Three credits are required to graduate. Each student must earn 1 credit in Algebra 1, 1 credit in Geometry, and 1 credit in Algebra 2.
Algebra 1A (210/211 1B (212/213)
1 credit for each course - year long course
Alg 1A =Grade 9, Alg 1B = Grade 10
Enrollment in Pre-Algebra is only by departmental recommendation.
Algebra 1A is an algebra-preparatory course designed to aid students in making the transition from 8th grade mathematics to Algebra I. In this course, students review fundamental math skills while learning the concepts and skills necessary to succeed in Algebra I. These include variables, algebraic expressions, ratio, proportion, percent, equations, formulas, integers, and some graphing. Successful completion of this course enables the student to enroll in Algebra I the following year. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
Algebra 1 (220/221)
1 credit - year long course
02052A000
This course coordinates the structure of algebra with instruction in the techniques of the algebraic method of problem solving. The study of the real number system and its properties, algebraic and graphic solution of linear equations, quadratic equations, inequalities, and systems of equations are some of the topics covered in this course. The solution of “word problems” is stressed in an effort to show applications of algebra in many different real-life situations. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
Geometry (240/241)
1 credit - year long course
02072A000
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
Geometry is the second year of study in the college preparatory sequence in mathematics. The important relationships among perpendicular lines, parallel lines, triangles, and circles form the main body of material. Among other methods, mathematical proof is used to study these relationships. Other topics which are algebraic in nature are studied as they relate to the geometry in question. These include ratio and proportion, percentage, area and volume formulas, the graphic and algebraic solution of linear equations, and basic equation solving skills. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
CP Geometry (238/239)
1 credit - year long course
02072A000
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
CP Geometry is the second year of study in the rigorous college preparatory sequence in mathematics. The important relationships among perpendicular lines, parallel lines, triangles, and circles form the main body of material. Among other methods, mathematical proof is used to study these relationships. Other topics which are algebraic in nature are studied as they relate to the geometry in question. These include ratio and proportion, percentage, area and volume formulas, the graphic and algebraic solution of linear equations, and basic equation solving skills. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
Applied Technical Math I (260)
1/2 credit - Semester
02152A000
Prerequisite: Algebra II
This course will include basic skills in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. This will include fractions, decimals, coordinate plane, area, volume, sine and cosine. Problem solving and test taking skills will be emphasized along with their use in real world situations. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests. The main emphasis of the course is the review of math skills in preparation for the workplace. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes and tests. This course can be taken concurrently with Algebra II.
Applied Technical Math II (261)
1/2 credit - Semester
02151A000
Prerequisite: Algebra II
This course is a continuation of Applied Math I, with further emphasis on algebraic operations, geometric concepts (angles, lines, triangles, circles), basic trigonometry, systems of equations, and variation problems. Emphasis is on real world problems for technical careers. This course can be taken concurrently with Algebra II.
Algebra 2 (250/251)
1 credit - year long course
02056A000
Prerequisite: Algebra I & Geometry
Algebra 2 is a college prep course. This course includes a review of Algebra 1, the study of properties of real numbers and how they are applied to the solution of linear equations, quadratic equations, systems of equations, and inequalities both algebraically and graphically. Imaginary numbers and the complex number system are introduced and used in the solution of equations. Conic sections are studied. The study of “word problems” is stressed in an effort to show the many different applications of algebra in real-life situations. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
CP AP Algebra 2 (248/249)
1 credit - year long course
02056A000
Prerequisite: Algebra I & Geometry (Upon teacher recommendation and approval of the principal, a student may take CP Geometry and CP Algebra 2 simultaneously.)
CP Algebra 2 is a rigorous college preparatory mathematics course. This course includes a review of Algebra 1, the study of properties of real numbers and how they are applied to the solution of linear equations, systems of equations, and inequalities both algebraically and graphically. Imaginary numbers and the complex number system are introduced and used in the solution of equations. Conic sections are studied algebraically and geometrically. The study of “word problems” is stressed in an effort to show the many different applications of algebra in real-life situations. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests. (This class is required in order to advance to Algebra 3, Trigonometry, and AP Calculus.)
*Intro to Statistics (272)
1/2 credit - semester
02202A000
Prerequisite: Algebra 2 or Pre-AP Algebra 2
Probability and statistics are introduced and the applications of these topics in business and the social sciences are explored. Specific topics include descriptive statistics, counting techniques, the normal distribution, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and correlation. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests. Statistics can be taken concurrently with Algebra 3.Taking both courses is highly recommended for college bound students.
*Algebra 3 (273)
1/2 credit - semester
02057A000
Prerequisite: Pre-AP Algebra 2
This college Algebra course includes the study of analytic geometry and polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Applications of linear systems, arithmetic and geometric sequences and series and their solutions are introduced and developed. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
*Trigonometry (270)
1/2 credit - semester
02103A000
Prerequisite: Algebra 3
This course involves the study of trigonometric functions and their graphs. Trigonometric equations and formulas are introduced, and their applications in such areas as navigation and surveying are explored. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
*Advanced Placement Calculus (278/279)
1 credit - year long course
02124A000
Prerequisite: Trigonometry
This is an introductory calculus course and represents college-level mathematics. This class will follow the syllabus provided by the Advanced Placement Program in order to prepare students for the Calculus AP test given in the spring. Topics covered in the class include functions and their graphs, limits and continuity, derivatives, integrals, and applications of these topics. It is expected that students who take this course will seek college credit and/or placement from the college or university they attend. Appropriate credit and placement are granted by each institution in accordance with its own policies. Evaluation will be based on class participation, homework, quizzes, and tests.
