| Pre-Calculus Grade Level(s):10-12 Offered as a year-long course Prerequisites: Algebra II The basic trigonometric functions are introduced and developed through their graphs and algebraic properties. Trigonometric solutions of triangles, manipulation of identities and the solutions of trigonometric equations are stressed. Functions, graphs, slopes continuity, limits and differentiation are covered. AP Statistics/Probability Prerequisite(s): C or better in Core Plus Math III or successful completion of Geometry and Algebra II; Teacher recommendation required. This class is worth one additional GPA point. In this course, students will be immersed in real world problems that can only be solved with statistical methods. Students will learn to explore, summarize, and display data; design surveys and experiments; use probability to understand random behavior; make inferences about populations by looking at samples from those populations; and make inferences about the effect of treatments from designed experiments. The College Board Advanced Placement exam will be offered to those successfully completing the course. Appropriate scores on the exam are worth college credit at many institutions. AP grades are weighted. Core Plus Math I Prerequisite(s): Pre Core-Plus mathematics or recommendation of previous math instructor. This course includes Algebra, Geometry, Probability and Statistics and Discrete mathematics. |
