INTRODUCTION TO HIGH SCHOOL CALCULUS CONCEPTS
Entering Grades 9-12 – This course will introduce students to limits, derivatives, differentiation and integration. Students will learn about concepts of calculus so they are better prepared for calculus courses during the academic year. They will improve their understanding of equations, graphs and proofs, including the study of vectors and polar coordinates, advanced inequalities and series. The class will transition from advanced applications of key precalculus concepts
to more traditional calculus problems. Students will study and apply a combination of graphical, numerical and symbolic representations as they gain familiarity with each of the key calculus concepts throughout the course.
• Required materials: Students will need a pencil, eraser, small ruler, graph paper and TI-84 (or equivalent) calculator for every class session.
These six-week STEM classes will be taught online.
INTRODUCTION TO HIGH SCHOOL TRIGONOMETRY*
Entering Grades 9-12 – Students in this class will learn how to convert to radians, find arc and sector lengths, and study the six preliminary trigonometric functions. Students will use the terminal ray of an angle in standard position, graph the functions and use the unit circle.
• Required materials: Students will need a pencil, eraser, small ruler, graph paper and TI-84 (or equivalent) calculator for every class session.
