Sophia had sore muscles from a Bikram yoga class, so was somewhat limited in class. However, we focused on stretches that would help relieve some soreness.
We reviewed the sine, cosine and tangent functions of right triangles. Then we focused our explorations on the 30-60-90-degree and 45-45-90 degree triangles and saw how, in those two special cases, we could sidestep the Pythagorean Theorem (because of the Pythagorean Theorem.)

Sophia's attitude is fabulous as is her concentration. We'll work some practice problems tomorrow.
Sophia read more of Bring Up the Bodies. She is confused about the religious context of the story and as well wanted to know how Muslim religion practiced in Morocco related. We spent the rest of the class discussing the timeline of the ld Testament, New Testament, and the Quran.
