Precalculus Enrollment Form

Regular class meeting Thursdays 2-4pm, homework help Tuesdays 12-1pm. Students can attend in person or online for homework help. 

This is a course for high school students who have completed Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2.

This course will be taught using Investigations and real world applications.  In the Investigation approach students work in groups to do exercises that lead them step by step through their own discovery process, and then come together for lecture and discussion.  Each class will be packed full of activity, a focus on deeply understanding the core concepts and their applications, and often a game or two !

This course primarily focuses on functions. Functions covered will include polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, and polar functions, including complex numbers. Students will also be introduced to vectors and matrices and to the concepts of rate of change and derivatives.

This class is A-G aligned and can be taken as regular or honors. The course material will also prepare students who are interested in taking the A.P. Precalculus exam on their own. Students who need A-G credit through a charter school need to download the full course syllabus (below) and send it to their charter school for approval. Private home school students should save the syllabus and course final for their records.

Cost: $285 per semester for private pay, $336 per semester for charter schools. Most charter schools accepted through Home School Coaches. The cost includes all classroom handouts - no parent printing responsibilities as long as students come to class in person !

Book: Course reader with homework problems compiled from open source materials. $10 discount if you chose to use the electronic version instead.

Dates: September 3 - May 27
