I'm also searching for resources on the web. It is really great when I run into a syllabus that does not have any class content in it. Oh, you got loads of class rules, but who knows what the class actually covers.
I'm also realizing that the US is as bad as Canada when it comes to ensuring consistency. I find Precalculus syllabi that don't include limits.
Lol wut???
Isn't this a Pre*calculus* class?!
I guess universities here have to do the same thing that École Polytechnique de Montréal had to do when I went there. The first year was designed to equalize the student population. I was bored out of my skull because the classes I had prior to entering covered the necessary material.
Does anyone have an online and free Precalculus course that they especially like and is tutor-friendly?
I have a student who might ask for a full Precalculus class. I'm not sure yet.
Note, that I do know about Khan Academy's course. That's the one I used for review.
(Alternatively, if you know a tutor-friendly website with free math courses, let me know.)

Happy Saturday! Let's do some quick #ProblemSolving using #TryMathLive #TryMathsLive from the February Calendar of Problems.
Here is Feb 9, a great one to remind Ss of exponent laws & common base strategy.

If any of my #ClassroomMath #MTBoS friends here are using TI technology...
Join me and @MathTechCoach for a free webinar tonight (7pm CDT) "Kick Start Your Geometry Class with TI Technology"
See how to use your TI84 & TInspire for #Geometry class & beyond! #Algebra #Precalculus

So, I need some input from other #teachers in #education who are #teaching on a #blockschedule. This is the first time that my school will be doing it, this is only my 2nd year teaching and last year we had normal 50-minute classes. I am going to be teaching #algebra2, #precalculus, and #apcalculus. My question is -- what break duration do you suggest? I'm thinking 5 minutes and give them the chance to walk around the room and such, get up, stretch, at about 40 after class starts, pick up again from 45 after and continue until the 90 minutes is up. I would love to get input?
Teaching right triangle trig? Check out this reference chart I created for my precalculus students last year while we were reviewing the trigonometry they learned in geometry class.

Here is the first part: Polar Graphing Lab so students get an understanding of all the different polar curves. It was set up for TI84 but you can use any platform that does polar.

Please boost!!
@ilanahorn I de-emphasize the big unit circle with all the labeled multiples of pi/6 and pi/4. Instead, I focus on teaching 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles and the use of reference angles. It's a lot less memorization for my students and focuses on understanding.
