Pre-algebra Glencoe
Pre Algebra Glencoe
Ready for Pre-Calc? given my previous math coursework: Contemporary Mathematics In Context: course 1-3?
I have taken courses 1-3 of Contemporary Mathematics in Context: A Unified Approach by Glencoe and I am transferring into another school and I want to take Pre-Calculus, however, I am concerned given the integrated approach to my mathematics curriculum was not algebraically intensive. It was more graphical and symbolic in nature. Will I need to take Algebra II to gain these strengths or am I prepared. My curriculum introduced many topics from statistics, geometry, discrete maths (sequences and series, matricies, and others). I need a suggestion from someone who knows the curriculum inside and out… Thanks
I never seen contemporary mathematics in context: a unified approach; but I do know the calculus series pretty well.
For your typical pre-calculus course, you will learn trig functions (as far as sin, cos, tan goes) as well as formulating degs and rads from them. If you know what i’m talking about, you’re more than prepared. However, in bare minimum to take the course, I recommend you brush up on your algebra in terms of quickly breaking apart equations and reforming them to solve for variables and geometry in terms of the circle.
Your advanced pre-calc class adds on derivatives to the above towards the end of the year. This topic is very fun and easy once you understand the regular pre-calc stuff.
Pre-Calc is nothing. Just pay close attention as it is VERY easy to fall behind with.
