Summer Assignment
Summer Packet for students entering PreCalculus/Trigonometry
Please have the following worksheets completed and ready to be handed in on the first day
of class in the fall. Make sure you show your work where appropriate. Answers are
provided for you to check; however, you will not be given credit if you don’t show work on
problems that require it. It is expected that you have a good understanding of this
material coming into these courses as teachers will not be doing an extensive review of
previously learned material.
Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!
