Post-Algebra II, Pre-Precalculus Summer Packet (Concepts epected to be understood upon entering Precalculus course) Name Grade Level School Teacher In order to be successful in a Precalculus course at the high-school level, a student needs to have a firm grasp of the material covered in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. This packet is an attempt to highlight the skills obtained in those courses that are used most often in a Precalculus course. During the school year, other skills that may not be covered in this packet will be necessary for success in a Precalculus class, but this packet should serve as a guide to the skills considered most vital. Parents are requested to see that this assignment is completed properly and seriously. Your child s success in the first semester depends on the correct completion of this packet and on understanding of the concepts covered. Answer key will be available on http://debakeyhigh.weebly.com/ or http://www.houstonisd.org/page/114414 after May 1, 017. If you realize later that you need another packet or a different packet, you can just download a copy from this link. PRE-CALCULUS STUDY PACKET ( ) y z if 1. Evaluate 6, y, z 7.. Solve 5 a 5 4 6..
