absolutely necessary for solving the area and sides of similar shapes and the quadratic formula. There doesn’t seem to be much use in solving trigonometric functions. At least knowing sine‚ cosine‚ tangent‚ and the others should be fine. The Pythagorean Theorem is also a necessity.

teacher shows their students how to do math‚ you were the first teacher who taught us what the math meant‚ what people actually used it for. I came out of algebra‚ geometry‚ and pre-calculus with knowledge of how to factor‚ how to use the Pythagorean Theorem‚ and how to find a function’s horizontal asymptotes‚ but after your calculus class I had a deeper understanding of the topics you taught us. And‚ since in your class I began to understand the usefulness of things like related rates or integration

substitute the minimal knowledge that is needed on a standardized test. For example‚ a seventh grade teacher will try to perfect students’ ability to use the Pythagorean Theorem in order to obtain the measurement of sides and angles of a right triangle. But on the other hand‚ real life applications and word problems of how the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find unknown distances and heights‚ as well as angles of elevation‚ will be less of a focus because there is less of a focus on longer and wordy
