COURSE NAME: PRE-CALCULUS GRADE: 11,12 Prerequisite: ALGEBRA 2 Credits: 5 ABSTRACT The purpose of this full year, five credit course is to prepare students for Calculus at the high school or college level. This course will serve as a comprehensive review of skills previously acquired and to both refine and extend those skills. The study of trigonometry, analytic geometry and elementary functions constitute most of this curriculum. Attention is also given to mathematical rigor, career opportunities, and the attitude with which mathematics must be approached in order to experience success at higher levels. Extensive use is made of graphing calculators and computer laboratory time is assigned. This course is a prerequisite for Calculus. In preparation for the state assessments, students will be given formative and summative assessments throughout the course.

They can use algebraic and graphing techniques to explain and analyze the general properties and behaviors of functions or relations. They can use functions to model real-world phenomena and solve problems of varying quantities. There are appropriate methods to solve equations and inequalities. 3 Identities are used to evaluate, simplify, and solve trigonometric expressions and equations.
