Mathematics

ALGEBRA I 

Course # 3130

Grade 9

1 Credit 

This course is designed to teach students to use algebra as a tool for representing and solving a variety of practical problems. Tables and graphs will be used to interpret algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities and to analyze functions. Graphing calculators, computers, and other appropriate technology tools will be used to assist in teaching and learning. Graphing utilities enhance the understanding of functions; they provide a powerful tool for solving and verifying solutions to equations and inequalities. 

GEOMETRY 

Course # 3143

Grade 9-10

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Algebra I 

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed the standards for Algebra I. The course includes an emphasis on developing reasoning skills through the exploration of geometric relationships including properties of geometric figures, trigonometric relationships, and mathematical proofs. In this course, students use various types of reasoning, justification, and methods of direct and indirect proof and interpret and determine the validity of conditional statements. The standards include emphasis on two- and three-dimensional reasoning skills, coordinate and transformational geometry, and the use of geometric models to solve problems. Technology tools and dynamic geometry applications will be used to assist in teaching and learning.

ALGEBRA, FUNCTIONS, AND DATA ANALYSIS (AFDA) 

Course # 3134

Grade 10-11

1 Credit

Prerequisite: Geometry 

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed the standards for Algebra I and Geometry and who may not be ready for the rigor of Algebra II. Students study mathematical modeling and data analysis, functions and their behaviors, systems of inequalities, probability, experimental design and implementation, and analysis of data.  

ALGEBRA II 

Course # 3135

Grade 9-12

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Geometry or AFDA 

This course will provide a thorough treatment of advanced algebraic concepts through the study of functions, equations, inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, polynomials, rational expressions, complex numbers, sequences and series, and statistics. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications and modeling throughout the course of study. Oral and written communication concerning the language of algebra, logic of procedures, and interpretation of results will also permeate the course. Graphing utilities, computers, spreadsheets, and other technology tools will be used to assist in teaching and learning. 

TRIGONOMETRY/ALGEBRA III 

Course # 3155

Grade 10-12

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Algebra II 

This course provides students with a foundation in advanced algebra and trigonometry that is necessary for success in college-level mathematics courses. Trigonometry includes the study of trigonometric definitions, applications, graphing, and solving trigonometric equations and inequalities. In addition to trigonometry, students are exposed to more advanced algebra topics, such as: complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and topics from analytic geometry. 

PRECALCULUS 

Course # 3161

Grade 11-12

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Trig/Algebra III 

This course is designed for students planning to go on to AP Calculus. It is a rigorous study of advanced algebra, a comprehensive study of functions, and an extensive study of trigonometry. Introduction to limits and other ideas used in calculus will also be studied. A graphing device is used during the course. 

ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS AB 

Course # 3177

Grade 12

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus

This course is designed for those students who will be taking calculus or courses that require a background in calculus at a college or university. Students study differential calculus during the first semester and integral calculus during the second semester. Throughout the year, students are presented with a variety of real life applications of the derivative and the integral. The course is aligned with College Board’s Advanced Placement curriculum for AP Calculus. It is expected that the student will take the AP exam for this course. Students are responsible for the test fee and cost of supplemental course materials.

PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS 

Course # 3190

Grade 10-12

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Algebra II

This course is a year-long course designed to introduce the basic concepts and techniques for collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and making predictions.  Graphing utilities (calculators, computers, and other technology tools) will be used to assist in teaching and learning. Graphing utilities facilitate visualizing, analyzing, and understanding algebraic and statistical behaviors and provide a powerful tool for solving and verifying solutions.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT STATISTICS 

Course # 3192

Grade 11-12

1 Credit 

Prerequisite: Probability and Statistics

This course is for the college- bound students who desire in-depth study in statistics before entering college. This course is designed specifically for those that wish to take the AP Test to earn college credit. Students are expected to be able to work independently and to have strong problem-solving skills as the course requires a consistent level of abstract thinking and application of concepts. The course is aligned with College Board’s Advanced Placement curriculum for AP Statistics and covers the topics of Data Analysis, Probability, Experimental Design, and Statistical Inference.
