Moving on, this week we'll look more at the unit circle and our foundational ideas. We'll also look at using trig in non-right triangles and a couple other applications. We'll get a day for review and a quiz on Thursday. We're at the point where you can begin doing some real IB practice problems. Be sure to do those as we go along as they give you the best sense of what is expected.
This is a light week - the best time to really focus on your explorations, the draft of which is due a week from Thursday.. Final is due 4/30 - dates are shown below. See you in class.
