Taruna taught Katelynn 6 months ago
Taruna and Katie reviewed trigonometry, focusing on calculating angles, understanding trigonometric functions in different quadrants, and evaluating these functions without a calculator. They worked through problems on pages 32 and 37-38, simplifying angles and using quadrant rules. Katie will do a summary on her own, and they plan to continue with the next topic in the next session.
Coterminal Angles
Reference Angles
Trigonometric Functions in Quadrants
Breaking Down Angles
Using the Unit Circle Table
Negative Angle Identities
Urmi taught Anthony 7 months ago
Urmi Sood tutored Natasha on trigonometry, covering sine, cosine, tangent, and the unit circle. They reviewed formulas and solved problems, with attention to calculator usage. Urmi assigned practice problems and scheduled a follow-up session, also reminding Natasha about purchasing more lessons.

Making sense of trigonometry: A student’s guide to getting it right
What to expect when learning trig in high school across Australia
Trigonometry is introduced around Year 9 or 10 and builds steadily into senior maths subjects across Australia. Whether you're studying Mathematical Methods in Victoria, Advanced Maths in New South Wales, or ATAR Maths Methods in Queensland or WA, trigonometry is a core topic.
At first, it’s about right-angled triangles and ratios. But quickly, things evolve into unit circles, sine rules, radians, and trigonometric identities. Some schools move faster than others, and students preparing for selective programs or accelerated streams may see trigonometry earlier than expected.
It’s common for students to start strong with algebra, then feel thrown off when trigonometric functions get layered into equations. But with the right strategies and enough time to practise, trigonometry becomes one of the most predictable parts of high school maths.
Why trig feels tricky?
Most students find trig challenging not because the content is harder, but because it feels unfamiliar. Terms like sine, cosine, and tangent aren’t intuitive at first. Add in calculator settings, periodic graphs, and exam pressure, and it can feel like a lot to juggle.
The good news is that trigonometry follows patterns. Once students grasp SOH-CAH-TOA, understand special angle values, and learn how to sketch graphs, they’re halfway there. The key is consistency. One missed topic can throw off everything else, which is why reviewing small gaps early makes a big difference later.
Tips and tools that actually help
Draw the triangle every time, even if it’s already on the page
Double-check your calculator mode is in degrees or radians as needed
Use colour when solving identities to track transformations and simplifications
Pin a unit circle chart above your study desk
Practice sketching graphs from memory, especially for sine and cosine functions
Students often benefit from a mix of resources. School-provided booklets and classroom support are the starting point, but many also use visual apps like Desmos or GeoGebra. Practice exams and VCE/HSC past papers help students apply their understanding under test conditions.
