  • Students should expect to spend 2-4 hours per week (which includes the instructional videos) if they wish to complete the workshop in an 8-12 week timeframe.

​

This workshop will cover topics in functions, trigonometry, and analytical geometry.

  • Each section engages students in explorations of problem solving, strengthens critical-thinking skills through technology and study tips, and develops why trigonometry is important through real-life applications.

  • Topics include:

    • Introduction to Angles (degrees & radians)

    • Introduction to Right Angles

    • Introduction the Unit Circle

    • Solving Right Triangles

    • Properties and Graphing Trig Functions

    • Trigonometric Ratios & Identities 

    • Simplifying and Verifying Trig Expressions
