Kealakehe High School Elective Guide

MCA1030 AP PRECALCULUS

Math Sequence of Courses: 3 required for graduation

ALGEBRA 1 (REQUIRED)

Explore the world of shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships! This course focuses on points, lines, and figures — including parallel and perpendicular lines, congruence, similarity, symmetry, and transformations. You’ll study right triangles, trigonometry, circles, and 3D figures while learning to connect geometric concepts to real-world problem-solving and design.

GEOMETRY (REQUIRED)

Explore the world of shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships! This course focuses on points, lines, and figures — including parallel and perpendicular lines, congruence, similarity, symmetry, and transformations. You’ll study right triangles, trigonometry, circles, and 3D figures while learning to connect geometric concepts to real-world problem-solving and design.
