Lesson 1

Degrees and Radians

Understand what a radian is, learn the benchmark radian-degree equivalences, and identify quadrants using radian boundaries.

Lesson 2

Converting Degrees to Radians

Multiply by π/180 to convert any degree measure to an exact radian fraction and simplify.

Lesson 3

Converting Radians to Degrees

Multiply by 180/π to convert any radian measure to degrees, cancelling π to get a pure number.

Lesson 4

Arc Length

Apply s = rθ to find arc lengths, radii, and angles — converting degree angles to radians first when needed.

Lesson 5

Sector Area

Apply A = ½r²θ to find sector areas, radii, and angles, and calculate the perimeter of a sector.

Lesson 6

Exact Trigonometric Values

Derive and recall exact sin, cos, and tan values for π/6, π/4, and π/3 using the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 special triangles.

Lesson 7

The Unit Circle and Exact Values

Use the unit-circle rule (cos θ, sin θ) to read exact trigonometric values at common Q1 and axis angles.

Lesson 8

Exact Values in All Quadrants

Use reference angles and ASTC to evaluate exact sin, cos, and tan values for angles in Q2, Q3, and Q4.

Lesson 9

Graphs of Sine, Cosine and Tangent

State and apply the period, range, starting value, zeros, maxima, minima, and asymptotes of y = sin x, y = cos x, and y = tan x.

Lesson 10

Amplitude and Period of Trigonometric Graphs

Identify and calculate the amplitude |a| and period 2π/b of y = a sin(bx) and y = a cos(bx).

Lesson 11

Transformations of Trigonometric Graphs

Identify amplitude, period, phase shift (−c/b), and vertical shift (d) of y = a sin(bx + c) + d, and state the new range.

Lesson 12

Right-Angle Trigonometry — Applications

Apply SOH CAH TOA to multi-step 2D problems; interpret and calculate angles of elevation and depression; read and write true bearings and compass bearings.

Lesson 13

Sine Rule, Cosine Rule and Area Formula

Apply the sine rule a/sinA = b/sinB and cosine rule a² = b² + c² − 2bc cosA to non-right-angled triangles; use Area = ½ab sinC; choose the correct rule for a given triangle.

Lesson 14

The Ambiguous Case of the Sine Rule

Determine how many triangles exist given SSA information; identify the ambiguous case condition bsinA < a < b; find both possible triangles when the ambiguous case applies.

Lesson 15

Trigonometry and Measure of Angles Exam Practice

Practise trigonometry and measure of angles exam practice with concise examples and mastery checks.
