Algebra 1-2 (9,10,11)
Algebra 1-2 is aimed toward giving foundation in basic algebraic principles which will prepare the student for advanced courses in mathematics. The course includes the following topics: functions, solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, properties of real numbers, systems of equations and inequalities. A “C” or better is recommended in Algebra 1 to progress to Algebra 2.
Strategic Algebra Support (9,10)
Students are placed into these support courses based on district guidelines.
Integrated Mathematics 1–2 (10,11,12) (Prerequisite: Algebra 2 CP with a grade of “D” or better)
This class is designed to provide a balance of problem solving, skill development, and conceptual understanding. The course is based on strengthening algebraic skills while introducing geometric skills in preparation for Geometry 1 – 2 CP.
Integrated Mathematics 3–4 CP (11,12) (Prerequisite: Geometry 2 CP with a grade of “D” or better)
This class is designed to provide a balance of problem solving, skill development, and conceptual understanding. The course is based on strengthening algebraic skills while introducing geometric skills in preparation for Algebra 3 – 4 CP.
Geometry 1-2 (9,10,11,12) (Recommended Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2 with a grade of “C” or better)
Topics covered in this course include geometric proofs, constructions, congruent figures, rectangular figures, circles, polygons, areas, prisms, pyramids, cones, angles, and similar figures. Group work is used extensively.
Finite Mathematics and Statistics (11,12) (Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2, Geometry 1-2 with a “C” or better)
This course provides an elective college preparatory mathematics course as an alternative to PreCalculus. Topics in this course include reviewing and extending Algebra 3-4 and Geometry skills, exploring and investigating practical uses of mathematics in Coding Information, Statistics, Management Science, and Social Choices and Decision Making.
Algebra 3-4 (9,10,11,12)(Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2, Geometry 1-2 with a “C” or better)
This course is designed to strengthen the basic algebraic concepts and to extend them to cover probability including permutations and combinations, logarithms, exponents, analysis of conics, and mathematical modeling. This course is considered a vital part of the training for those students considering the field of mathematics, science, or engineering. A “C” is recommended in Algebra 3 to proceed to Algebra 4.
Pre-Calculus 1-2 (10,11,12) (Prerequisite: Algebra 4 with a grade of “B” or better)
This course is the study of circular and trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, triangle solutions, modern analytic geometry topics such as the characteristics of functions, rational functions, parametric equations and their graphs, three-dimensional coordinate geometry, complex numbers, matrices, vectors, and other topics leading to more advanced mathematics. A “C” is recommended in Pre- Calculus 1 to proceed to Pre-Calculus 2.
Advanced Placement Statistics (10,11,12) (Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2, Geometry1-2, Algebra 3-4, with a grade of “C or better)
The Advanced Placement course in statistics consists of a full academic year of work in statistics comparable to, and in some places exceeding, courses in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take an AP course in statistics will seek credit or placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. Although individual colleges and universities determine appropriate credit and placement according to their local policies, the content of AP Statistics is designed to qualify students for placement. AP Statistics covers the following topics: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns and probability, and statistical inference. It should be understood that AP Statistics is not “easier” than AP Calculus, but rather a different branch of mathematics.
Advanced Placement Calculus 1-2 (A-B) (11,12)
(Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2, Geometry 1-2, Algebra 3-4, and Pre Calculus 1-2 with a grade of “C” or better)
The Advanced Placement course in calculus consists of a full academic year of work in calculus comparable to coursework in a semester of Calculus in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take an AP course in calculus will seek credit or placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. AP Calculus (AB) covers the following topics: functions, graphs, limits, derivatives, and integrals.
Advanced Placement Calculus 1-2 (BC) (11,12)
(Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2, Geometry 1-2, Algebra 3-4, and Pre Calculus 1-2 with a grade of “B” or better)
The Advanced Placement course in calculus consists of a full academic year of work in calculus comparable to courses in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take an AP course in calculus will seek credit or placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. Although individual colleges and universities determine appropriate credit and placement according to their local policies, the content of Calculus BC is designed to qualify students for placement and credit one course beyond that granted for Calculus AB. AP Calculus (BC) covers the following topics: functions (including parametric, polar and vector), graphs, limits, derivatives, integrals, polynomial approximations and series.
