Pre-Calculus Mathematics is theoretical in nature with emphasis on the mastery of algebraic skills in preparation for higher level mathematics. This course will provide experiences that enable students to develop problem-solving skills, to gain confidence in their mathematical ability, to reason and to communicate mathematically.
Pre-Calculus students must have a strong background in and a facility for mathematics, as this course is demanding and briskly paced. Students are encouraged to write mathematics contests in addition to regular class work. This program provides a solid basis for the successful study of mathematics at the post-high school level.
Topics include:
- Quadratic functions and equations
- Trigonometry
- Rational and radical equations
- Absolute value
- Sequences
- Systems of equations
- Inequalities
*Student will need to achieve 60% in order to continue on in Pre-Calculus.
Prerequisite: Students need at least 60% in grade 10 pre-Calc or special permission to register for this class.
