Measuring Radians Activity Lab Download

This hands on activity introduces students to the definition of a radian by marking a radius along the circumference of a circle. Students would be able to do this activity at home. It may only take 20 minutes to complete during class. After completing the activity, students should discover how many degrees are in one radian as well as how many radians are in a 360 degree angle.
