Advanced Quantitative Reasoning

What if Mathematics could be meaningful for your life? This course is designed to promote the use of real mathematics in ways that allow students to make sense of the world. Thematic units allow students to develop 21st century skills while reinforcing and extending mathematics content knowledge. This approach promotes perseverance and cuts across disciplines, thus providing a gateway into successful postsecondary education and a variety of careers. The course is designed, particularly, to ensure that students are ready for credit-bearing mathematics courses in college without the need for remediation.

Statistics

This is a college prep course introducing students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students will be exposed to four broad conceptual themes; exploring data, planning a statistical study, anticipating distribution patterns and statistical inference. The course will include the use of technology, projects and labs, cooperative group problem solving and writing.

Pre Calculus

This course involves a detailed study of trigonometry from both a unit circle and a right triangle perspective. Students will study the six trigonometric functions and their graphs as well as sine and cosine laws. Students will verify trigonometric identities and simplify trigonometric expressions. Students will apply vectors to solve problems. In addition, topics from Algebra II will be extended, including logarithms, sequences and series, and conic sections.

Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in Algebra II and plans for a major that requires Calculus

AP Pre Calculus

In AP Pre-Calculus, students apply the skills developed in Honors Algebra 2 to explore everyday situations and phenomena using mathematical tools and lenses. Students build deep mastery of modeling and functions, apply mathematics to real-world situations and think critically about every topic using multiple representations. Mathematics will frequently be communicated through writing and speaking. The course focuses on content and skills common to college Pre-Calculus courses that are foundational for careers in mathematics, engineering, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science.

CCP Calculus

For Business & Economics

This course is designed for students who plan to pursue a non-STEM post high school major that requires Calculus, such as most business majors, or for STEM intending students who are not yet ready for the rigor of AP Calculus. The major course topics are functions and graphs, limits, continuity, derivatives, techniques of differentiation, applied problems in business and economics, exponential and logarithmic functions, techniques of integration, applications of integration, functions of two variables, partial derivatives and applications. This course also prepares students for additional college mathematics courses. As a CCP course, the student has the opportunity to earn dual high school and college credit.
