High School Pre-Calculus Curriculum
The Time4Learning Precalculus curriculum is one of five math courses offered at the high school level. Students can expect to see various concepts being covered including derivatives, logarithmic functions, curve sketching, solving vertical motion problems and more.
Precalculus is taught using a combination of multimedia lessons, instructional videos, worksheets, quizzes, tests and both online and offline projects.
Members often use this page as a resource for more detailed planning, as a guide to help select activities using the activity finder, or to compare our curriculum with state standards and homeschooling laws.
