Algebra I - By the end of 8th grade students have learned to solve linear equations and have applied graphical methods to analyze systems of equations. In Algebra I students will expand on this knowledge. Students will develop fluency in writing, interpreting, and translating among various forms of linear equations and inequalities. They will expand on their knowledge of functions to include exponential and quadratic equations. Students will also do extensive work with polynomials.
Geometry - This course will present to the student an in-depth study of fundamental ideas of plane and solid geometry necessary for advanced topics of high school mathematics. Students will develop powers of spatial visualization, while building their knowledge of the relationship among geometric elements as well as understanding deductive methods of problem solving with an appreciation for the need for precision of language.
Algebra II - This course teaches solving and graphing equations, inequalities, quadratic and higher order equations. It further includes extensive study of polynomials, radical expressions, the complex number system, matrices, introduction to logarithms as well as some probability and statistics.
Enhanced Algebra II / Pre-Calc - This course includes a deeper dive into functions including logarithms, the utilization of theorems to locate roots of polynomials of degree greater than two and linear vs angular velocity. The course emphasizes trigonometric concepts and applications. Graphing calculators will be incorporated extensively for problem solving and mathematical modeling.
Calculus - both AP and college prep are offered
This course offers an intensive and extensive coverage of first semester college calculus. This course begins with the topic of limits then proceeds to continuity, asymptotes, differentiation, curve-sketching, optimization problems, related rates, integration, sigma notation, definite and indefinite integrals, differential equations, areas, volumes, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, and techniques of integration.
Students who elect to take AP Calculus are required to take the AP exam in May, and if they do well, may be placed in Calculus II as a college freshman and/or receive college credit
Electives:
we offer both college prep level and AP Statistics
for those students that struggle with mathematics we offer the class project based math. This class uses the concepts from Algebra I & Geometry and applies them to projects. a few topics from Algebra II are also used
If you enjoy math and movies then Advanced Math Topics is for you. This course is all about the math used in movies.
One class that all students should take is Financial Analysis. This class is all about managing your money. Topics include credit cards, financing a car, stock market and making a budget
