Series Details
About
Welcome! In this series we'll start with the very basics of triangles and end with advanced trigonometry! Are you ready?
We'll cover:
-Types of triangles,
- General Triangle Properties
-Circumcenter, Centroid, Altitudes, and Medians
-Triangular Pyramids and Prisms (and their brain bending properties :)
-Right Triangle Trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA, Complementary Angles, Reciprocal Trigonometric Ratios, etc.)
-Unit Circle and Trigonometric Identities/Values
-Radians and Degrees
-Trigonometric Functions
-Inverse Trigonometric Functions
-Sinusoidal Graphs/Equations
-Angle Addition Identities
-(other) Trigonometric Identities
Each session will be about an hour to an hour and a half and we'll end each session with a Quizziz (game). Catch-up sessions are always available, just ask! Everything is organized in a google sites (homework, resources, slides, etc.)
Pre-requisite: Pre-Algebra; Algebra and Geometry in general are also useful and recommended, but not required.
YOU CAN ALWAYS JOIN AFTER THE SERIES HAS BEGUN!
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Optional, but concepts grow off one another, so if you can't make it just let me know and we can have a catch-up session if you want. Hope to see you soon!

About the Tutor
PL
JG
Hey, my name's Jose, and I'm currently a senior. I'm about the biggest Indie music fan there is, I love 80s movies (John Hughes goat), and reading in my spare time. I enjoy math because it allows me to express myself artistically, and tutor for the mere sake of those aha moments. I've gotten 5s on AP Spanish Lit and AP English Lang, and I've taken Multivariable Calc and Linear Algebra (which I hope to tutor soon!) I'm currently taking AP Physics C and Real Analysis.

Session 1
Right triangles & trigonometry
It's great to see you guys here!
We're going to start with a brief series overview, then get into
-Types of Triangles
-Angle Properties
-The Triangle Inequality Theorem
-The Pythagorean Theorem (we'll do the proof after the quizziz using similarly for those who wanna see, I'll also send a video of it to you guys)
Catch-up sessions are always available!

Session 3
Right triangles & trigonometry
Hey guys,
Today we're going to learn the trigonometric ratios (SOHCAHTOA), reciprocal ratios, and build some intuition around them (it would be helpful to know about Similarity beforehand). We'll find the lengths of missing sides of right triangles, learn about complementary angles, and do some other practice.
As always, catch-up sessions are available.

Session 4
Non-right triangles & trigonometry
Hey guys, today we're going to go over the law of sines and cosines (and their proofs) to find the missing sides of arbitrary triangles (and provide some more intuition to some congruence theorems using these laws)
As always, catch-up sessions are available.

Session 5
Trigonometric functions
Hey guys, today we'll learn what radians are and how to convert between them and degrees. Then we'll go over the Unit Circle, trig identities/values that we can derived from the unit circle, and then we'll practice computing trig values.
As always, catch-up sessions are available.

Trigonometric functions
Hey guys, today we're going to be plotting the values of trigonometric functions that we derived using the unit circle onto a graph; then we'll play around with inverse functions and make the trigonometric functions invertible (For background knowledge on making functions invertible, go to https://www.khanacademy.org/math/precalculus/x9e81a4f98389efdf:composite/x9e81a4f98389efdf:invertible/a/intro-to-invertible-functions). We'll also determine the domain and range of these inverse functions and see their graphs as well.
As always, catch-up sessions are available.

Session 9
Trigonometric functions
Hey guys, today we're going to take a look at the features of sinusoidal (sine and cosine) functions today: amplitude, period, midline, and phase shift, and how each of these features corresponds to a different part of the sinusoidal equation af(b(x+c))+d, where f is either sin or cosine.
As always, catch-up sessions are available.

Session 10
Trigonometric functions
Today we'll just practice what we learnt last session, deriving the equations of sinusoidal functions using their graphs. This is a very tedious process, so we will have an additional session on this.
