   > Sophomore = Geometry first half (required for college prep)   
   > Sophomore = Trig the second half (required for college prep)   
      
   I remember my first trig class, which wasn't very useful. The teacher   
   spent the whole period going around and helping students to find the   
   right buttons on their calculators. Nothing was said about what trig IS.
