HONORS PRE-
CALCULUS
Grades 11, 12
1 Credit Prerequisite(s): See Below
Precalculus provides preparation for calculus and statistics. Students
gain insights into the structure and unity of mathematics, gain
understanding of more advanced concepts in mathematics, and
increase their abilities to accomplish mathematical manipulations.
The topics include advanced algebra, trigonometry, analytic
geometry, informal limits and continuity, sequences and series, conic
sections, and an introduction to matrix algebra. The TI 83+ or TI 84
graphing calculator is employed as a tool of inquiry for portions of
the course.

Honors Prerequisite(s): B- or better in Algebra 2 (5131) and a B in
Geometry (5121) and Teacher recommendation
Precalculus (5154) is a continuation of the program for students who
plan to enroll in AP Calculus (5161) in twelfth grade.
(5155)
CCP Prerequisite(s): C or better in Algebra 2 (5131 or 5132) and a B
in Geometry (5122)
Precalculus is a continuation of the program for students who plan to
enroll in Calculus (5160).
HONORS
CALCULUS
Grade 12
1 Credit
(5160)
Honors Prerequisite(s): C+ or better in Precalculus (5154 or 5155)
This course develops the fundamentals of differentiation and
integration. Emphasis is placed on problems dealing with area,
volume, related rates, work, and maximum and minimum. The
outline of this course is closely aligned with AP Calculus AB, with
the exception of sequence and series. The TI 83+ or TI 84 graphing
calculator will be used as a tool of inquiry.
AP CALCULUS
AB
Grade 12
1 Credit
(5161)
AP Prerequisite(s): B or better in Precalculus (5154 or 5155)
AP Calculus AB course follows the rigorous college level curriculum
established by the College Board. Students are expected to show a
high degree of initiative and self-directed learning. This course
develops fundamentals of differentiation and integration. Emphasis
is placed on problems dealing with area, volume, length of curve and
distance, related rates, work, and maximum and minimum. In
addition, sequence and series are developed. The TI 83+ or TI 84
graphing calculator is used in the course. Students enrolled in this
course are required to take the AP exam at the end of the year.
