This project was a really early project compared to other projects but some of the content in here is still used in later units suprisingly. This whole project was based around Trigonometry.
The main bulk of the project is learning about indirect measurment using Trig. What we were assigned is that we had to find elevated objects and create a right triangle to calculate an estimated height. After finding the height of the object, we would use estimates of our own height and distance away from the object to make the first two sides of the "triangle". Finally, this is where the Clinometer comes in. When measuring the height, we would look up at the object and use a clinometer to measure the angle we were looking at by placing the clinometer close to our eye for the most accurate measurement you can get.
This is the bread and butter for my year in Pre-Calculus. I may not like the class but we went over lots and lots of material in that class. We went back and improved on Trigonometry for a while, moved onto Probabilities, and now finished the semester off with Hyperbolas and Ellipses. The class as a whole is something daunting but never impossible. It was a draining one for me but I still powered through it all. Math isn't my strong suit and this was a massive hurdle to overcome but I somehow did it, and I'm proud that I did.
Additionally to the notebook, we did some assignments in Kami, just to make it a bit easier for any students (like myself) were at home during classtime. All of the Kami assignments covered every unit, and actually helped a lot when unit tests came up every now and again.
Overall, Pre-Calc wasn't so bad, but I wouldn't do it again. Math just is not my style
