HS1 Pre Calculus

Pre-Calculus 468101H Honors Career Ed, Elective, Advanced Math (*for Pre 9th Grade Algebra/Geometry students) In Pre-Calculus, students will study advanced concepts in preparation for Calculus and/or other college level mathematics courses. Students should leave the course fluent in the manipulation of complex equations, understanding of mathematical relationships, and the ability to communicate and justify their thinking. All students should regularly be engaged in the Standards for Mathematical Practice as defined by the Common Core. Mathematical content should be addressed through the study of big ideas allowing students to see the connections between multiple concepts. The mathematical content of Pre-Calculus includes Operations with Complex Numbers, Vectors and Matrices, Inverse Functions, Composition of Functions, Trigonometric Functions and Identities, and Probability.

In an honors class, students will be expected to develop more advanced problem-solving methods and precisely communicate their in-depth understanding of the mathematical concepts covered. Students will also be asked to make connections across mathematical ideas while justifying their thinking and strategies. Successful completion of Pre-Calculus H will prepare students for future AP or college level coursework in mathematics.
