The mathematical “step” from Algebra 2 to Trigonometry/Pre-Calcus AB can be very challenging as this rigorous course is fast-paced and tailored to prepare students for AP Calculus AB. There are several topics covered in the Honors Algebra 2 class which Algebra 2 does not cover, due to pacing constraints. Students who do not take the time to catch up on the missing topics find it difficult to be successful in Trig/Pre-Calc. AB. The Algebra 2 staff met and came up with a brief list of topics students need to learn over the summer in order to bridge this knowledge gap. This assignment is not mandatory but highly recommended.
