Method of Teaching
Use Blackline Master 3.1 to create an overhead or handout for graphically
verifying trigonometric formulas and identities. Demonstrate the process
of entering the equality's left- and right-hand expressions and when
necessary, emphasize the intervals where functions are positive or negative
(as demonstrated in Using Blackline Master 3.2). Next, use the Blackline Masters
3.3 through 3.5 to create worksheets for the students. Have the students verify
the various formulas and identities. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement
the worksheets.
