In addition to the objectives of the Algebra 2 curriculum, students study circular trigonometry in greater depth including trig identities, trigonometric applications, and solving trigonometric equations. Basic counting principles are introduced. A graphing calculator may be required for this course.
**** Important Note: By selecting this course, level change requests will be considered ONLY at the end of the
1st Progress reporting Period in September.
• Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of an Algebra course and a Geometry course; open to grades 9,10 and 11
• Students self-report spending an average of 2 hours a week outside of school on this course
• This is an advanced course
Should I take this course?
The main differences between Trig A and Trig H are with the pace of the course and the difficulty of the problems, rather than the content, like with Geometry and Geometry H. If you are coming from Geometry, this is the course that you should take if you did average in Geometry, although you can also level up to Trig H if you are enthusiastic about math and are willing to devote a little more time to studying it. On the other hand, you should only level down from Geo H to Trig A if you found Geo H really hard and ended up with a relatively low grade (i.e. a C or lower).
