Dual Credit Courses

Dual Credit with Ivy Tech – 1 semester course. Students will take the Knowledge Assessment STEM test and apply for admission to Ivy Tech Community College. College credits are awarded to the student FREE of charge for earning a final grade of “C” or better based on the Ivy Tech grading scale. Dual Credits earned – 3 credits per semester.

2564 IVY PRE-CALCULUS (IVY M-136) DUAL CREDIT Weighted 0.50

1 semester 1 Credit

Grade 11,12

COURSE DESCRIPTION Pre-Calculus extends the foundations of algebra and functions developed in previous courses to new functions, including exponential and logarithmic functions, and to higher-level sequences and series. The course provides students with the skills and understandings that are necessary for advanced manipulation of angles and measurement. Pre-Calculus is made up of five strands: Polar Coordinates and Complex Numbers; Functions; Quadratic, Polynomial, and Rational Equations and Functions; Exponential and Logarithmic Equations and Functions; and Parametric Equations. Students will also advance their understanding of imaginary numbers through an investigation of complex numbers and polar coordinates.

2566 IVY TRIGONOMETRY (IVY M-137) DUAL CREDIT Weighted 0.50

1 semester 1 Credit

Grade 11,12

COURSE DESCRIPTION Trigonometry provides students with the skills and understandings that are necessary for advanced manipulation of angles and measurement. Trigonometry provides the foundation for common periodic functions that are encountered many disciplines, including music, engineering, medicine, and finance (and nearly all other STEM disciplines). Trigonometry consists of seven strands: Conics; Unit Circle; Geometry; Periodic Functions; Identities; Polar Coordinates; and Vectors. A strong understanding of complex and imaginary numbers is a necessity for fields such as engineering and computer programming. The eight Process Standards for Mathematics apply throughout the course. Together with the content standards, the Process Standards prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.
