Minimum Recommended Pre(or Co)-Requisite: Biology 11Pre-AP Algebra 2 has four main units. Their key topics and recommended length are outlined here: Unit 1: Modeling with Function (~3 lessons) Unit 2: Algebra of Functions (~5 lessons) Unit 3: Function Families (~6 lessons) Unit 4T: Trigonometric Functions (~4 lessons)
In Pre-AP Algebra 2, students solidify and extend the understanding of functions and data analysis developed in prior courses.
Students build upon linear, quadratic, and exponential functions as they work to define logarithmic, polynomial, rational, square root, cube root, and trigonometric functions. Quantitative literacy is developed by weaving data sets, contextual scenarios, and mathematical modeling throughout the course.
Pre-AP is meant to prepare students for AP.
Areas of Focus
The Pre-AP mathematics areas of focus are vertically aligned to the mathematical practices that are fundamental to the discipline of mathematics in high school, AP courses, and beyond. This gives students multiple opportunities to think and work like mathematicians as they develop and strengthen these disciplinary reasoning skills throughout their education:
Connections among multiple representations: Students represent mathematical concepts in a variety of forms and move fluently among the forms.
Greater authenticity of applications and modeling: Students create and use mathematical models to understand and explain authentic scenarios.
Engagement in mathematical argumentation: Students use evidence to craft mathematical conjectures and prove or disprove them.
Unit Foundations
These big ideas are addressed across units:
Functions
Operations with Functions
Inverse Functions
Course at a Glance
Pre-AP Algebra 2 has four main units, with two options for Unit 4. Their key topics and recommended length are outlined here:
Unit 1: Modeling with Function (~3 Lessons)
Unit 2: Algebra of Functions (~4 Lessons)
Unit 3: Function Families (~6 Lessons)
Unit 4T: Trigonometric Functions (~5 Lessons)
This course will be using the flipped classroom approach, as such videos and assignments will be assigned to be completed outside of the class sessions. During meeting times, we will focus on a question and answer format to best utilize the brief period of time collectively together. We will be meeting via Zoom.
The content, assignments, and assessments will be based upon the Pre-AP Course and Exam Description (CED) available in the Pre-AP Classroom website or here.
Please note that this is a combined class. Students who have not yet reached an Algebra II level will be placed in Pre-AP Algebra I.
