Mathematics

Grad Requirements: Math- LIVE

Graduation Requirements for Mathematics:

9 credits are required from courses that meet requirements under probability & statistics, geometry, and algebra 2.


Calculators may be used in most of our math courses. A scientific calculator (with fraction capabilities) is adequate through Geometry. Students who plan on taking Algebra 2, College Prep, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, or Statistics will extensively use a graphing calculator. (These will also be used in Chemistry and Physics). You may want to discuss calculator selection with a teacher.

Intermediate Algebra 


Intermediate Algebra introduces and develops concepts including simplifying, solving and graphing: linear, inequality, systems of linear equations/inequalities,  quadratic, basic radical and basic rational expressions/equations. The course will also include probability and statistics concepts.



Geometry


Students will be introduced and develop basic terms and symbols of geometry including area, perimeter and volume, symmetry and transformations, congruence and similarity, angle and line relationships, and logical reasoning in proofs.



Construction Design in Geometry


Students will be introduced and develop basic terms and symbols of geometry including area, perimeter and volume, symmetry and transformations, congruence and similarity, angle and line relationships, and logical reasoning in proofs while putting those skills to immediate use in this 2 period class with hands-on construction.  This includes building cutting boards, tables, dressers, and framing of walls for deer stands and fish houses. 



Advanced Geometry


Students will be introduced and develop basic terms and symbols of geometry including area, perimeter, surface area, volume, logical reasoning, proofs, constructions, classifying figures, coordinate geometry, transformations, and use math applications with the space, shape and measurements. Advanced Geometry moves at a faster pace and includes more in-depth problem solving.



Algebra 2


Students will develop and master their skills of solving equations, graphing functions, simplifying expressions, rational and radical functions, probability and statistics. Students will be introduced to trigonometry, polynomials, complex numbers and logarithms.



Analytic and Financial Algebra 2


Through the lens of finances, students will solve equations, graphing functions, simplifying expressions, rational and radical functions, probability and statistics, and be introduced to trigonometry, polynomials, complex numbers and logarithms. From credit card debt to renting and home owning, this course meets the state requirements for Algebra 2 in a different way.



Advanced Algebra 2


Students will develop and master their skills of solving equations, graphing functions, simplifying expressions, probability and statistics. Students will be introduced to matrices, trigonometry, polynomials, complex numbers, conic sections and logarithms. Advanced Algebra 2 moves at a faster pace and includes more in-depth problem solving. 



College Prep Math


This course is good preparation for many university or technical college programs. The course includes in-depth work with graphs of relations, functions, polynomial equations, systems, and matrices. 



Pre-Calculus


This course is preparation for AP Calculus or first year calculus in college. Pre-Calculus is an in-depth study of algebra, analytic geometry, function theory, and trigonometry.



Calculus


This course is similar to AP Calculus, but moves at a slower pace. This course will focus on the basics of differential and integral calculus. This course is not intended for students who would like to take the AP Calculus Exam.



AP Calculus AB


This course covers differential and integral calculus which are topics commonly covered in college calculus. Topics align with the AP Calculus AB Exam. 



AP Calculus BC


AP Calculus BC is a course that reviews the entire AP Calculus AB curriculum and introduces several major additional topics, such as Taylor polynomials, sequence and series, improper integrals. Topics align with the AP Calculus BC Exam.



AP Statistics


The course will introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students who are considering careers in medicine, environmental science, business, sociology, social work, psychology, sports, politics, and entertainment may benefit from this course. It can be taken at the same time as other math courses, including Pre-Calculus, College Prep, and/or AP Calculus.  Topics align with the AP Statistics Exam
