Trigonometry Identities and Quadrant Signs - Intro

This math unit begins by developing a foundational understanding of the coordinate plane and quadrant identification using degrees and radians, which is crucial for studying trigonometry. Initially, students learn to determine which quadrant specific angles in degrees and radians belong to. This progresses into deeper exploration of trigonometric ratios like sine, cosine, and tangent, focusing on their signs based on quadrant location. The unit then enhances this knowledge by linking visual representations of quadrants with specific trigonometric ratios and their signs, both denoted in radians and degrees. As the unit advances, students apply their learning to solve more complex problems involving multiple trigonometric identities and their interrelationships within the unit circle. This progression from basic quadrant identification to a nuanced understanding of trigonometric identities and application in various quadrants supports the development of the skills needed to handle advanced trigonometry problems effectively.Skills you will learn include:

  • Trig identities
  • Quadrants
  • Signs of trig identies by quadrant
