WHAT TO EXPECT: This book reviews essential trigonometry concepts, ideas, and skills. Topics include the basic trig functions, special angles, the reference angle, the unit circle, going beyond Quadrant I, inverse trig functions, and radians. A few chapters are intended to help students memorize the trig functions of common angles like 30, 150, or 315 degrees, which will be especially useful for students who may take exams without a calculator (that's the case with the MCAT and many math and science courses). Each chapter works out examples with step-by-step solutions and explanations. Problems at the end of each chapter offer practice carrying out the techniques. The answer to every exercise can be found at the back of the book.CONTENTS: This book is conveniently divided up into 9 chapters so that students can focus on one trigonometry skill at a time. Skills include the following: review of the Pythagorean theorem and relevant properties of triangles;understanding sine, cosine, and tangent;special angles and special triangles;working with the reference angle;using the unit circle;working in Quadrants II-IV;finding secant, cosecant, and cotangent;finding inverse trig functions;and converting between degrees and radians.AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Step-by-Step and Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.ANSWERS: Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice. The large print naturally lends itself to overhead transparencies or classroom document cameras for projecting pages onto an overhead display or projector

Welcome to an enchanted land where writing practice is fun and fit for a princess. This princess book is much more than just a writing workbook: A decorative princess-themed border adds a visual element to each page, which helps to stimulate interest and set a princess-themed tone.These writing exercises include words, phrases, and sentences relating to princesses. This helps to inspire students to want to read and copy the writing exercises.Students first trace the words and then copy each line onto the blank line below. The standard three lines help to align the letters properly.This volume of the series is designed for students who have already practiced their basic lettering, but who need additional practice writing words, phrases, and sentences. Students who still need to learn their letters may want to begin with a more basic workbook from this series.This workbook also includes one chapter of reading and writing questions (with answers in the back). Students first read a short paragraph and then write answers to three questions. This helps to build basic reading comprehension and valuable writing skills.The last chapter, called Express Yourself, includes 20 pages of guided writing exercises, which encourages students to think about what to write. This is a valuable skill that everyone needs to develop.Uppercase and lowercase alphabet pages at the beginning of the workbook review how to write each letter (arrows are included).The introduction offers suggestions for how to make the most of this workbook. There is also a page for parents and teachers, describing how to ask basic, intermediate, and advanced questions to make the learning experience more interactive.

This trigonometry workbook focuses on trig identities. The majority of the exercises let you derive a variety of trig identities by following similar examples. If you get stuck, helpful hints in the back of the book help walk you through the solution. Other exercises include applications, such as how to find the tangent of 15 degrees without a calculator or how to apply trig identities to solve equations. This book also serves as a handy list of numerous trig identities organized by topic. The answer to every problem can be found at the back of the book. The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his knowledge of trig identities.
