The lessons and activities in this course are designed to thoughtfully prepare students for AP Calculus or other math courses at the collegiate level. The course begins with an in-depth study of function families, with a focus on connecting multiple representations, followed by an advanced investigation of trigonometry and its applications, including polar graphs, parametric equations, and vectors. The course continues with a unit on sequences and series before finishing off the year with an accessible and engaging introduction to the big ideas of Calculus. Students completing this course will be well prepared for AP math classes and equipped to earn credit on the College Board CLEP test for Precalculus.
