The rest of Unit 3: Trigonometry

The unit is complete. Now we review for the test of the whole thing. Think about which quizzes were the most difficult for you and make sure you work to understand that material for the test. Remember that I want you to understand so ask for help when you need it.

1/16  Martin Luther King Day, no school
1/18  Review 3.1  p.76-77
1/19  Review 3.2  p.78-79

1/26  Test of Trigonometry (Unit 3)

The term ends on 1/20. We will discuss whether the test will count for term 2 or term 3.

3.4 Sinusoids

Sinusoids are one of the most common applications trig functions. We will spend all of the time leading up to vacation and then a few days afterwards on this section before the quiz. The quiz is followed by a huge review and a test of the whole unit.

12/16  The London Eye  p.57 - 62 (problem 1c)

3.3 The Unit Circle

We begin looking at trig when it is not specifically built using triangles. We are also going to learn about radians, a more "metric" way of giving the measure of an angle than degrees. Radians are what most of advanced math and science use.

12/05  The Unit Circle  p.37-40
12/07  The Unit Circle Computer Lab p.41-44
12/08  Day 2 of the Unit Circle Computer Lab p.41-44
12/09  Radians  p.45-48
12/12  Applications of Radians  p.49-52

12/14  Radians with Trig Functions, Review  p.53-54
12/15  3.3 Quiz  

Looking ahead:
12/24 - 1/4 Christmas Break
