8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Algebra and Algebraic Techniques & Equations and Inequalities

  • Factor and simplify 40 mixed algebraic expressions (difference of squares, sum/difference of cubes, grouping) without errors in sign handling

  • Solve linear and quadratic equations in one and two unknowns, including parameter-dependent cases, and record the condition on the parameter for each solution

  • Set up and solve 10 word problems that require building an equation from the text before solving it

  • Solve linear inequalities and quadratic inequalities using a sign chart, and express every answer set in interval notation

Your checkpoint

A handwritten or scanned error log of 50 solved algebra and equation problems, with each mistake tagged by cause (sign, factoring, parameter condition, interval notation) and re-solved correctly

Week 2

Differential Calculus

  • Compute derivatives of polynomial, rational, radical, and product/quotient combinations using the power, product, quotient, and chain rules

  • Differentiate exponential and logarithmic expressions, including composite arguments

  • Find tangent line equations at a given point and determine where a function is increasing, decreasing, or stationary

  • Locate and classify local extrema and inflection points using sign tables for the first and second derivatives

  • Solve 5 full optimization word problems (area, volume, cost) through to a justified answer

Your checkpoint

A one-page derivative rule sheet written from memory plus 25 graded derivative and analysis exercises, with at least 22 correct on a timed 45-minute self-test

Week 3

Functions and Graphs & Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

  • Sketch graphs of linear, quadratic, cubic, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, marking intercepts, asymptotes, and domain restrictions

  • Determine domain and range for 20 functions, including those with radicals, denominators, and logarithms

  • Apply transformation rules (shift, stretch, reflect) to a parent graph and write the transformed equation

  • Solve exponential and logarithmic equations and verify solutions against domain restrictions

  • Convert between exponential and logarithmic form and apply log laws to simplify expressions

Your checkpoint

A portfolio of 12 fully annotated function sketches (asymptotes, intercepts, monotonicity) plus 15 solved exponential/logarithmic equations with domain checks shown

  • Solve trigonometric equations in a given interval using the unit circle and general solution forms

  • Compute definite integrals using antiderivatives and the fundamental theorem, including polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential integrands

  • Calculate areas between curves and volumes of revolution, setting up the integral before evaluating it

  • Use substitution to evaluate 8 composite integrals

Your checkpoint

A timed 60-minute mid-plan mock paper covering trigonometry and integration (10 items), scored and reviewed, with every lost mark traced to a specific rule or setup error

Week 5

Sequences and Series & Algebra and Algebraic Techniques

  • Identify arithmetic and geometric sequences and compute the general term, sum, and number of terms

  • Solve real-world growth and savings problems modeled by arithmetic or geometric series

  • Handle infinite geometric series and state the convergence condition explicitly

  • Revisit algebraic manipulation skills that surface in series work, such as factoring and simplifying rational expressions with powers

Your checkpoint

A formula card for sequences and series (general term, partial sum, infinite sum, convergence condition) plus 20 solved problems, at least 5 of them word problems with the model stated in words first

Week 6

Euclidean Geometry & Analytic Geometry

  • State and apply circle theorems (inscribed angle, tangent-chord, cyclic quadrilateral, power of a point) in multi-step proofs
