Algebra 1 - 300 H / 301 CP / 302 CPS
Topics will include interpreting graphs and expressions, quantitative reasoning and understanding solving of equations and inequalities as a process of reasoning; engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions, solving systems of equations, analyzing functions using different representations, compare linear, quadratic and exponential models to solve problems; expressions and equations such as solving equations and inequalities in one variable and performing arithmetic operations on polynomials; and quadratic functions such as building a function that models a relationship between two quantities.
Topics to be studied include geometric proof; the study of triangles and their properties including right triangles and right triangle trigonometry; parallel lines and angle relationships; similarity; circles and theorems about circles; transformations in the plane; applying geometric concepts in modeling situations. Algebraic thinking is integrated throughout the course to maintain algebra skills.
Students will study topics such as understanding the concept of a function and using function notation; investigating polynomial functions including quadratic, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions; interpreting and analyzing functions using different representations; building functions from existing functions; construct and compare linear, quadratic, and higher degree functions, including those with complex solutions; and building and using models to solve problems.
This course explores the trigonometric functions, and includes degree and radian measure, linear and angular velocity, trigonometric identities, graphinG trigonometric functions, the study of the Law of Sines, the Law of Cosines, and solving trigonometric equations. Students must have a strong algebra background.
PreCalculus - Honors & AP - 340 AP / 341 H / 342 CP
A challenging course designed to prepare students for calculus; it includes a thorough study of functions, including exponential and logarithmic functions, as well as conic sections, matrices, and trigonometry equations and identities. A strong Algebra background is essential.
Calculus 1 - Honors & AP - 350 AP / 351 H
For the capable math student who has done outstanding work in all of his/her mathematics courses and who wants to pursue advanced math. Topics include limits and their properties, differentiation, application of differentiation, and integration.
Calculus 2 - AP - 352 AP
A rigorous college level course for the advanced student, intended to be a continuation of Calculus 1 Honors AP®, in preparation for the Calculus AP® BC exam. Topics include application of integration, advanced integration techniques, infinite series, conic sections, parametric and polar coordinates with calculus, and vectors and the geometry of space.
An introductory, non-calculus-based college-level course in statistics. The course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes in the Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding.
Probability & Statistics - 362
Probability and Statistics is an elective course that explores the world of probability and chance as well as the many practical applications of statistics. Topics covered include probability and the lottery, genetics, games of chance, sports statistics, advertising, analysis and interpolation of data to make predictions. Investigations, simulations and experiments make this a challenging and rewarding course.
Statistical Finance - 363 H
Statistical Finance is a comprehensive finance course that blends algebra and statistical analysis with the business world. It is a data driven, problem solving course that blends banking with exponential functions, vehicle valuation and ownership with logarithms, and college loan debt analysis with cubic regression. This course will use current financial events and standards to improve financial literacy and will use data analysis to improve financial decision making. Topics discussed will include investments, banking, credit, taxes, independent living, and retirement.
This full year course is designed to alert, inform, and educate students in concepts of personal finance and money management. Students will begin to develop the skills and strategies that promote personal and financial responsibility. Four broad topics will be the foundation of the course: money management, savings and investing, income, and spending. Students will create their own financial plan and examine how their choice of career and lifestyles will affect that plan, create a budget, demonstrate how to use various financial services including banking and credit, and plan for large purchases such as a car or house.
