Today JPaul and I practiced working on the unit circle to find reference angles and coterminal angles. We used the white board to draw an angle like 150 degrees. I asked JPaul how to get to that location going in the negative direction. JPaul tries to do a lot of math in his head. I encouraged him to do a quick sketch, so he could actually SEE what quadrant he was in, and how far he would need to go in the negative direction. He complied and realized that it WAS actually helpful to see it. Then we practiced finding the reference angles - the angles formed with the x-axis (which is what we will need to find in the next lesson).
