"Wouldn't it be interesting if, while I was knocking on this, a little door opened and the office gremlins came out?" Amelia
"You know to remember sine-cosine-tangent--sohcahtoa? I realized that "sohcahtoa" fits anywhere in a song that "Hallelujah" goes. So you could sing the Sohcahtoa Chorus." Amelia
The SohCahToa chorus is nice, though this math teacher prefers it in place of "Oklahoma!" as follows:
ReplyDeleteSohCahToa!
Where we define sine, cosine, and tan
And the ratios of each of those
Follows S, a C, and a T
SohCahToa!
Opposite-hypotenuse is sine
And for cosine, oh, it's the ratio
Of adjacent on hypotentuse
We know we can't forget tan
It's the opposite on adjacent
And when we say LABEL YOUR SIDES, trigonometry,
CHOOSE YOUR FUNCTION
We're only saying
Thanks for your help SohCahToa!
SohCahToa, OK!

You did it. You got me started with the songs. It will be difficult to recover.
