I have never seen this before, but one of the courses I have to develop curriculum for includes high school level trigonometry, and I am pretty fucking convinced that for learners (especially with LDs in math), the τ circle constant is conceptually easier to understand. The page is absolutely correct that showing a new learner the special angles with τ is a much simpler point of entry than the special angles relative to π (Figures 8 and 10).
Thanks for sharing!
A class full of young tauists sounds sick and I fully agree that it's conceptually much easier (simply by virtue of being the trivial definition). In application however pi still reigns supreme, so if they use calculators for instance there will be a constant translation effort (remember to multiply with 2, or was it halve it??) that could be frustrating.
You have the coolest job ever though much props
