preCalculus Honors 2018-2019: Trigonometry Boot Camp Continued (December)

preCalculus Honors 2018-2019:
Trigonometry Boot Camp Continued
(December)

Chapter08 SCREENCASTS

We continue with Chapter 8 which is all about Law Of Sines, Law Of Cosines and Special Triangle Area Formulae. We will start Chapter 9, all about vectors, after break. Fun was had by all. Of course we went preCalculus Caroling the day before Holiday Break! 

We always say:


"Be one with your inner Ramanujan! 
He figured trig all by himself, he was 13. 
He had no school, no teacher, no book! 
He didn't even have paper or pencil. 
All he had was dirt and a stick!" 


If he can figure out trig under such dire circumstances, so can you!

I call this our 8 Week Trig Boot Camp as we spend all of Quarter II on Trig. We spend the first 4 weeks on Chapters 6&7 as described above. Then we cover Chapter 8 (Law Of Sines, Law Of Cosines and Triangle Area) for 2 weeks before holiday break and we spend 2 more weeks on Chapter 9 (Vectors and CIS(theta)) after holiday break. Then we review for MidTerms!
