MCX1020 Precalculus & MCX1010 Trigonometry

Math Sequence of Courses: 3 required for graduation

ALGEBRA 1 (REQUIRED)

Explore the world of shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships! This course focuses on points, lines, and figures — including parallel and perpendicular lines, congruence, similarity, symmetry, and transformations. You’ll study right triangles, trigonometry, circles, and 3D figures while learning to connect geometric concepts to real-world problem-solving and design.

GEOMETRY (REQUIRED)

Explore the world of shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships! This course focuses on points, lines, and figures — including parallel and perpendicular lines, congruence, similarity, symmetry, and transformations. You’ll study right triangles, trigonometry, circles, and 3D figures while learning to connect geometric concepts to real-world problem-solving and design.

Math Electives (1 required for graduation, 2 required for academic honors)

MCX1020 Precalculus & MCX1010 Trigonometry

Designed for students with a strong foundation in algebra and coordinate geometry, this year-long course combines Precalculus (Semester 1) and Trigonometry (Semester 2) to prepare students for advanced mathematics and college-level STEM courses.

In Precalculus, students extend their understanding of functions, exploring graphs and properties of algebraic, transcendental, and conic functions, including polar coordinates. In Trigonometry, students study trigonometric functions, identities, equations, and their real-world applications such as vectors and polar forms of complex numbers.

Throughout both semesters, students use technology — including graphing calculators and computer applications — to model, analyze, and solve mathematical problems connected to real-world and scientific phenomena.
