Course Description:
Precalculus Pre-Advanced Placement moves at a faster pace and is designed to provide critical processing skills necessary for success in Advanced Placement Calculus. Students systematically work with functions and their multiple representations. The study of Precalculus deepens students` mathematical understanding and fluency with Algebra and Trigonometry and extends their ability to make connections and apply concepts and procedures at higher levels. Students are encouraged to have a graphing calculator TI- 83/TI-84 (or equivalent). Enrollment in designated GT courses will be limited to students who formally qualified for Gifted and Talented Services in LISD. If a GT course does not meet minimum enrollment requirements, it may need to be combined with the PAP/AP course offering. This course is waived for UIL eligibility.
