2 Credit, daily course. This course serves as the gateway for advanced mathematical courses by providing a complete foundation of the topics in exponential equations, data analysis and modeling, quadratic functions and equations, and critical analysis and understanding of functions in comparison to linear functions. This course serves as the traditional 9th grade daily Algebra 1 course.
1 Credit, every-other-day. This course serves as the gateway for advanced mathematical courses by providing a complete foundation of the topics in exponential equations, data analysis and modeling, quadratic functions and equations, and critical analysis and understanding of functions in comparison to linear functions. Instructional emphasis is placed on connecting the multiple representations of functions and interpreting the representations through applications. This course is delivered in every other day compressed format.
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.
πREQUIRED for UMD College Completer. This course will expand studentsβ 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.
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.
Students will investigate topics of logistic to develop deeper thinking and reasoning skills. Students will study introductory Boolean Logic and Graph Theory as well as explore logic puzzles and games.
This course will expose students to functions as they relate to applications of mathematics as they relate to the environment and physical world. Students will build on previously generalized knowledge about solving and graphing functions. These concepts are imbedded in a variety of real-life situations
