Mathematics

If you start your journey in Algebra, you will take Geometry* next, and then followed by either: 

• Algebra II: Based in solving and graphing several types of functions, this option is a better choice for those pursuing 4 year college options especially in STEM fields; and is necessary for those wishing to continue on to one or more of the math elective courses during high school. This course is heavily focused on types of by hand solution methods to equations, graphing equations, and describing features of graphed equations.

OR

• Probability and Statistics: This option might be a good choice for those pursuing social sciences majors in college, community college, or going directly to a career post high school. This would most likely be your choice if it is going to be the last math course you take in high school and are not interested in any of the math electives, but you do have the option to also take Algebra II after this if you wish. This course is heavily focused on reading scenarios paired with data, calculating statistics using a graphing calculator, visualizing data with graphs, and interpreting their meaning in context.

*Students should note, that if they would like to opt into Honors Geometry instead of Geometry after Algebra I, they should talk to their teacher!

If you start your journey in Honors Geometry, you will take Honors Algebra II next, then you will choose between:

• AP Statistics - Advanced Placement Statistics is a course introducing students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. It emphasizes sound statistical thinking rather than routine procedures. Students will be exposed to several broad conceptual themes of Statistics such as exploring data, planning a study, modeling and anticipating patterns and statistical Inference. 

• Pre-Calculus: This course is designed for students thinking about exploring a career in STEM.  Students will gain a deeper understanding of algebra functions, geometric concepts from the analytic view of algebraic procedures, trigonometric functions and identities, conic sections, and calculus underpinnings. Technology will be used for applications and problem solving. 

• Discrete Math: Designed to lay the groundwork for mathematics applications in computer science, business and applied mathematics. It will help prepare students for non-technical careers which use modem technology. Matrices, determinants, probability, logic theory, graph theory and statistics will be used to create models for solving problems
