The fundamental purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that the students learned in the middle school. There is a focus on real-life applications and word problems that require a high reading level. This more ambitious version of Algebra is designed to prepare students for the Algebra Regents exam in June. Topics of this course include: solving equations and inequalities; systems of equations; inequalities; polynomials; factoring; statistical regressions; linear, exponential, and quadratic models.

Math Topics is a course designed for students who did not meet proficiency in Mathematics 8. Students are enrolled in this course based on severity of need. A math specialist teaches the class and collaborates with the Algebra team to support their course. In addition the goal is to bolster and grow basic math skills.

(1 CREDIT)

This course is designed for students who did not pass the Algebra Regents or upperclassmen who have not taken Algebra or Algebra Regents Exam. This course will focus on mastering Algebra and test taking skills to complete the required exit exam for graduation. Students will perform high leverage tasks and examine applications of Algebra in the real world. Regents exam. Students will have two opportunities to be successful on the Algebra Regents (January & June)

(1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite: Successful completion of the Algebra Regents exam

This is a rigorous course open to 9th and 10th graders who are intending to pursue an Advance Regents Diploma. Students will revisit Algebra topics and apply them to geometric shapes. In addition they will study 3-dimensional figures, angles, lines and apply geometric concepts to real-life situations. There will be a local final at the completion of the course.

(1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite: Successful completion of either Algebra or Alg1B/Geo1

Open to 10th, 11th, or 12th graders who are NOT intending to go for the advanced Regents diploma. Students will study the relationships of geometric shapes, 3-dimensional figures, angles, lines, develop the process of writing proofs, and apply geometric concepts to real-life situations. There will be a local final at the completion of the course.

(1 CREDIT)

Students enrolling in this course MUST have passed the Algebra Regents with a 75 or higher.

The fundamental purpose of the course in Geometry is to formalize and extend students’ geometric experiences from middle school. Students explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. Students will study the relationships of geometric shapes, 3-dimensional figures, angles, lines, and develop the process of writing formal proofs. This is an advanced Regents math course designed to prepare the students to pass the Geometry Regents at the end of the year in June.

(1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite: Student successfully completed Algebra 2 A or any student who failed the Algebra II Regents.

This course is year 2 of a two year Algebra 2 sequence and is designed for students ho have successfully completed Algebra 2A. Students will take the Algebra II Regents at the end of the year in June. Topics include: advanced algebra, the theory of functions, trigonometry, and statistics.

(1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite: Open to 11th or 12th grade students. Student must have at least 2 math credits and successfully passed a math regents exam.

Students will explore a variety of programming systems and languages to create interactive applications and systems. By collaborating in a hands-on environment, students will learn problem solving, software design, debugging strategies, and the foundations of computer science. Students may create projects in the areas of graphics and games, animation and art, electronics systems, and interactive fashion, all using open-source software tools such as Scratch, Arduino, Processing, and Python.

STANDARD LEVEL (1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite: Student successfully completed Algebra 2.

This course recognizes the increasing role that mathematics and technology play in a diverse range of fields in a data-rich world. As such, it emphasizes the meaning of mathematics in context by focusing on topics that are often used as applications or in mathematical modelling. To give this understanding a firm base, this course also includes topics that are traditionally part of a pre-university mathematics course such as calculus and statistics. The course makes extensive use of technology to allow students to explore and construct mathematical models. Mathematics: applications and interpretation will develop mathematical thinking, often in the context of a practical problem and using technology to justify conjectures. The course includes an Internal Assessment or exploration that is an independent piece of work by the students due in March and the IB External Assessments given in May.

STANDARD LEVEL (1 CREDIT)

Prerequisite: Student successfully completed Pre-IB Mathematics with a 75 or higher.

This course recognizes the need for analytical expertise in a world where innovation is increasingly dependent on a deep understanding of mathematics. The focus is on developing important mathematical concepts in a comprehensible, coherent and rigorous way. Students will apply their mathematical knowledge to solve abstract problems as well as those set in a variety of meaningful contexts. Mathematics: analysis and approaches has a strong emphasis on the ability to construct, communicate and justify correct mathematical arguments. Students should expect to develop insight into mathematical form and structure, and should be intellectually equipped to appreciate the links between concepts in different topic areas. The course includes an Internal Assessment or exploration that is an independent piece of work by the students due in March and the IB External Assessments given in May.
