Algebra I– 5 credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of 8th grade math or Interactive Algebra
This course includes such topics as elementary set theory, number system, solution of equations, systems of equations, exponents, radicals, relations, functions, geometry and data analysis. An emphasis is placed on mastery of concepts.
Algebra I(Accelerated) – 5 credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of 8th grade math or Interactive Algebra
This course includes such topics as elementary set theory, number system, solution of equations, systems of equations, exponents, radicals, relations, functions, geometry and data analysis. The students will use technology to deepen their understanding and solve more complex problems.
Adv. Algebra & Trigonometry – 5 credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I and II
This course is designed for the college bound who has elected not to take Pre-Calculus or Statistics but still desire to take a rigorous mathematics class as their 4th year of math. Topics of study will include: rational functions and conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions, basic trigonometric functions, analytic trigonometry, law of sine and cosine, sequences, counting principles and probability. Students will use technology to heighten their understanding and to solve more complex problems.
Computer Science A(Advanced Placement)– 5 credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I(Algebra II recommended)
Students will learn to design and implement computer programs that solve problems relevant to today's society, including art, media, and engineering. AP Computer Science A teaches object-oriented programming using the Java language and is meant to be the equivalent of a first semester, college level course in computer science. In will emphasize problem solving and algorithm development, and use hands-on experiences and examples so students can apply programming tools and solve complex problems. This course will prepare students for the end-of-course AP Exam.
Introduction to Computer Science– 2.5 credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I or teacher recommendation
This half year course is designed to offer an introduction to computer science. Students will learn the basics of computer programming along with the basics of computer science. The material emphasizes computational thinking and helps develop the ability to solve complex problems. It gives a foundation in the tools used in the field and prepares students for further study in computer science. The primary coding language is Python. *Runs sequentially with robotics.
