We'll drop back into trig this week. I know that it's a hard time of year to work with new and complex ideas, but it's good for you to have *something* substantial to sink your teeth into as school draws to a close (like spinach). During these next three weeks you will develop your core relationship with more advanced trig. Your dates with the QB problems are particularly important. See you in class,

On with trig ideas this week - very gently in order to leave you time to work on your explorations. That really should be your focus this week if you plan to turn it in on time! See you in class.

SL 2 - 4/22/13

On with review - day by day. Please note that this time is for you to review. The idea is for you to go through papers, do the problems, see where you are and then go through the markscheme and fully understand the solution, going back to principles in the book or elsewhere if you are unclear. Class time is for specific questions only on those issues that you cannot figure out on your own. It is not a set of presentations going back over the whole course as that will not help you learn what you need to know. Out of respect for your classmates, please prepare for class accordingly. See you in class.

SL 1 - 4/15/13

On Monday we'll take a quiz on non-right angle triangle trig - mainly focusing on areas of triangles, the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. Then we'll jump into more advanced trig, looking at sine and cosine etc. as functions of *time* or some other independent variable that may not be obviously related to an angle.

I'll return your Exploration drafts and we'll continue to work on those through the end of the year. See you in class.

More on logarithms and exponents this week, particularly in the context of solving equations. Be sure to ask questions and do a lot of practice as these ideas are often slow to take root. Also, a lot of you need to find a time to make up the quiz on exponentials and graphing - Monday afternoon could work well. See you in class.
