This course serves as the second course in the mathematical sequence. Students will be using more precise definitions and developing careful proofs; represent problem situations with geometric models; classify figures in terms of congruence and similarity; deduce properties of and relationships between figures from given assumptions; and translate geometric figures to an algebraic coordinate representation and algebraic models; apply right triangles and trigonometry. This course serves as the traditional 9th grade mathematics course.ย

๐REQUIRED for UMD College Completer. This course will expand studentsโ knowledge of functions to include polynomial, rational and radical functions. Students will work with expanding features of the functions and draw connections with the experiences of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students will model situations to solve equations, including solving quadratic equations over the set of complex numbers and solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms. Students will build on their experiences to work with trigonometric ratios and functions. This course also has a focus on data and probability distributions.ย
Students in grades 10โ12 prepare for the PSAT, SAT, and the ACT by developing and applying strategies to strengthen their mathematical abilities and test-taking skills. Through focused instruction, practice with actual test items, and independent activities, students diagnose their individual needs and implement a program to improve their immediate scores and their greater academic performance in high school and beyond. Recommended: Geometry and Algebra 2
Building on their understanding of linear and exponential relationships, students will learn how credit cards and student loans work, and how money works.ย Students will develop a solid foundation of money related topics including budgeting, taxes, credit cards, saving, and investing opportunities.ย
Building on function relationships explored in Algebra 2, in this course students will develop a solid understanding about how such topics as student loans, car loans, mortgages, the stock market, investing, operating a business, and more are entrenched in mathematics. Prerequisite: Algebra 2
Students will investigate topics of logistic to develop deeper thinking and reasoning skills. Students will study introductory Encryption Algorithms, Cryptography and Conversion of Bases as well as explore logic puzzles and games.ย
This course will expose students to functions as they relate to applications of mathematics as they relate to the mechanical and scientific world. Students will build on previously generalized knowledge about solving and graphing functions. These concepts are imbedded in a variety of real-life situations.ย
This course reviews and extends intermediate and advanced algebra topics through rigorous manipulation of mathematical concepts. Concepts include systems of equations, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions.ย
Students will develop an understanding of statistics through real-world application and hands-on learning via projects, experiments, and technology explorations. This is an experiential course where students will collect, organize and analyze data from experiments and sample surveys to make inferences about a larger population or process.ย
Probability may be known as the science of uncertainty, but with an understanding of the nature of chance and variation in the real world, students can make sense of seemingly random phenomenon. Through exploration, simulation, and play, students will formulate rules and develop models to determine the probability of specific events and outcomes and use their understanding of probability to make decisions and predictions.ย
This course integrates the study of trigonometry, analytic geometry, and advanced algebraic topics into a logical approach to the solution of real-world problems. This course is a prerequisite for Advanced Placement Calculus.ย
