The scope is broader, the approach more mature, and the structure of algebra receives much more attention. Functions included in the course are quadratics, polynomials, rational, exponential and logarithmic. A chapter on trigonometry is also studied.
AP Calculus AB - MTH 361/362
AP Calculus AB - MTH 361/362
Grade: 11,12
Length: 1 year
Credit: 1.0 per semester
Prerequisite: C- or better grade in PreCalculus 2nd semester
College Equivalency: Math 151/152 = 10 credits at EVCC
This course is intended for students who have successfully completed high school math courses through Precalculus and prepares students to take the AP Calculus AB exam, although that is not required as part of the course. AP Calculus is primarily concerned with the development of student’s understanding of the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its applications and methods. The course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results and problems being expressed geometrically, numerically, analytically and verbally. The connections among these representations are also important. Technology (graphing calculators) is used regularly by students. Teachers confirm and reinforce the relationships among the multiple representations. Five college credits per semester through Everett Community College are available.
AP Calculus BC - MTH 363/364
AP Calculus BC - MTH 363/364
Grade: 11,12
Length: 1 year
Credit: 1.0 per semester
Prerequisite: A- in Precalculus, B- or higher in Calculus AB or teacher recommendation
College Equivalency: Math 151/152 = 10 credits at EVCC
Course is designed to prepare students for the AP Calculus BC exam. Most colleges offer credit for successful completion of the AP Calculus AB exam with a score of three or higher, but certain colleges will only accept the Calculus BC exam for credit. Check with the college you intend to attend for information on which test they will accept. Students in this course will complete all of the coursework of AP Calculus AB and will use the same text. Additional topics will be covered on the BC exam, which are not covered on the AB exam, so this course will progress through the material more quickly than the AB course. This course is intended for the serious student and for a student considering an engineering career.
AP Statistics - MTH 365/366
AP Statistics - MTH 365/366
Grade: 12
Length: 1 year
Credits: .5 per semester
Prerequisite: B- or better in PreCalculus
College Equivalency: MATH 146 at EVCC
This course is designed to prepare students for the AP Statistics Exam. Everett Community College credit is also available and transferable to all in-state public and some private institutions of higher learning. This course is concerned with the development of students’ understanding of the concepts of statistics and providing them experience with statistical methodology and its applications. Many college majors require statistics. This course provides an early opportunity to take care of that requirement while still in high school. 5 credits per semester.
