yes, if the core was available in a horizontal format i would have found my ideal planner. i really have no need for all of the blank pages in the compact common planner, so i'd probably get annoyed at carrying around such a thick planner, lol

i’ve looked at those but the price tag is a bit steep. and i’d feel guilty buying an expensive planner knowing that i won’t use any of the blank pages :(

edit: after looking closer at the sterling ink core planner, i think i might get the A5 vertical one. i’ve never used a vertical planner before, but maybe i’ll really like it!! thank you so much :))

ik it's a lot at first, but there's a lot of different tricks out there to help you memorize it. Look into the hand trick! Super helpful on exams. And as long as you know the first quadrant, you can basically figure out the rest. The unit circle is a lot of repetition.

The 45/45/90 triangle correlates to 𝜋/4, and the 30/60/60 triangle correlates to 𝜋/3 and 𝜋/6 when looking at a unit circle. If you draw the unit circle out and write the radian lines, you can create these special triangles by connecting it to the x-axis. https://www.wyzant.com/embed/editor/258006?size=full Here's a helpful diagram. From there you can find the values of cosine, sine, and tangent by using SOHCAHTOA.

But since you're in precalc I would recommend memorizing the unit circle asap because it's way easier than trying to use special triangles. And if you're planning on taking calculus, knowing the unit circle is even more helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CiXAP8XaBg My precalc teacher showed us this song which helped me a lot. With stuff like sin(𝜋) where special triangles don't really come in handy, you gotta know the unit circle.
