Math Life Skills

This math class focuses on functional mathematics in real-life contexts. Basic money concepts such

as total costs, change, tax, and budgets are covered. Time management, reading schedules, and using a

map are also concepts covered throughout the year. Percentages, fractions, and decimals are covered

in the context of real life situations such as cooking, measurement, and budgeting purposes.

Numeration and computation of numbers in daily living, which included addition of percentages,

fractions and decimals, are covered throughout the year. The course changes from year to year

depending on repeat students, so that each year they grow and advance in their skills.

Fundamental Algebra Part 1

This course builds upon and expands the skills learned in Math 9. Students can expect to increase

their algebraic vocabulary. Students will work with the basic operations in algebraic expressions. We

will also investigate solutions to linear equations, problem solve with a variety of practical applications

of algebra, and graph linear functions. Students with intentions of taking additional math courses will

need a good understanding of the skills and concepts of Algebra. This course is the first part of the

Fundamental Algebra sequence.

Fundamental Algebra Part 2

Fundamental Algebra Part 2 expands on the material covered in Fundamental Algebra Part 1.

Concepts explored include algebraic expressions, solving and graphing of linear equations, inequalities

and problem solving using practical applications of Algebra. This course is aligned with the Algebra Part

2 class that is taught in the Math Department.

Explorations of Geometry

This two semester geometry course continues the math sequence for students who have completed

Fundamentals of Algebra Part I and Part II. This course will explore the fundamental concepts of

geometry such as triangles, circles, parallel lines, and solid geometry. Fundamental vocabulary,

properties, and the language of geometry will be taught. Algebra skills will be reinforced through the

application of geometric concepts.

Consumer Math

In this course the students are instructed on the topics of consumer education and how to become

an educated consumer in our society. Topics include: savings, investing, banking, checking, insurance,

comparison shopping, budgeting, and renting.

Note: This course meets the Consumer Education Requirements for Graduation.

Algebra (Part 1) Team Taught

This course is designed to be the first half of Algebra 1. The slower pace is allows students time to

reinforce their arithmetic skills and fill in any gaps in learning that may have developed over time.

Successful completion of this course gives students 2 credits of mathematics required for graduation

from Fenton High School, but only one- half of the Algebra 1 credit. To complete the full year of Algebra

1 credit needed for entrance into most colleges, students should enroll next in Algebra (Part 2).

Algebra (Part 2) Team Taught

As a continuation of Algebra (Part 1), the material covered in this course is similar to that covered

during the second semester of the Algebra 1 course. Students successfully completing Algebra (Part 2)

are eligible to enroll in Fundamentals of Geometry or Geometry.

Fundamental of Geometry Team Taught

This course provides students with the fundamental vocabulary, properties, language, and content of

geometry. It is a study of such topics as triangles, circles, polygons, parallel lines, coordinate and solid

geometry. In addition to geometric concepts, significant time will be devoted to honing the algebra

skills needed to be a successful mathematics student.
