Algebra I : Students are introduced to basic algebraic skills in a logical order, including relations, functions, graphing, systems of equations, radicals, factoring polynomials, rational equations, and quadratic functions. It emphasizes practical methods of solving first and second-degree equations and inequalities. Each section involves word problems and real-life applications using basic algebraic skills. Algebra l is the standard course for students who are on grade level. It provides a foundation for higher level mathematics courses.
Geometry : This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. It includes the study of lines, polygons, right triangles and transformations. Inductive and deductive critical thinking skills are used in problem solving situations. Geometry also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures as well as real world applications.
Prerequisites: Algebra I
Pre-AP Geometry : This course is designed for students who have already taken Algebra in the 8th grade. In addition to the concepts covered in the regular geometry course, this course will look into the geometry of circles in more depth and possibly study some non-Euclidean geometry. Gifted students may be challenged with various projects to accompany topics addressed in geometry.
Prerequisites: Algebra I
Algebra II : A continuation of the topics studied in Algebra I, this course will extend the development of the real number system and will include a study of the complex numbers as a mathematical system. Students will study the ideas of relations and functions, with an emphasis on graphing; a variety of representations as well as a variety of techniques (including the graphing calculator) will be used to solve problems. Matrices and determinants will be introduced. The equations and graphs of conic sections will also be studied. The students who plan to attend college should study Algebra II since familiarity with mathematical concepts and an understanding of a structured approach to a discipline will be needed.
Prerequisites: Algebra I & Geometry
Pre-AP Algebra II : Pre-AP Algebra II is a course designed for the student who has future plans to take AP Calculus. In addition to the material usually covered in algebra, more in-depth topics such as probability and statistics, and matrices and determinants will be studied. Extensive problem solving will be stressed.
Prerequisites: Algebra I & Geometry
Pre-AP Pre-Calculus : Pre AP Pre-Calculus is a comprehensive study of the properties and applications of trigonometric functions, including trigonometric ratios, their graphs, identities, and inverse functions. Other topics include conic sections, polynomial functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, sequences and series, complex numbers, and vectors. Students will experience a more in depth study of the previously mentioned topics. This advanced academic course is designed for students who intend to take AP Calculus during their senior year.
Prerequisites: Algebra II
AP Calculus : Advanced Placement Calculus AB consists of a full academic year of work in calculus and related topics comparable to one semester of calculus in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take AP Calculus will seek college credit or placement from institutions of higher learning. The year's course will be devoted to the topics in differential and integral calculus to adequately prepare students for the Advanced Placement Calculus AB examination. This course requires a graphing utility.
Prerequisites: Pre-AP Pre-Calculus
MATH 1314 - Dual Credit College Algebra : This course covers an in-depth study and applications of quadratics, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, and systems of equations. Additional topics such as arithmetic and geometric progressions; sequences and series; and matrices and determinants are included.
MATH 2312 - Dual Credit College Pre-Calculus : This course covers an in-depth study and applications of trigonometric functions and their graphs; radian measurement; solution of triangles; identities; logarithmic and exponential functions; trigonometric equations; applications of trigonometry; conic sections and their graphs.
