Description

Pre-Calculus reviews and builds on the skills learned in Algebra II. Through the extensive use of technology, graphing, and real-world modeling students not only strengthen their algebraic skills, but begin to prepare for the rigors of Calculus. Topics covered include functions, trigonometry, polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, inequalities, systems, and sequences. As a sheltered course, extensive focus is given to improving mathematic-specific vocabulary along with the overall goal of improving English language proficiency.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the learner will be prepared for high school Calculus courses to the satisfaction and standards of The Kiski School and OESISx.
