Mathematics education at Nauset Regional High School is determined by the new Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the College Board Advanced Placement Testing Program.
Placement into Integrated I, Algebra I, and Geometry will be determined by teacher recommendation. Calculators may be used for selected topics in Geometry. A TI-83 or TI-84 will be required for all other courses beyond Geometry.
INTEGRATED MATH I, II
Integrated Math I & II is a 2 year course covering necessary skills from Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry. Students taking the Integrated Math program would have to make the commitment for 2 years.
INTEGRATED MATH I
(not approved by NCAA I & II)
MA15 - 1 Math Credit - Full Year
The first year of Integrated Math will cover basic skills ultimately needed to prepare for the MCAS examination. Students will explore basic signed numbers, order of operations, basic equation solving, ratio and proportion, basic geometry skills and basic probability and statistics. Students completing Integrated Math I will be required to take Integrated Math II.
ALGEBRA I / LEVEL A
MA12 - 1 Math Credit - Full Year
This course is designed to deliver a full Algebra I curriculum as mandated by the Massachusetts Frameworks. Students will be expected to be competent in pre-algebra topics and will be expected to routinely complete independent text reading in preparation for each class. The main objective of Algebra I is to develop fluency in working with linear equations.
Students will further their knowledge with tables, graphs, absolute value equations, solve linear equations, solve inequalities, solve systems of linear equations/ inequalities, extend their comprehension of the number system to include irrational numbers, generate equivalent expressions, manipulate and use formulas, simplify polynomials and begin to study quadratic relationships. Functions and relations of ordered pairs will include: domain and range, graphing operations and inverse operations. Upon successful completion of the course, the teacher will recommend the student for either Honors Geometry (MA21), Geometry Level A (MA22) or Geometry Level B (MA23).
The recommendation will be made based on the assessment of the student’s performance and skill level in this course.
