Course Offerings
PRE-ALGEBRA
1 - 2 Semesters depending on student needs. Pre-Algebra will cover the real number system, introduction to functions, domain/range, plotting points and graphing, solving multi-step equations, proportions and percents, slope/rate of change and basic linear functions, as well as a review of any foundational math skills as needed.
ALGEBRA I
1-3 Semesters depending on student needs. This course presents the basic structure of Algebra in the real number system, which includes: solving equations and inequalities, writing/graphing linear equations and inequalities, systems, data analysis, polynomials, and exponents/exponential functions.
GEOMETRY
2-3 Semesters depending on student needs. This course proceeds from basic concepts of geometry, such as point, line, and plane, to the study of triangle congruence, parallel and perpendicular lines in a plane, polygons, transformations, similarity, the Pythagorean Theorem, circles, and area and volume of two-dimensional figures, as well as of solid objects, and right triangle trigonometry. Students will use inductive and deductive reasoning to solve problems and complete proofs.
ADVANCED ALGEBRA WITH FINANCIAL APPLICATIONS
2 Semesters - Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications is a mathematical modeling course that is based in algebraic reasoning, application driven and technology dependent. The course addresses college prep topics under eight financial headings: Discretionary Expenses, Banking, Investing, Credit, Employment and Income Taxes, Automobile Ownership, Independent Living and Retirement Planning and Household Budgeting. The course allows student to experience the interrelatedness of mathematical topics, find patterns, make conjectures and extrapolate from known situations to unknown situations. The topics contained in this course are introduced, developed and applied in an as-needed format in the financial settings covered. This course is a good alternative as a 3rd year math after Algebra 1 and Geometry but is also a solid option as an elective credit, separate from other math pathways such as Pre-calculus and Calculus.
ALGEBRA 2
This course is designed to strengthen and expand on the concepts of Algebra I to prepare students to be successful in higher-level mathematics courses in high school and college. Technology (scientific and graphing calculators) is used throughout the course. Algebra concepts studied include: systems of linear equations and inequalities, absolute values, probability, statistics, factoring, matrices, properties of exponents and radicals, quadratics, polynomials, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and rational equations. Students will become proficient in performing algebraic manipulations.
PRECALCULUS
2 Semesters - This course is designed to give students a rigorous study of advanced Algebra and trigonometric concepts. This is essential for a student to be successful in a Calculus course. Graphing technology will be used extensively throughout the course to investigate topics and solve problems. Topics covered will include: Sequences and series, linear functions, polynomials, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, rational functions, and trigonometric equations and functions.
STATISTICS, CALCULUS, AP and other higher level maths are offered through a variety of platforms.
