Our last topic: Trigonometry

We have one more topic before we start reviewing for the final: Trigonometry. It is a topic that makes use of the fact that all similar triangles have the same angles.  We will be dealing with right triangles most of the time so the Special Right Triangles, the Pythagorean Theorem, and radicals will be important.

This unit is all worksheet based so all of the homework is to do/finish the worksheet

5/19  Radical Practice
5/20  No class do to schedule shift for MCAS
5/21  Math MCAS Day 1, class at 10:25am, Right Triangle Practice
5/22  Math MCAS Day 2, no class
5/23  US Hist. MCAS (juniors), class at 10:25am, Intro to Trigonometry

5/26  Memorial Day, no school
5/27  More practice plus finding angles using trig
5/28  More practice finding angles
5/30  Applications of trig (using it to solve word problems)

6/02  Trig Quiz

After this we will review for five class periods (including taking an old final).
