Then "import math" at the top of the file, and refer to module
functions as "math.sin".

That's the normal approach you'd see in pretty much every Python
project on the web, so "follow normal practice" applies. By the time
your students know enough to ask if there's a way to avoid needing to
repeat "math" (and understand the answer) they are likely to be
experienced enough to judge which option is better in a given
situation.
