Students in Secondary Mathematics I focus on linear and exponential relationships, congruent figures, reasoning with equations, and interpreting data. Additionally, students will make connections between algebra and geometry through coordinates. Honors will also cover Vector quantities and operations on vectors as well as matrices operations and applications. Students who continue in the honors track will be prepared for Advanced Placement Calculus their senior year of high school.

The focus of Mathematics II is on quadratic expressions, equations, and functions; comparing their characteristics and behavior to those of linear and exponential relationships from Mathematics I as organized into 6 critical areas, or units. The link between probability and data is explored through conditional probability and counting methods, including their use in making and evaluating decisions. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content 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.

This course is the same as Secondary Math 2 but at an accelerated pace so that more Pre-Calculus ideas can be incorporated in. A student taking the honors courses all three years will be ready to take Calculus as a senior. Prerequisite: Secondary Math 1(Honors)

This class is designed to present an integrated approach to Intermediate Algebra, trigonometry and pre-calculus. It will continue on principles touched upon in secondary II and increase students understanding of higher level math. This class is counts as the third year math requirement for graduation. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content 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.

This course will develop skills in Data Science and statistics by emphasizing a modeling approach. Students will reason and make sense of data using the Statistical Problem-Solving Process consisting of: 1. Formulating Statistical Investigative Questions, 2. Collect/Consider Data, 3. Analyze Data, and 4. Interpreting the Results. Students will learn to use data and modeling to formulate and answer questions as well as to critically evaluate information using mathematics as the reasoning tool.

This course includes mathematical decision making in finance, modeling, probability and statistics, and making choices. The four quarters of instruction will be independent of each other, allowing students to enter and exit the course quarterly. Students will make sense of authentic problems and persevere in problem solving. They will reason abstractly and quantitatively while communicating with others. Students will use appropriate tools, including technology, to model mathematics.

This course is an appropriate culminating mathematics course for the general studies or liberal arts student majoring in humanities or other programs not related to math and science. The course covers a broad scope of mathematical topics as they apply to real-world problems. Topics include reasoning and number sense, finance matters, probability and statistics, and modeling.  Prerequisite: a 19 math ACT score.  Students desiring to take a SLCC CE math class must have taken and passed Math 1, Math 2, AND Math 3 (or Honors) with a C.  *Students desiring college credit must complete the admissions process (including a $40 one-time admission fee for all CE classes) for Salt Lake Community College by August 15. $28.25 (subject to change yearly) online workbook/materials fee and $5 PER credit hour tuition fee ($5 x 3 credit hours + $28.25 fee = $43.25 total).  If you sign up for 1030, you need not sign up for any other CE math class.

Math 1060 - This course is intended to prepare students for a comprehensive course in calculus by teaching concepts and facts required for a major in math, physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science, as well as many of the life sciences. The course presents trigonometric functions, polar functions, trigonometric equations, and solutions of right triangles and oblique triangles. Polar coordinates, complex numbers, and vectors are also introduced. Students are required to know basic trigonometric facts. Prerequisite: Taking and passing (with a C or better) Math 1050 the previous semester.  Students desiring to take a SLCC CE math class must have taken and passed Math 1, Math 2, AND Math 3 (or Honors) with a C.  *Students desiring college credit must complete the admissions process (including a $40 one-time admission fee for all CE classes) for Salt Lake Community College by August 15. $28.25 (subject to change yearly) online workbook/materials fee and $5 PER credit hour tuition fee ($5 x 3 credit hours + $28.25 fee = $43.25 total).  If you sign up for 1060, you must sign up for 1050 in first semester. 

Students learn how to tell the stories of data through visuals and other statistical summaries using basic computer programming. Computer programming is used to introduce concepts of probability, random variables, hypothesis testing and prediction. No previous programming experience is required. Prerequisite: Students desiring to take STAT 1080 CE through USU must have taken and passed Math 1, Math 2, AND Math 3 or Data Science or AP Pre-Calc with a C. 

This class is a non-calculus based statistics course. The purpose of the course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: 1- Exploring Data: Observing patterns and departures from patterns, 2- Planning a study: Deciding what and how to measure, 3- Anticipating Patterns in Advance: Producing models using probability and simulations, and 4- Statistical Inference: A Graphing calculator with statistical applications will be required

This course is an Advanced Placement course that explores the ideas of probability, statistics and analysis of mathematical data. This course is for a college bound student who is not intending to take Calculus. Upon passing the AP test, a student may receive up to 8 semester hours of college credit (depending on the accepting institution). This course may be taken at the same time as Math 3, AP Calculus. 

PreCalculus AP is a new class we are excited to offer. It fits in a math sequence following Math 2 Honors and preceding AP Calculus AB or BC: Math 2 Honors → PreCalculus AP → Calculus AP (AB or BC). It should be taken following Math 2 if one wants to take Calculus in high school. The course covers pre-Calculus topics in a way similar to the college/Concurrent Enrollment courses Math 1050/1060 (College Algebra/Trigonometry). Topics include Polynomials and their graphs and The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra; Rational Functions and their graphs; Functions, Function Inverses and Symmetry; Exponential and Logarithm Functions and their graphs; Systems of Linear Equations and Matrices; Complex Numbers; Sequences and Series; Trig Functions and their graphs; The Unit Circle; The Laws of Sines and Cosines and solving non-right triangles; Inverse Trig Functions; Polar Coordinates, It’s a lot. It’s also a lot of fun.
