Unit circle and the sine curve

SpaceDraft

Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹
I'm a math teacher experimenting with visual tools to make abstract concepts clearer for students. I recently built a SpaceDraft that helps students see how the sine curve is built from the unit circle β€” and I've had great feedback from my Year 10–11 and IB learners so far.

πŸ” What it does:

  • Animates a point moving around the unit circle
  • Shows how the y-coordinate (sin ΞΈ) is traced onto a graph
  • Links angles in degrees and radians
  • Builds the sine wave live, step-by-step

πŸ“Š It's a dynamic, scene-based visualization β€” perfect for visual learners, flipped classrooms, or as a revision tool before trigonometry tests.

πŸ’¬ I'd love any feedback or ideas to improve it, and happy to share how I structured the scenes and pins if anyone's curious!
