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.
AP Exam Overview
Can be used to inform formative & summative assessment construction.
Preparing for the AP Exam in Unit 1
Polynomial & Rational Functions
After studying Unit 1, students should be able to describe, represent, and model polynomial and rational functions and their additive and multiplicative transformations. Because part of the exam relies on technology, students should be able to identify zeros, points of intersection, and extrema using graphing calculator technology. Students should be able to calculate linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic regressions to model a data set. In the free-response section of the exam, students will not only be required to arrive at a solution but also explain and provide rationales for their conclusions. Students should practice providing reasons for conclusions throughout the unit in both spoken and written form and continually refine their explanations to improve precision.

Need to Do a Class Review for your Next Big Summative Assessment? Instead of wasting time and boring students with a comprehensive review, provide those notes and try something different instead. Rather than reviewing first and then doing a practice test, consider giving the practice test first and then reengaging around the results for a more targeted and engaging review.
