PreCalculus (2025-2026)
Nothing for us this summer, just don't forget all those great algebra skills, and get yourselves excited! Enjoy your summer break, and we'll see you soon.
Stop by and say "hi" at Welcome Night in August - you can walk your schedule, grab syllabi, and choose a locker.
Required Supplies
Please come to school the first day with the following supplies:
Graphing Calculator Required (TI-84 model is strongly recommended)
Plenty of paper (lined and graph)
Pencils & Erasers
Straightedge
Colored pen for grading (required by some teachers)
AP PreCalculus students must have a binder (size 1" recommended.)
Optional Supplies
Highlighter
Ruler
Protractor
Notebook (each teacher will explain the way they would like you to organize your work. In general, we suggest a spiral-bound notebook, a folder, or a binder with loose paper).
One item to contribute to classroom needs (tissues, expo markers, sharpened pencils, graph paper, a ream of colored paper, a ream of card stock, hand sanitizer, treats, etc.)
About the Course
The goal of PreCalculus is to unify the big ideas of Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2 and sharpen the skills most needed for calculus and other rigorous mathematical subjects. This course studies a variety of mathematical topics including functions and their graphs, regression analysis, polynomials, rationals, radicals and limits, linear algebra, trigonometry, series and sigma notation, vectors, and analytic geometry. You will have the opportunity to learn mathematics four ways—algebraically, numerically, graphically, and verbally, which will provide the foundation for future topics in mathematics at the college level.
We are excited to meet you and are looking forward to a great year!
