Pre Calculus 16-17

This class is for students who are looking for the most challenging mathematics class, with a view of taking the Higher Level IB mathematics course in their junior and senior years.

Students will build on the skills they developed during the Algebra II Honors course, becoming better at analyzing problems, working accurately, and explaining their methods. They will deepen their knowledge of trigonometry and algebra, and be introduced to the differentiation and integration of simple functions. They will also use these calculus skills to solve problems involving slopes of lines and areas under curves, and to solve kinematics problems.

Assessments consist of homework, in-class quizzes and tests, and mathematical portfolio assignments.
