This course will incorporate college-level algebra and trigonometry to prepare students for the study of calculus. In this course graphing calculator technology will be used to enhance and support the mathematics concepts. Students focus on the use of technology, modeling, and problem solving. Students use a variety of techniques to solve problems graphically, numerically, and algebraically and to translate between these solution types. Students practice verbal and nonverbal communication skills to explain the math concepts analytically, graphically and algebraically using evidence from mathematics. Pre-Calculus combines many of the algebraic, geometric, and trigonometric techniques needed to prepare students for the study of calculus. The units in this course also strengthen their conceptual understanding of problems and mathematical reasoning in solving problems. This course also takes a functional point of view. The most significant new concept in this course is that of evaluating limits of functions.
