Level Up Your Precalculus Class
Level Up Your Precalculus Class
If you or your school are still deliberating whether to offer AP® Precalculus next year, this webinar will help! Paul Battaglia, author, consultant, and teacher, will guide participants through ways in which they can begin with a single question stem and then branch into various topics and/or representations. How can a question about the linear velocity of a Ferris wheel turn into a deeper task with multiple parts, covering multiple Precalculus topics? How can you take three basic polynomial functions and branch from the analytical to the numerical to the graphical, AND cover asymptotes, exponential functions, and logarithmic equations?
View this webinar to see how it’s done! This type of questioning is guaranteed to have your students thinking laterally, and THAT will level up any Precalculus class.

The need for financial literacy and numeracy education in our schools is undeniable. The goal of this presentation is to offer teachers a rationale and framework for creating and teaching a quantitative financial literacy mathematics course that is applications oriented.
Join Dr. Richard Sgroi, author, and mathematics teacher, to learn how to model finance using advanced algebra to assist students in seeing the relevance of the mathematics they are learning — using it in the contexts of spending, banking, credit, auto and home ownership, investments, entrepreneurship, and more.
In this webinar replay, you will learn:
- Methods to introduce the finance, build strength in the mathematics, and assist in making that mathematics transferrable to other contexts.
- Mathematical and analytical tools to make sense of and look for trends in areas of students' present and future lives where financial decisions must be made.
- How to create and use functions to model real-world financial situations.
- What to tell students when they ask: "When are we ever going to use this?" — "Every day of your lives!"
