Algebra Skills is to be taken concurrently with Algebra I. The Skills class will give struggling math students the opportunity to receive additional teaching and support in Algebra. The goal is to help the student keep up and succeed with the pace and rigor of Algebra. Time in Skills class may be spent re-teaching previous material to be used in current lessons, re-teaching current lessons, or working on homework to give students time to get individual help. The student will earn a credit for successfully completing the Algebra course and an additional credit for participation in the Skills class for the entire year. Both credits would count as math credits for graduation requirements, however the NCAA would only recognize one of these credits in determining NCAA eligibility. *The NCAA recognizes 1 credit per course for college admission and athletic eligibility. Please see the NCAA handbook for further details.

Like the Geometry course, the Honors Geometry class is designed to help the student think critically and arrive at valid conclusions based on facts. The basic structure of Euclidean Geometry is stressed to give students the proficiency needed in developing formal proofs. Other topics include elements of plane Geometry such as constructions, transformations, similarity, basic trigonometry and properties of angles, polygons and circles. Students will also learn surface area and volume of solids as well as the elements of probability as dictated by the Ohio State Standards. Honors Geometry is designed to study the above topics in greater depth and prepare strong and motivated students for the rigor of future advanced mathematics courses.

In Algebra II, the fundamental concepts of elementary Algebra are reviewed and applied to more difficult problems at a more rigorous level and faster pace than Applied Algebra II. Additional topics covered are rational and negative exponents, exponential and logarithmic functions, imaginary numbers, solutions of equations and systems of equations, and the properties of radicals and graphs. A graphing calculator such as a TI-84 Plus is recommended.

Honors Algebra II is intended for the college-bound student who has mastered Algebra I and Geometry. The course will cover more topics and go into more detail than regular Algebra II. Honors Algebra II reinforces mathematical skills, expands the understanding of mathematical concepts, and improves logical thinking. The development of the real number system will be extended with an emphasis on functions. The course stresses solving equations and inequalities with emphasis on word problems. Additional topics covered include graphs in space, exponential and logarithmic functions, conics, the complex number system, series, sequences, and matrices. A graphing calculator such as a TI-84 Plus is recommended.

Pre-calculus is a capstone course that ties together algebra, logic and analytic geometry through the study of functions and is also a preparatory course for calculus and other high-level math classes. This course offers an in-depth study on polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric numbers, conic sections, sequences and series. The course is highly recommended for accelerated juniors and any senior planning to major in math, engineering, computer technology, architecture or the physical sciences. Students may have the opportunity to earn CCP credit.

Equivalent to a first-semester college calculus course, Advanced Placement Calculus is an in-depth study of limits, derivatives and integrals. Both computations and applications will be emphasized. Students will be expected to take the AP exam at a cost of about $80.00 and will need a graphing calculator to take the exam. With a passing score on the AP exam, students will receive credit for a first-semester calculus course at virtually all colleges nationwide.
