Precalculus I is a problem-solving-based and rigorous overview of functions that model change. We will cover a variety of functions (linear, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic) and represent them algebraically, numerically, graphically, and verbally. There will be an emphasis on context-based problem solving, collaborative learning, and developing mathematical thinking. Students who successfully complete precaclulus I will be prepared for precalculus II. A graphing calculator is required. Collaborative learning will be a fundamental component of the course. Students will participate in daily group activities and complete homework assignments. There will be group take-home quizzes as well as in-class individual quizzes and exams. Precalculus I is an excellent preparation for students interested in studying science, economics, education, and environmental studies.
