Are you searching for a Pre-Calculus 12 curriculum that will help your students master its topics so that if and when they hit Calculus they can not only survive but even thrive? And all the while still enjoying the course itself? Your search is over.

StudyForge proudly presents: Pre-Calculus 12.

Pre-Calculus 12 is the culmination of a students’ high school mathematical journey, as they learn the fundamentals of advanced functions, logarithms, trigonometric identities and more. The course thoroughly prepares students for the oncoming rigor of Calculus, yet does so in a manner that is compelling and rewarding, and fosters an appreciation for the real-life applications of each topic explored, as well as for math itself.

With auditory, visual, and hands-on components throughout, this is truly a course that suits all learning styles. The lessons are engaging, interactive and student-friendly, with interactive videos that allow students to pause and rewind at any point and go at their own speed, as well as fun, interactive applets and dynamic graphs scattered throughout that enhance student understanding.

Each video is accompanied by a student-friendly note package that allows students to take notes to whatever level of detail they like. There are also an abundance of practice questions for students to internalize the material, with full, detailed solutions for each, as well as a comprehensive review assignment and practice test. Furthermore, with randomized question banks, students can redo every quiz and test in the course to help them master the material and perform their very best.

This course is a prerequisite for students who might take Calculus in the future, whether in high school (Calculus 12 or AP Calculus) or in post-secondary.

See What Others Have to Say:

StudyForge has been an effective instructional program for students who are learning math. There are many visual representations as well as audio explanations on all the topics. Most of the practice questions provide both an answer and a solution to help students understand the procedures. From the teacher’s perspective, the course instruction can be easily rearranged for students who need a review of concepts from a previous grade.

I have been using the StudyForge math videos for a year now. The benefits were immediate as I was able to free up the time spent with my students to better track their progress and construct personalized learning goals. My students love the ease of use of the system and most of all, the increase in their test scores! I can’t ever imagine going back to a traditional classroom!

I think the videos are excellent. Unlike lectures, I can actually rewind back and forth as much as I want. In class, students kind of miss important information because they are busy writing notes.

I love the reporting tool. In my distributed learning context, seeing student’s work habits in a helpful format has become invaluable to me. I wouldn’t ever want to give one on one help to students again without the course overview report handy!
