Learning Plan: Scope and Sequence Differentiation

The unit is on circles, arc angles, arc All students with eligible requirements will
lengths, inscribed angles, chords, sector receive any and all necessary assistances as
area, and tangent lines. applicable.

-Arc angles and arc lengths and the

relationship they have with radius. Angles
help explain lengths. The different types of
chords in a circle including the radius.
-Sector area and its relationship with the
radius and the arc length. This will include
a basic understanding of the unit circle.
-Inscribed angles and their relation to arc
angles.
-Circle equation analyses for creating a
circle on a coordinate plane.
-Tangent lines, their purpose and
correlation with radius.
