White Station High – Unit Outline

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Unit 1: Polynomial and Rational Functions Unit 2: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Unit 3: Trigonometric and Polar Functions Unit 4: Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices. All students enrolled in an AP course are required to take the course’s AP exam. AP Precalculus Grades 11-12 One Credit/One Year Prerequisite: Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry Following College Board’s course framework designed to parallel college-level precalculus courses, AP Precalculus provides students with an understanding of the concepts of college algebra, trigonometry, and additional topics that prepare students for further college-level mathematics courses. This course explores polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, polar, parametric, and linear transformation functions and their applications. Throughout the course, the mathematical practices of procedural and symbolic fluency, multiple representations, and communication and reasoning are developed. Students experience the concepts and skills related to each function type through the lenses of modeling and covariation, and engage each function type through their analytical, verbal, numerical, and graphical representations.
