Overview
This course on angles in trigonometry covers topics such as graphing angles in radians, degrees, and standard form, as well as understanding negative, coterminal, and reference angles. The course aims to teach students how to convert between radians and degrees, sketch angles accurately, and determine coterminal angles. The teaching method involves practical applications and tips in short online math tutorials. The intended audience for this course includes students studying trigonometry or pre-calculus who are looking to improve their understanding of angles and trigonometric concepts.
