Insider Information

Students need a solid foundation in Honors Algebra II and Precalculus to be successful in the college algebra and precalculus units. There are at least 3 projects during the year. The first project is in the statistics unit, and it is based upon college costs. The second project is on the application of sine curves. We end the year prepping for any math placement exams that students may be required to take before college. This will be an excellent review of key concepts from geometry through precalculus.
