Description
This class is designed to build on Algebra 2 and Geometry foundations in order to prepare for college math or Calculus.
Students can choose to come to class, listen, participate and they will learn. ⭐⭐ The very best way to learn will be to practice the concepts.⭐⭐
Precalulus is a rigorous course that combines many of the concepts that have been learned previously.
This year I am piloting online practice with DeltaMath. Paper assignments will be available for those that would rather have that. When you sign up, you will be given a DeltaMath account that you can choose to practice with. I have found that everyone learns in different ways and sometimes we need a mixture of Desmos, DeltaMath and paper assignments to really learn and enjoy the content.
Assessments will be given at minimum once a unit. If you would like a grade, I am happy to give it to along with a report card. If you would rather a Pass/Fail class, please let me know and I will let you know the individualized criteria. I will also look for informal and individualized ways to assess knowledge.
Students should have a TI -84 Calculator or equivalent (can be online) we will learn to use technology as well as how to solve problems by hand. I am a big fan of the TI-84 CE calculator but there are phone apps that simulate it.
