Mathematics Course Options for the next two years AP Calculus AB versus BC Accelerated Integrated Precalculus vs. Integrated Trigonometry Honors
Degrees and radians Six trigonometric functions Identical to AIP AIP VS ITH-Unit 1 “Introduction to Trigonometry”
Characteristics Transformations Real-world contexts Values Characteristics of functions and graphs Identical to AIP AIP VS ITH-Unit 2 “Graphs & Inverses of Trigonometric Functions”
Simplify trigonometric expressions Verify trigonometric identities Identical to AIP AIP VS ITH-Unit 3 “Trigonometric Identities”
Solving Trigonometric Equations Area of a Triangle Vectors Complex Numbers Parametric Equations Polar Equations Identical to AIP except expressing numbers in trigonometric form, exploring parametric curves, and exploring polar equations AIP VS ITH-Unit 4 “Extended Trigonometry”
Compare and contrast functions Transformation of functions Composition of functions Identical to AIP AIP VS ITH-Unit 5 “Investigations of Functions”
Characteristics Inverses Solving rational equations Identical to AIP AIP VS ITH-Unit 6 “Rational Functions”
Recursive and explicit formulas Arithmetic and Geometric sequences Limits of sequences Mathematical induction Sums of finite and infinite arithmetic & geometric series Identical to AIP except investigating limits of sequences, mathematical induction, and limits of geometric series AIP VS ITH-Unit 7 “Sequences and Series”
Central Limit Theorem Margin of Error & Confidence Intervals Identical to AIP AIP VS ITH-Unit 8 “Data Analysis”
Advantages to AIP • Early integration with accelerated math students • Pacing • Rigor • Opportunity to enroll in AP Calculus BC • Teacher experience and “tested” curriculum • Seven Honor points
Student Expectations: • Do homework every night – not just before test or at end of semester so you can get credit. • Take notes during class. • Exhibit good work ethic – no slacking off! • Come in for extra help when needed.
Teacher Expectations: • Have optional prerequisite skills packet on-line that can be done this summer • Hold before school help sessions 2 days each week (after school sessions will be held when needed) • Post calendar for the month on-line • Hold study sessions in preparation for the new GHSGT
Assessments: • Higher level thinking questions will be included • Will have one or more assessments during each chapter • Will prepare students to take NEW GHSGT
Enrolling in AIP • Pre-registration window • Teacher recommendation • Parent approval • Course verification forms
