Time4Learning’s online trigonometry course is one of five math courses offered at the high school level. This one-semester course is designed for students that have successfully completed a second year of algebra and desire to improve their analytic math abilities and understanding of trigonometry.

Our trigonometry curriculum is taught using a combination of multimedia lessons, instructional videos, quizzes, tests and both online and offline projects. All instruction is standards-based and helps to prepare students for college math courses.

On this page you will discover what topics are covered in a high school trigonometry course, learn more about the general objectives for trigonometry, and find out how families can use Time4Learning as their main curriculum for homeschool trigonometry or as a supplement to other programs.

What Do You Learn in Trigonometry?

Trigonometry studies the relationship between the sides and angles of triangles. It uses geometrical constructions to determine the measurement of angles from the ratio of the lengths of the sides. Mathematicians, scientists, architects, and many others use trigonometry in their profession to determine distances between objects without having to measure them.

Some of the lessons included in Time4Learning’s online trigonometry curriculum for high school students are:

  • Triangle Classification Theorems
  • Angles and Trigonometric Functions
  • Solving Trigonometric Equations
  • Applying Vectors in the Plane
  • Equations of Hyperbolas

Learning Objectives for High School Trigonometry

The topics that are covered in trigonometry encourage students to use problem solving and prepare them for future pursuits that may include careers in STEM (science/technology/engineering/math). The Time4Learning trigonometry course begins with a quick overview of right triangle relationships before introducing students to trigonometric functions and their applications. The course wraps up with an introduction to vectors and conic sections.

Throughout the trigonometry course, students will reach for the following goals:

  • Define and apply the six trigonometric functions
  • Solve problems in the complex and polar coordinate systems
  • Represent conic sections with equations and graphs
  • Explore right triangle relationships and solve problems with triangles

Why Choose Time4Learning’s High School Trigonometry Curriculum?
