Lesson 7 Reference Angles Blank Notes | Completed Notes
Today, we'll discuss what a "reference angle" is and how it might be used in trigonometry.
Lesson 8 Radian Measure of Angles Blank Notes | Completed Notes
In this lesson, we'll learn that radians are another way to measure an angle. We'll also learn how to convert between degrees and radians.
Lesson 9 Exact Values of Trigonometric Functions Blank Notes | Completed Notes
Today, we'll learn how to use the quadrant and reference angle to determine the exact trigonometric value for certain angles which lie inside a quadrant. We'll also learn how to use the unit circle to determine exact trigonometric values for quadrantal angles.

Today, we will construct the graphs of the parent functions by using the quadrantal angles to determine key points on the graph. We will also learn how to transform these graphs using stetching and shrinking, and using vertical shift. We'll also learn how to do basic analysis of the graph, including domain and range.
Lesson 2 Introducing Horizontal Shift Blank Notes | Completed Notes
In this lesson, we will build on the previous lesson by doing all of the "stuff" from the previous lesson, but we will also add in a new skill--that of shifting the graph horizontally.

Lesson 4 Graphing Secant and Cosecant Blank Notes | Completed Notes
Today we'll use the helper functions of the sine and cosine graphs to create graphs of the secant and cosecant functions.
Lesson 5 Graphing Tangent and Cotangent Blank Notes | Completed Notes | Additional Practice | Video Walkthrough
In this lesson, we'll examine how to analyze and graph the parent functions of the tangent and cotangent functions. We'll also learn how to analyze and graph transformations of these functions.
