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 3
Trigonometric & Polar Functions
As sinusoidal function content pairs well with each of the mathematical practices and skills in the course, students should practice applying each skill to each trigonometric function objective. On the AP Exam, students will need to describe characteristics of sinusoidal functions, such as amplitude, vertical shift, period, and phase shift, give reasons for why chosen values are consistent with information provided, calculate sinusoidal regressions using a graphing calculator, and apply trigonometric function models to contexts. Students should be practicing these skills in daily activities, so they are able to use them fluently on the AP Exam.
See AP Classroom for more information.

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.
