US Grade 9 - 12
This is a 16-week live course. We will be studying Pre-calculus, an important prerequisite for Calculus or for studying a STEM based career. We will meet twice a week to cover topics in the syllabus. Each class will have various approaches to learning. There will be a PowerPoint presentation, guided practice and interactive assessments to test understanding. Students will have the opportunity discuss and writing on the online whiteboard, as well. My style is to investigate each student's previous knowledge, demonstrate the lesson and have students try on their own. Patience and perseverance are important in this course. By keeping the class size small, students will have full interaction with the teacher and each other. Before taking this class, students should have successfully completed Algebra II and Geometry.
Learning Goals
Students will learn Pre-Calculus principles and concepts to prepare them for Calculus or for STEM based careers.
