Tinkering with Trig Applications: Reasoning and Inquiry in Advanced Math

Thursday November 5, 2026 10:00am - 11:00am EST

In this interactive session, participants will explore trigonometric function application tasks that promote reasoning, discourse, and conceptual understanding in Math 3, Math 4, and AP Precalculus. Through collaborative problem-solving and mathematical tinkering, students build the fluency and analytical skills needed for success in AP-level mathematics.
