Course Description For AP Calculus BC

AP Precalculus is a college-level Advanced Placement course that builds a strong foundation in functions, trigonometry, and math modeling. First, students study polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. In addition, they learn to read graphs, solve problems, and apply math concepts to real-world situations. Students also use algebraic and graphical methods to explore patterns and relationships. Moreover, the course strengthens critical thinking, problem-solving, and math communication skills. As a result, students prepare for the AP Precalculus Exam and build a strong foundation for future studies in calculus, engineering, computer science, economics, and other STEM fields.

Skills You'll Learn

✓ Working with functions, equations, and expressions
✓ Connecting equations, graphs, tables, and data
✓ Solving problems using algebraic and graphical methods
✓ Explaining math ideas and supporting conclusions

Course Content

Unit Title Expectations Summary Focus
1 Polynomial and Rational Functions First, students study rates of change, zeros, end behavior, asymptotes, holes, transformations, and models using polynomial and rational functions. Function Analysis
2 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Next, students build exponential and logarithmic models, solve equations, study inverse relationships, and evaluate regression models. Growth Models
3 Trigonometric and Polar Functions In addition, students explore periodic patterns, trigonometric functions, inverse functions, equations, polar coordinates, and polar graphs. Trigonometry
4 Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices Then, students extend their study of functions through parametric functions, planar motion, conic sections, vectors, matrices, transformations, and real-world models. Extended Modeling
Final AP Precalculus Modeling Project and Review Finally, students complete a modeling project using numerical, graphical, and written evidence. As a result, they strengthen their skills for AP-style multiple-choice and free-response questions. AP Preparation
