What We Cover in Precalculus

Every topic in the Precalculus curriculum — taught for genuine understanding, not just test performance.

Unit 1
Functions & Transformations
Function notation, domain and range, transformations (shift, reflect, stretch), composition, and inverses.
Unit 2
Polynomial & Rational Functions
End behavior, zeros, asymptotes, holes, and graphing rational functions.
Unit 3
Exponential & Logarithmic Functions
Exponential models, log properties, natural log, solving equations, and applications.
Unit 4
Trigonometric Functions
The unit circle, graphing trig and inverse trig functions, and modeling with sinusoidal functions.
Unit 5
Trig Identities & Equations
Sum/difference, double-angle identities, and solving trig equations on specified intervals.
Unit 6
Vectors
Vector magnitude and direction, vector operations, dot product, and angle between vectors.
Unit 7
Polar Coordinates
Converting between rectangular and polar, graphing polar equations, and polar-form complex numbers.
Unit 8
Sequences, Series & Binomial Theorem
Arithmetic and geometric sequences and series, sigma notation, binomial theorem expansion.
Unit 9
Limits Introduction
Intuitive approach to limits, one-sided limits, limits at infinity, and continuity — direct Calculus preparation.
Learning Outcomes

What Your Child Will Be Able to Do

Students leave the programme with complete function mastery, deep trigonometric understanding, and the confidence to excel in AP Calculus.

Function Mastery
Complete Function Mastery
Students can analyze, graph, and transform any function class they will encounter in AP Calculus.
Calculus Bridge
Limits Demystified
The limit concept that defines all of Calculus is introduced intuitively — so AP Calculus day one is not a shock.
Trigonometry
Trig Synthesis
All trig skills from previous courses unified — the unit circle, identities, and graphing all consolidated for Calculus use.
Readiness
AP Calculus AB/BC Ready
Students who master Precalculus enter AP Calculus with genuine readiness — not just nominal credit for the prerequisite.

Student Reviews

What Families Are Saying

Families trust Concept Mastery for expert Precalculus support and seamless preparation for AP Calculus.

★★★★★
"My son breezed through Algebra 2 but hit a wall in Precalculus. The function transformation and limits units were completely new concepts. His CM teacher connected it all to what he already knew. He entered AP Calculus confident."

★★★★★
"The limits unit in Precalculus saved my daughter in AP Calculus. Her CM teacher spent three sessions just on limit intuition before the formal definition. She said it was the most useful math she ever learned."

FAQ

Common Questions About Precalculus

What makes Precalculus different from Algebra 2?
Precalculus synthesizes Algebra 2 and Trig content and adds new topics — vectors, polar coordinates, and limits. It is the final preparation for the entirely new thinking that Calculus requires.
Do you cover AP Calculus prerequisites specifically?
Yes — our Precalculus programme is taught with AP Calculus readiness as the explicit goal. The limits unit is given particular emphasis as it is the conceptual foundation of all Calculus.
What if my child took Algebra 2 and Trig separately?
That is the ideal preparation for Precalculus. We will build on both courses and fill any gaps identified in the free assessment.
