Most junior class math students in America know what SOH CAH TOA stands for: The Sine (of an angle) = the Opposite divided by the Hypotenuse. The Cosine (of an angle) = the Adjacent divided by the Hypotenuse. The Tangent (of an angle) = the Opposite divided by the Adjacent. They also know these trigonometry rules apply to right triangles only and not non-right triangles. (See the diagram above) If they are solid with these rules or just need to brush up on their skills, good

Hungry for more test taking tips?? On July 2nd, we posted about P.O.E., the Process of Elimination...We hope it was helpful! Today, we are going to take a close look at another helpful test-taking acronym, RELAX. RELAX stands for: Read (the question carefully) Examine (every answer choice) Label (your answer or your proof) Always (check your answers) X-out (answers you know are wrong) Hopefully you can see right away that the last tip, X-out, is really another way of talking

They squeeze a student's brains between timing restrictions and too many questions to answer. They confuse a student's brains with poorly worded questions and weird formats. So let's talk about the champion of essential standardized test taking skills... POE The Process Of Elimination Educators rightly teach young students to use POE wh
