Pre-Calculus

060110 CP Pre-Calculus - Grades 10, 11, 12 (NCAA) 

1 credit

This course is designed for the student who experienced success in both CP Algebra Il and CP Geometry. This course includes two major areas of study: Trigonometry and topics in Advanced Mathematics. In Trigonometry, the student will study the trigonometric functions and use them to prove identities, solve equations and applied triangle problems. Topics to be studied in Advanced Mathematics are linear functions and relations along with theory of equations.  This course will give the student an enriching environment to apply what they have learned in previous courses utilizing strong Algebraic and problem-solving skills. Homework is vital to success. Evaluation procedures will include testing, projects, and final examinations. A graphing calculator from the Ti83/Ti84 series is required and utilized everyday with an emphasis on the theory as well as the applications for this course. 

PREREQUISITE: CP Algebra IIB or Honors Algebra I and CP Geometry or Honors Geometry

060170 Honors Pre-Calculus - Grades 10, 11, 12 (NCAA) 

1 credit (weighted)

This course is designed for the highly motivated and competent math student that experienced a lot of success in Honors Algebra I and/or who truly enjoys mathematics. The material covered in this course are all the topics included in College Pre-Calculus, but done in a more enriching environment, with additional units on inverses of trigonometric and circular functions, mathematical applications of trigonometric and circular functions, descriptive statistics, and an introduction to Calculus. Homework and peer collaboration are vital to success. Evaluation procedures will include testing, projects, and final examinations. Homework completion is vital to success in Honors Pre-Calculus. A graphing calculator from the Ti83/Ti84 series is required and utilized everyday with an emphasis on theory as well as application for this course.
