More About the 6 Trig Ratios and What Not

Today we were given a better understanding of the 6 trig ratios and made a chart to show how to find the sine and cosine of angles without using a calculator. I remember in previous grades, people would say that in grade 12 you were not allowed to use a calculator, and I always wondered how that was possible because of the fact that you needed a calculator to show you how to find the tangent/sine/cosine of an angle, but now I see how that's possible! I didn't copy notes down in class but tomorrow I will get the notes off of the computer by saving them to my thumb drive and copy stuff out into my scribbler I keep specifically for notes.
Also today Mr. Maks went over how to write a proper (?) blog, so hopefully I am on the right track, considering this post is actually my experiences with math today, not just notes that I gathered.
Also Matt helped me out with fractions (like turning degrees to radians, and simplifying those fractions). I am absolutely terrible when it comes to fractions, so that's one thing that I will definitely have to practice.
