Math Support

Course Number: 

Gr: 

Length: Yr.

Credit: 1 credit

Prerequisite:  Students will be placed in this course based on their state testing scores.

This course is designed to assist students in organizing their approach to mathematics and navigating high school successfully. The focus will be on preparing for the End of Course exams for Algebra 1. Students will receive guidance from a teacher who is not their Algebra 1 instructor, allowing them to enhance their math skills, ranging from basic facts to current Algebra 1 concepts.

Students will engage in additional practice with End of Course exam questions and receive strategic advice on how to effectively answer these questions. Moreover, this class will provide students support in tracking missing assignments and offer guidance on how to communicate and interact with their other teachers.

Enrollment in this course is by recommendation only.

NCAA Approved

Prerequisite: A or B in Algebra I Academic or an A in Algebra I with teacher recommendation

This course aims to formalize and extend the geometry that students have learned in previous courses. It does this by focusing on establishing triangle congruence criteria using rigid motions and formal constructions and building a formal understanding of similarity based on dilations and proportional reasoning. It also helps students develop the concepts of formal proof, explore the properties of two- and three-dimensional objects, work within the rectangular coordinate system to verify geometric relationships and prove basic theorems about circles. Students also use the language of set theory to compute and interpret probabilities for compound events. On a daily basis, students in Advanced Geometry use problem-solving strategies, questioning, investigating, analyzing critically, gathering and constructing evidence, and communicating rigorous arguments justifying their thinking. Students learn in collaboration with others while sharing information, expertise, and ideas.
