Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Intermediate Level
This course is intended to give students an opportunity to learn about the concept trigonometry and how it extends beyond simple right triangles. The course is intended to be an extension of the basic right triangle trigonometry that students learn in geometry, so learners should have completed a full geometry course prior to this one.

Although we will have a set amount of content to cover each class, the class dynamics and procedures will be tailored to the unique make-up of each group. Larger groups will have more opportunity to work with partners and small group dynamics, while smaller groups will have more individual check-ins with me.

The class will meet three times a week, and each meeting is 55 min to allow for ample time to explore, discuss, and practice the concepts presented. I encourage my students to be active learners by asking and answering questions, offering explanations, etc., as this enriches the experience and the learning for all students.

There will be no required homework assigned in this class, but optional homework assignments/extra practice will be provided after each class meeting for students to complete when needed.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the concept of radian measure of angles.
Students will derive the necessary components and ideas to create the unit circle and understand its meaning.

12 Lessons
over 4 Weeks
Unit 1: Radians and the Unit Circle
Lesson 1:
Intro to Radians and Geometry Review
 In this lesson, we will learn how to measure angles in radians and how radians and degrees relate to one another. To solidify our understanding of radians, we will practice a variety of geometry problems, including solving right triangles and finding arc length and sector area.

Lesson 2:
Introduction to the Unit Circle
 In this lesson, we will discover how right triangle trigonometry can be used to create the unit circle. We will also explore the relationship between the four quadrants of the graph and the angles that are created.

Lesson 3:
Using the Unit Circle
 In this lesson, we will practice using the unit circle to answer a wide variety of questions, so that students can fully understand how it can be used as a tool.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Master's Degree in Mathematics from University of Houston
Although I don't recall loving trigonometry when I learned it as a student, my experience teaching it to both high school and college students over the years has made me fall in love. I understand that these topics are neither easy nor intuitive for many students, so I am excited to offer the opportunity to change that! 

In addition to my love of the subject, I have the following qualifications:
-B.A. in Mathematics from Rice University
-M.A in Mathematics from University of Houston
-Texas Teaching Certificate
-almost 15 years teaching and tutoring courses that teach and/or use logarithms
