Pre-Calculus Course Description

  •  

    Precalculus (One Credit)
    Prerequisites: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry


    Precalculus is the preparation for calculus. The course approaches topics from a function point of view, where
    appropriate, and is designed to strengthen and enhance conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning used
    when modeling and solving mathematical and real-world problems. Students systematically work with functions and their
    multiple representations. The study of Precalculus deepens students' mathematical understanding and fluency with
    algebra and trigonometry and extends their ability to make connections and apply concepts and procedures at higher
    levels. Students investigate and explore mathematical ideas, develop multiple strategies for analyzing complex situations, and use technology to build understanding, make connections between representations, and provide support in solving problems.


    Precalculus Pre-AP (One Credit)
    Prerequisites: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry


    Pre-AP Precalculus is recommended for students planning to take AP Calculus. The course approaches topics from a
    function point of view, where appropriate, and is designed to strengthen and enhance conceptual understanding and
    mathematical reasoning used when modeling and solving mathematical and real-world problems. Students systematically
    work with functions and their multiple representations. The study of Precalculus deepens students' mathematical
    understanding and fluency with algebra and trigonometry and extends their ability to make connections and apply
    concepts and procedures at higher levels. Students investigate and explore mathematical ideas, develop multiple
