LESSON OBJECTIVES:
In this extension lesson, students will extend their knowledge of the unit circle to include complex
numbers. Students will explore Pythagorean Triples and the n complex roots of x n1=0. This lesson
corresponds with Common Core State Standards-The Complex Number System N-CN 5. (+) Represent
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and conjugation of complex numbers geometrically on the complex
plane; use properties of this representation for computation.
