[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The traditional FCPS precalc curriculum is almost identical to the AP precalculus curriculum, so schools were heavily encouraged to only offer the AP version so students could get the benefit of weighted grades and potential college credit for taking the same course they would have otherwise. —math teacher[/quote] This must vary because my DC's math teacher said it was different and an adjustment for her. The AP goes very in depth for Algebra 2 topics for some reason. [/quote] Since precalc was a non tested subject (no SOL or AP), it would not surprise me at all if some teachers/schools went off script and did their own thing. Central office mapped the county/state standards to the AP standards though, and it was almost identical. Maybe not length of time on topic, but purely based on bullet points they were supposed to be pretty similar.[/quote]
