Precalculus is the preparation for calculus. The course approaches topics from a function point of view, where appropriate, and is designed to
strengthen and enhance conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning used when modeling and solving mathematical and real-world
problems. Students systematically work with functions and their multiple representations. The study of Precalculus deepens students'
mathematical understanding and fluency with algebra and trigonometry and extends their ability to make connections and apply concepts and
procedures at higher levels. Students investigate and explore mathematical ideas, develop multiple strategies for analyzing complex
situations, and use technology to build understanding, make connections between representations, and provide support in solving problems.

Achieve Texas is a new state initiative that allows all students to achieve success by preparing them for secondary and
postsecondary opportunities, career preparation and advancement, meaningful work, and active citizenship. It centers on
establishing career pathway systems within 16 clusters. It is based on the belief that the curricula of the 21st century should
combine rigorous academics with relevant career education. Harlandale ISD provides courses that follow a coherent
sequence in some of the pathways except those pathways in the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources cluster.
As part of the requirements of the Career and Technology Program, eighth (8 th) grade students select a career preference in
the form of a Career Pathway. In grades 9-11 students are advised of the available coherent sequence of courses in their
chosen Career Pathway, and at this time students can amend their selection of career area. A coherent sequence should
include 2 or more courses in the same career area for 3 or more credits.
