Math 12 PC
Welcome to my Math 12 Pre-Calculus page.
I will periodically post links for related web activities here that will supplement the concepts being studied in class. For class handouts or notes, use the links below.
If you need a graphing calculator for homework, try this site (on your computer or as an App for your smart phone/ipad):Â
Desmos: https://www.desmos.com/calculatorÂ
Some animations to support Trigonometry are available here:Â Â
U. of Waterloo Pre-Calc 12 Support
An excellent resource to support your learning can be found here: Â https://courseware.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/8?gid=122
It contains course material for a typical Pre-Calculus 12 course with video lessons, quizzes, homework exercises and full solutions for most topics we'll be studying this year, as well as reviewing important concepts required from earlier courses. Excellent for test preparation as well as remedial support for topics you are weak on, or missed completely.Â
What follows in the drop-down menus for each unit are links to specific concepts we'll be studying.
