AP Precalculus **New Course Offering**

Course #: 2213

Grade: 12

GPA Tier I Course

Prerequisite:  Algebra II

AP Precalculus is for any student seeking a third- or fourth-year mathematics course after completing Geometry and Algebra 2. In AP Precalculus, students explore everyday situations using mathematical tools and lenses. Students build deep mastery of modeling and functions through regular practice and examine scenarios through multiple representations. They will learn how to observe, explore, and build mathematical meaning from dynamic systems, an important practice for thriving in an ever-changing world.

AP Precalculus prepares students for other higher-level mathematics and science courses. The framework delineates content and skills common to college precalculus courses that are foundational for mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science careers.

The course content is organized into units of study that provide a suggested sequence for the course. 

AP Precalculus Exam Topics (Required for College Calculus Placement) 

• Unit 1: Polynomial and Rational Functions

• Unit 2: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

• Unit 3: Trigonometric and Polar Functions

Additional Topics (Not Included on AP Precalculus Exam)

• Unit 4: Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices

Note: This course is not a prerequisite for and does not have to be followed by AP Calculus AB or BC.
