,-1), and (1,0) labeled. With its large size, fun colors, and easy-to-read text, this hop mat is sure to keep young mathematicians visually engaged.

At a size of 5ft by 5ft, this mat has ample space for multiple students to interact on it at one time. Promote a collaborative learning environment and make your unit circle activity larger than life!

Above all, kids learn best while they are moving. Physical activity boosts learning comprehension and improves memory retention. Therefore, understanding the unit circle and memorizing reference angles will come easily to your students.

Young children never like to sit still for long. Encourage stepping, hopping, crawling, and tracing while playing unit circle games! Students can be active and have fun while gaining new knowledge.

As a result of moving their bodies on this mat, students will have a better understanding of angles, the coordinate plane, and a circle’s shape, diameter, and circumference. Furthermore, you can practice more advanced topics including finding pi and recognizing complementary and supplementary angles. Students will be well prepared to learn trigonometric functions.

Sample Activity: Adding Angles

• Have the student stand on the 30° point on the circle.
• Ask the student to add 15°. What angle is 30° plus 15°?
• Repeat the exercise adding on 30° and then 60°.
• Continue the activity by having the student stand on other points and add or subtract other angle values.
