(夏) 準備しましょう! 5 週間で微積分の準備

This course is designed to help high school students who are going to take Calculus in the Fall or Spring or students who completed Precalculus but may have struggled. In this summer session, we will review essential algebraic concepts from Algebra and Geometry that will set students up for success in Calculus.

I strongly recommend that students create a notebook specifically for this course that they can take with them and use as a reference in their next class. 

Class Structure:
10 minutes - Concept introduction through "Try It/What Do You Remember?" questions
30 minutes - Guided practice and note-taking
15 minutes - Independent practice

Week 1:
Day 1 - General Functions and Analyzing Behavior
Day 2 - Piecewise Functions

Week 2:
Day 1 - Solving Quadratic, Radical, and Rational Equations
Day 2 - Polynomial Expressions and Factoring

Week 3:
