Product description

From the author

If you are a high school math teacher, finding resources that best serve your students is of the utmost importance! This is a Precalculus Word Wall that is filled with practical concepts that your students can use right away. Both teachers and students greatly benefit from having a quick visual reference for topics that were covered last week (or last semester).

This Word Wall is printed in bold and bright colors to stand out in your classroom. It consists of over 120 concepts.

Sheets will include a title and a subtopic. They will also include a small box at the bottom right-hand corner for a sheet number so you can direct students to a specific sheet. It is purposely left blank to give you the flexibility to rearrange sheets and number them however you’d like.

Some sheets will need to be combined because they are too big to fit on one sheet. An “incomplete” border on the sheet indicates topic extends to multiple pages.

For a long lasting resource, after printing, I suggest laminating each one of the pages. If wall space allows, post sheets as you cover them in class and leave them up throughout the year. If space is limited, print sheets half-size or replace sheets after completing a unit of study.

In addition to using them as posters, this resource may be used in math centers, or as guidance for individual work, or for group work.

The topics included are:

--Properties of Functions

--Key Features of Functions

--Polynomial Functions

--Complex Numbers

--Rational Functions

--Exponentials & Logarithms

--Trig Functions

--Trig Identities

--Vectors

--Matrices

--Conic Sections

--Sequences & Series

I hope you enjoy!

  • Locate a needed precalculus definition or representation on a topic sheet

  • Connect related subtopics within a larger unit

  • Interpret symbolic, verbal, and graphical forms shown on a reference display

Teaching tips

  • Number the sheets only after deciding the classroom display order.

  • Place multi-page concepts together by matching their incomplete borders.

Skills covered

  • Mathematical vocabulary — topic sheets define and label precalculus ideas.

  • Representation — words, symbols, formulas, and graphs appear together.

  • Reference navigation — topic, subtopic, and numbering cues support retrieval.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Can I change the order of the sheets?

Yes. Number boxes are left blank so you can arrange the references to follow your lessons. Join sheets with incomplete borders where a topic spans multiple pages.
