This pre-calculus course is the culmination of all math courses, with the addition of Trigonometry.  Students learn how algebra and geometry are related and applied in the real world.

Topics include:

• Basic statistics, and sequences and series
• Number systems, graphs, systems of equations
• Functions, including polynomial functions, power functions and rational functions
• Exponential and logarithmic functions
• Trigonometric functions with real-world applications
• Analytic trigonometry and appropriate applications
• Analytic geometry in two and three dimensions
• SAT/ACT preparation throughout the year, skills essential for standardized testing.
• Development of logical reasoning and thinking skills
• Organization and study skills, to be a more independent learner

Students who complete this class should be well prepared to enter a college level calculus course.  It is imperative that students enrolling in PreCal have a working knowledge of Geometry and Algebra 2.  This is a very fast-paced class. Teacher recommendation is required for this class.  If you have questions about class placement, please contact me as early as possible so that decisions may be made in a timely manner to allow the student maximum success in their math studies.

If a student drops the class after September 15th, there will be a withdrawal fee of two months' tuition. For all monthly tuition paid after the 10^th of the month, a $10 late fee will be assessed.  To reserve your student’s place in the class, you need to pay the Supply Fee ($50) and the first month’s tuition ($100).  [Tuition covers both class days.]

Students should expect to spend 3 – 6 hours outside of class on their work per week. The class meets 1½ hours on Monday and 1½ hours on Wednesday for a total of 3 hours per week. This class will earn the student 1 high school honors credit in math.
