Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(4)
In this 4-class series, we will break down the unit circle in simple terms and get students to learn how to solve trigonometric problems on the unit circle.
Class experience
US Grade 11 - 12
Intermediate Level
How to solve trigonometric ratios (e.g. sine, cosine, tangent) of angles around the unit circle by forming right triangles with 1 as the hypotenuse will be taught. Topics: 1st Class: Review of basic trigonometric ratios, angles around the unit circle in degrees, angles around the unit circle in radians, converting between degrees and radians, 2nd Class: Reciprocal trigonometric ratios, deriving the trigonometric ratios of "special angles" (30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degree), difference...
To ensure effective tutoring, the teacher suggests meeting 2x per week. Book additional recurring meetings after the initial purchase.Students will learn how to do trigonometry on the unit circle. They will learn the difference between angles in standard position and reference angles. They will understand and use the CAST rule. Learners will be able to calculate all the trigonometric ratios of all multiples of the "special angles" in both exact and approximate form for angles in both degrees and radians.
I have over 15 years experience teaching the "Unit Circle"
Homework Offered
Homework will be assigned problems based on class topic of the day. It will be assigned after every class so that learners can reinforce their skills between classes. Students will verify homework completion by video. Answers will be given at the beginning of every class for the student to check for correctness.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Summative assessment by short test during the last 30 minutes of the final class in the 4-class series. Required for all students.Grades Offered
Strong familiarity with the basic trigonometric ratios (i.e. sin, cos, tan) and know how to solve problem types using a calculator. Being able to simplify radicals, including rationalizing the denominator, is strongly recommended.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
IXL Learning website may be used to glean some practice problems. No account required. Desmos is a graphing website that may be used. No account required. Mathsisfun website will be used to illustrate properties and to "interact" with the unit circle. No account required.
We will be using the "interactive unit circle" and some other material from the "mathsisfun" website.
