Trigonometry’s complete pacing guide details either a semester or full-year pacing plan in this comprehensive course for the out-of-field instructor or new teacher. The course is based on a balanced approach that includes concept instruction and step-by-step examples. The author has segmented lessons into manageable “bites” for comprehension and skill-building. Each day’s lesson plan provides detailed instructions to the teacher including classroom-tested teaching strategies that support various student learning styles. Daily class notes can be displayed as overheads or as PowerPoint presentations. Assessments measure student progress frequently, building student confidence and ensuring concept mastery. Six labs, Web-based resources and many variations of homework support a variety of instructional strategies to reach all students. Point-of-use technology includes graphic calculators which are required for all students; an overhead calculator display is recommended but not essential.
