Pre-Algebra

303 - Pre-Algebra Full Year (2 Blocks: Meets Every Day) 2 credits

Prerequisite:  teacher recommendation 

Pre-algebra is a course designed to introduce students to the language of Algebra.  Emphasis will be placed on translating English into algebraic form. Expressions, equations and inequalities, domains of numbers, number theory, operations with rational numbers, inequalities, percents, area and volume, probability, statistics and graphs will also be covered.  Technology will be used on a regular basis.  Students who successfully complete Pre-Algebra will receive two credits (1 Math Credit and 1 General Elective Credit).

Geometry

310 - Geometry Full Year 1 credit

Prerequisite:  Algebra I and teacher recommendation 

Geometry is about shapes and their properties.  This course will place an emphasis on writing formal proofs, as well as students using algebra to solve geometric problems.  The following topics will be addressed: angles, parallel and perpendicular lines and planes, polygons with emphasis on triangles and quadrilaterals, similarity, circles, constructions, coordinate geometry, perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes, and surface area and volume of three-dimensional solids. During the course, students will be expected to write “formal” algebraic and geometric proofs. 

Honors Geometry

311 - Honors Geometry Full Year 1 credit

Prerequisite:  10th Grade Only, Accelerated Algebra, or teacher recommendation

Honors Geometry will be a proof-oriented, accelerated, in-depth course in Euclidean geometry.  Students should have high interest and aptitude in mathematics and be willing to work and learn at a challenging pace. Topics covered include angles, parallel and perpendicular lines and planes, polygons with emphasis on triangles and quadrilaterals, similarity, circles, constructions, coordinate geometry, perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes, and surface area and volume of three-dimensional solids.
