Course Information

Geometry

In Geometry, students will continue to build on the essential foundations in Kindergarten – Grade 8 and Algebra 1 as they expand and strengthen their mathematical reasoning skills in geometric contexts. This course provides students with a better understanding of geometric thinking and spatial reasoning; geometric figures and their properties; the relationship between geometry, other mathematics, and other disciplines; tools for geometric thinking and underlying mathematical processes. Though this course is primarily Euclidean geometry, students should complete the course with an understanding that non-Euclidean geometries exist. The key concepts for this course include geometric structure, geometric patterns, dimensionality and the geometry of location, congruence and the geometry of size, and similarity and the geometry of shape. In Geometry, Carnegie Learning will be used to deliver the lessons along with guided notes from the teacher.

Pre - Calculus

Precalculus is the preparation for calculus. The course approaches topics from a function point of

view, where appropriate, and is designed to strengthen and enhance conceptual understanding and

mathematical reasoning used when modeling and solving mathematical and real-world problems.

Students systematically work with functions and their multiple representations. The study of

Precalculus deepens students' mathematical understanding and fluency with algebra and

trigonometry and extends their ability to make connections and apply concepts and procedures at higher levels. Students investigate and explore mathematical ideas, develop multiple strategies for

analyzing complex situations, and use technology to build understanding, make connections

between representations, and provide support in solving problems.
