This course is offered to students who have completed Integrated Math 1 and revised 8th grade curriculum. The course focuses on continuing and increasing students' complete mathematical understanding as they work with algebraic operations, radicals, indices and rational indicies, algebraic expansion, factorization, quadratic equations and problem-solving. Students will also cover coordinate geometry in addition to using similar triangles and well as trigonometric rations to solve real-life problems.
This course is constructed to further develop mathematical knowledge and skills beyond Integrated Math 1 and 2 and is essential to complete the minimum required mathematical knowledge to not only prepare students for further more specific mathematical study, but also to cover all content expected for the ACT college entry examination. The course delves into various kinds of functions; rational, exponential and logarithmic, with their graphs and transformations. It also covers real-world applications, including compounding interest, depreciation of assets, and more. The course also covers concepts in trigonometry, including graphical features of sinusoids and using the sine and cosine rule to solve practical problems, as well as introducing students to the world of probabilities. After completion of the IM3 course, a student should be able to decide how to go on with their mathematical study and which course they would like to have a deeper study in.
This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.
This course is constructed to develop and apply the relevant mathematical knowledge and skills to real-world business scenarios. Concepts from calculus, matrix algebra, and linear programming, among others, will be applied from a business perspective. Topics include compounding interest; analyzing revenue, cost, and profit functions; supply and demand analysis; investment appraisal; marginal analysis; and more.
After completion of the Mathematics for Business Development course, the students should have developed the skills necessary to analyze business models effectively, better preparing them for the business world upon graduation. This course is most suitable for students who have completed precalculus and want to study more advanced mathematics specifically from a business perspective. Students who have not taken precalculus may also apply.

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that studies change and motion. In this course, students will learn how to use calculus to analyze functions of one variable. They will also explore the theory behind calculus and its real-world applications. This course is challenging and requires a solid background in analytic geometry and elementary functions. It is intended for the students who did well in precalculus to make sure they have enough skill to work with the complex concepts of the course. The calculus course will help students with determining expressions and values using mathematical procedures and rules, connecting representations of calculus concepts in different forms, such as graphs, tables, equations, and word problems.
Justifying reasoning and solutions using definitions, theorems, and evidence, and Using correct notation, language, and mathematical conventions to communicate results or solutions are skills that will help students to think and act like mathematicians, and to apply calculus to real-world problems.

Statistics aims to present concepts and techniques for collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and making predictions in a thorough and comprehensive manner. Students will study applied regression methods, statistical distribution models, data error analysis, and probability distributions. Ultimately, students will become competent enough in statistics to study more rigorous statistical models at university.
Applications may be drawn from a wide variety of disciplines ranging from the social sciences of psychology and sociology to education, allied health fields, business, economics, engineering, the humanities, the physical sciences, journalism, communications, and liberal arts. Students should be able to design an experiment, collect appropriate data, select and use statistical techniques to analyze the data, and develop and evaluate inferences based on the data.
