Pre-Calculus Honors EVP

Description:

This course will cover topics common to most traditional pre-calculus courses such as the following: linear and quadratic functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, polar coordinates, and vectors. It also incorporates topics including probability, statistics, and an introduction to limits.

Applications to real-world events and graphing calculators are extensively woven into the course.

Special Instructions:

Students need access to a scanner or digital camera (phone is fine) in order to submit work for the teacher to review. Students will also need a TI-84 graphing calculator for this course.

The honors track includes a deeper focus on critical thinking and analytical skills by providing students with more challenging problems and assignments. These elements will prepare students to be successful in future upper-level and AP courses.

The recommended sequence for students wishing to pursue advanced math classes: MATH150, MATH250, MATH350, MATH400, followed by their choice of MATH500, MATH510, or MATH520.

This course is not dual credit eligible. If you desire to seek dual credit for this course, you must take the DC version of the course.
