Holy crap!! 
Oh how I hate trigonometry. 
My eldest is in S4 and asked for some help - after an hour...Google...and some swearing....
I wrote him a note to say I haven't got a clue and can someone at school help explain it to him again. 
I have NEVER used it since I did it at school. Very very few professions do....so we do we still bother with it at basic level??  |

wholeheartedly agree.....homework of any kind sucks.....its bad enough we have done it once already but to then have to do it again with the kids is a flipping nightmare. |

I am allergic to Maths in French and in English.
The National 5 books are useful. You can buy them, some teachers have some or the library. Also gives you the head up on what the curriculum is like for the year. Good luck xx |

Have used Algorithms and tangents but the sins, cosines etc lose me.
I did maths, and went on to study calculus, statistics etc Trig always tripped me up
When my kids did their exams I hid |

Loved maths at school too....except trigonometry.
Sin cos and tan....could never work out which to use so i would work out the answer using all three then put down the one that "looked right".
My sympathy is with you x |

In a previous life I worked in construction, required me to use trigonometry to work out angles /measurements, Dr Google helped direct me towards youtube tutorials, takes a bit of digging but different people explain the problem and methods to solve in simple English really helped me out, good luck with the homework

Still remember a fair bit of maths
Got both kids through their highers and even some of their uni stuff
Problem is like everything else if you don't use it you lose it
