Pre-Calculus Teacher Resources

Pre-Calculus has some detailed formulas involved and here is a great resource that lumps then all together for you. Broken up into rectangular, polar, and parametric sections, the conics all include formulas and graphs. 

In this pre-calculus instructional activity, student solve 35 multiple choice problems and then place the answers in a Sudoku puzzle form. This instructional activity would be a great warm up or fun test review.

Students will solve exponential function problems, graph exponential functions, find the value of logarithms, determine future value, and compound interest. In this Pre-calculus lesson, students will use the properties of logs to solve...

Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson plan, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

Assess pupil understanding of the relationship between matrices, vectors, linear transformations, and parametric equations. Questions range from recall to more complex levels of thinking. Problems represent topics learned throughout the...

Assess your classes' knowledge using questions that require high-level thinking and explanation. Learners use matrices to answer application questions. They also demonstrate their understanding of matrix operations.

Determine if any reteaching with a mid-module assessment task. The assessment covers the general multiplication rule, permutations and combinations, and probability distributions for discrete random variables.

Challenge scholars to show what they know about properties and addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions. The resource provides a mid-unit check on the progress toward mastery of trigonometric concepts. The areas...

Challenge your scholars to show what they know about the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and inverses. The six-question assessment is the last in a series of 16. Pupils find the area of triangles and show that the Law of Sines and Law of...

In this pre-calculus worksheet, 11th graders recall the three forms of the law of cosines and used it to solve problems involving triangles. They also write out the laws of sines and use those to solve problems with angles. There are 15...

In this pre-calculus worksheet, students solve 20 problems in order to determine the "Droodle." Each correct answer the students achieve will be associated with a letter, that letter will be used to uncover the identity of a strange...

In this pre-calculus worksheet, students solve for angles formed by a tangent line and a circle. There are 6 different worksheets containing 8-10 problems per sheet.

In this pre-calculus activity, students calculate the velocity of a linear graph by observing the slope of a line. There are 10 velocity questions.

Your pre-calculus learners will make use of this wonderful cheat sheet that summarizes all things trigonometric. Definitions based on both the unit circle and the right triangle are included, as well as many convenient trigonometric...

A neat and organized formula handout makes the circle go round, doesn't it? Full of higher algebra topics, formulas and rules, graphs and definitions—there is a way to support everyone in Algebra II or Pre-Calculus. 

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus activity, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

In this identities learning exercise, students match equivalent expressions containing sine, cosine, and tangent.  They solve equations, find intervals, and determine all solutions to an interval.  Students prove given identities.  This...

Students are given a description of a scenario of Professor Fink searching for a group of children. When he finds them, he states that he can express their location as a function of his hand. Students analyze the scenario and determine...

After an introductory activity to demonstrate the theory of a limit, additional activities approach a limit from graphical, numerical, and algebraic methods. The activity looks at the multiple ways of understanding and evaluating a limit. 

In this Pre-Calculus/Calculus worksheet, students graph polynomial functions, identifying the x- and y-intercepts as well as end behavior.  The two page worksheet contains sixty problems.  Answers are included. 

Sequences and series are traditionally thought of as topics for the pre-calculus or calculus class, when learners are figuring out how to develop limits. But this unit uses patterns and slopes of linear functions in unique ways to bring...

In this pre-calculus review worksheet, students solve 28 multiple choice problems. Students find the trigonometric values of various angles, find the eccentricity of an ellipse, use trigonometric identities solve compounded interest...

In this college level Pre-Calculus worksheet students evaluate rational functions, identify the domain, vertical asymptotes, and x- and y-intercepts.  The three page worksheet contains forty problems.  Answers are provided.
