 * Overall Chapter Thoughts**

I think using the **"Just in Time Algebra and Trigonometry for Calculus"** from Pearson would really be a better system than all of D and chapter 1. These sections hop around a lot and I'm not fond of the continuity (or lack there-of) in both of them. They don't feed well into each other and they don't feed well into chapter 1. They further stress rather minor points and don't get on enough of the essentials.

What's more, I think building up a strong understanding of sin, cos, tan and THEN getting into csc, sec, etc. would be the way to go (as in the JIT series) - Alana


 * Section 1.1 -- Graphs and Models:**

-- 1.1 Notes, version 1
 * Materials:**


 * Thoughts on Implementation:**

Don't actually lecture on materials in this section. Let them do the homework in groups or on their own and answer questions as needed. - Alana

Some of this is a bit strange for them -- specifically the stuff on symmetry, because (I think) "proving" things is more analytical (which is not a strong suit for many). - SFT


 * Section 1.2 -- Linear Models and Rates of Change:**

-- 1.2 Notes, version 1
 * Materials:**


 * Thoughts on Implementation:**

Don't actually lecture on materials in this section. Let them do the homework in groups or on their own and answer questions as needed. - Alana


 * Section 1.3 -- Functions and Their Graphs:**

-- 1.3 Notes, version 1
 * Materials:**


 * Thoughts on Implementation:**

Don't actually lecture on materials in this section. Let them do the homework in groups or on their own and answer questions as needed. - Alana

The stuff on composition and nomenclature was useful to review. - SFT


 * Section 1.4 -- THIS SECTION IS SKIPPED:**


 * Thoughts on Implementation:**


 * Section 1.5 -- Inverse Functions:**

-- 1.5 Notes, version 1
 * Materials:**


 * Thoughts on Implementation:**

This section does need some lecturing on, in my experience, particularly the trigonometric examples. - Alana


 * Section 1.6 -- Exponential and Logarithmic Functions:**

-- 1.6 Notes, version 1
 * Materials:**


 * Thoughts on Implementation:**

Students are not overly-confident with logs... so it's good to go over this a bit. - Alana
