Assessment

This Precalculus 12 course will include both formative (learning and practice through assignments and quizzes) and summative (demonstrating understanding through tests) assessments. Formative activities are designed to help students build their understanding, while summative assessments will carry greater weight as they represent the culmination of the student’s learning and skills.
