Math

ALGEBRA I:  

A freshman level algebra course designed to give students a thorough foundation of algebra concepts for Geometry, Algebra II, and the ACT/SAT. Studies include quadratics, linear systems, graphing, statistics and probability. The use of graphing calculators and Chromebooks will be encouraged throughout the entire year. This course is available to 8th grade students for high school credit.  

GEOMETRY: 

Students study mathematical ideas in depth through applications and practical problems. This course integrates standard approaches, coordinates, and transformations, building throughout on the students’ knowledge in algebra. 

ALGEBRA II: 

This more advanced, full year course is a continuation of Algebra I including logic, real numbers, linear relations, graphing straight lines, imaginary numbers, systems of equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, statistics and probability, and matrices and determinants.  This class integrates both conceptual and experiential skills and knowledge and is designed for the more serious math student. 

FUNCTIONS & STATISTICS: 

This course will focus on helping students make practical connections for uses of math.  It will promote college/work readiness by having students build and apply their knowledge and skills of functions and statistics.  Students’ future plans and interests will be drawn into topics of study.  This course is recommended for junior and senior students and is designed to improve mathematical skills and prepare them for the state mandated tests.

PRE-CALCULUS:  

A course of study designed to prepare the student for calculus through study in the following areas: relations and functions, trigonometry, inequalities and linear programming, polar coordinates and complex numbers, conic sections, matrices and vectors, sequences and series, probability, statistics, and data analysis. Prerequisite: “C” or above Algebra II.  Daily homework/study time is 1 hour.

AP CALCULUS: 

A course of study designed to prepare students for the fields of engineering, economics, life science, physical science, and mathematics. Areas of study will include pre-calculus review, limits and their properties, differentiation, integration, inverse functions and problem solving using calculus.  AP test is required. 

Prerequisite:  “C” or above in Honors Pre-Calculus.  Daily homework/study time is 1 ½ -2 hours.
