AP® Precalculus: Polar Functions and Rates of Change

When: Tuesday, March 4, 2025 | 7 p.m. Central time
Technology: TI-84 Plus Series, TI‑Nspire™ Series
Presenters: Gail Burrill, Greg Foley

This webinar will focus on polar functions in AP® Precalculus.

We will revisit core function concepts including rates of change and language to describe the behavior of polar functions, building from earlier work with other function types.

Our presenters will also share some conceptually fragile ideas, investigate some applications, and discuss possible assessment items. This session will use both TI-84 CE and TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculators.
