AP Precalculus centers on functions modeling dynamic phenomena. Research indicates that deep understanding of functions and their graphs as embodying dynamic covariation of quantities best supports student preparation for calculus.
The Story of AP Precalculus (How the Year Unfolds)
The main topics in the Precalculus course are polynomial & rational functions, exponential & logarithmic functions, trigonometric & polar functions, and, time-permitting, functions involving parameters, vectors & matrices.
Each unit includes these features:
•Exploration, analysis, and application of new function types.
•Deep development of a key function concept applicable across function types such as transformations, compositions, and inverses.
•Examination of how variables change relative to each other for each of the function types.
•Use of each function type to model contexts and data sets.
•Rigorous application of the algebraic skills needed to engage with each function type.
