This course is a foundational course focused on the geometry of shapes, planes and space. Emphasis is placed on understanding, applying, justifying, and developing geometric properties in two and three dimensions. Students will engage in an in depth study of geometric reasoning, coordinate geometry, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangle congruence, properties of polygons and circles, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, area, and volume. Students will apply this learning to solve real-world mathematical problems.  The distinction between this course and Geometry is the pacing and depth at which the above content is covered. 

Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12
1 Credit
Prerequisite: Algebra, Geometry 

This course is a continuation of the algebra course, but also builds upon topics covered in the geometry class. Topics will include a review of linear functions, inequalities, and systems, and will build upon previous knowledge of polynomials, factoring, and exponents. Other topics include solving and graphing of higher degree polynomials, rational expressions, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and thorough study of trigonometry, including trigonometric functions, solving and graphing of trigonometric functions, and trigonometric identities. 

Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12
1 Credit
Prerequisite:  Algebra, Geometry with minimum grade of B in both courses. Teacher Approval Required.

This course is a continuation of both Algebra I and Geometry with an emphasis on higher level thinking, problem solving and application. Topics will include an in depth study of linear functions, inequalities, and systems of linear and non-linear equations and inequalities.  The course will also build upon previous knowledge of polynomials, factoring, and exponents to include other topics such as solving and graphing of higher degree polynomials, rational expressions, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and a thorough study of trigonometry, including trigonometric functions, solving and graphing of trigonometric functions, and trigonometric identities.
