About

Taking Precalculus next year? We'll be covering the most important things you'll need to know.
﻿
I'm basing this series on the Glencoe textbook I used last year in Honors Precalculus. However, I'll skip some units to focus on covering topics that are emphasized on the AP Precalculus exam (which I got a 5 on, without studying, purely based on the curriculum in this textbook!).
﻿
I'm going to be trying my best to make this series as interactive as possible! We'll be solving tons of problems together and you'll get a chance to share your explanations and methods with everyone.

Hi! I'm an incoming university student with a passion for law, education, and psychology. When I'm not listening to music, you can find me reading poetry, baking, or crocheting. I’ve taken a wide variety of AP courses (listed below) and have been a part of various teams here at Schoolhouse—I'm currently a coach and a User Support co-lead. If you have any questions or want to review topics together, feel free to reach out (preferably via Slack, I respond a lot faster there)—I’d love to help! APs: Calculus, Comparative Government, English Language, English Literature, Environmental Science, European History, French, Precalculus, Psychology, Statistics, US Government, US History

Review Game!
We covered most of the foundational information that you'll need next year for precalculus. While we couldn't go through everything, I hope this series was helpful! We can do a quick review game to review all the topics we learned. 
﻿
I'll also share some additional resources that you might want to consider using next year.
