The entire three-book series, which aims to prepare students for calculus in the fourth year of high school, intersperses geometry lessons with algebra instruction. This teacher's guide, in describing the philosophy for the series, stresses the need to learn concepts before looking at applications and the belief that students learn by doing problems repetitively with an incremental development of concepts. This third book emphasizes all phases of trigonometry including trigonometric equations, trigonometric identities, and the equations and graphs of sinusoids. Lessons are not grouped around one topic but, rather, each lesson deals with a topic as a single unit and is usually not connected to the following lesson. The thread of these topics is continued in later lessons.
Technology is incorporated into the series to the extent that calculators are used in some lessons.
