Series Details

About

We'll cover everything related to Trigonometry within the Pre-Calculus unit from Khan Academy! You are welcome and encouraged to bring questions about anything to any session! The dates and times of future sessions and not by any means set in stone, and we can work together to figure out what days and times are best for everyone who joins. If you'd like to join this series but the day and time of the first session doesn't work for you, just comment here and we can work together to find a day and time you can meet up!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

There are no strict attendance requirements for this series, but the topics in some sessions will build on previous topics and may be more difficult to keep up with if you haven't attended previous sessions.

Session 1

Trigonometry

We'll introduce radians and the unit circle and go over how to convert between degrees and radians, as well as some special radians values. If you're already familiar with radians, this session could still be a helpful review, but it's up to you whether you'd like to attend. Feel free to bring questions!

Session 2

Trigonometry

We'll go over how the unit circle can be used to calculate the sine and cosine of any angle, special right triangles and how they show up on the unit circle, and do lots of practice! Feel free to bring questions!

Session 11

Trigonometry

We'll continue going over sinusoidal equations for modeling real-world problems and the different features of the graph and equation of a trigonometric function, then go over the sine and cosine addition and subtraction identities, where they come from, and how to use them to simplify expressions and equations, plus lots of practice! Feel free to bring questions!
