IB MYP Geometry I & II (9-10)

4052/4053

Prerequisite: Completion of MYP Algebra 1-8 (or its equivalent)

This course introduces students to the language of geometry and teaches them to reason logically about geometric relationships. Unit topics include: Geometric Reasoning, Lines & Angles, Triangle Congruence, Triangles Similarity, Right Triangles, Plane Figures, Surface Area, Volume, Circles, Coordinate Geometry, and Probability. A scientific calculator with data capabilities is used in this course.

Accelerated High School Algebra/Algebra 2 (9-10)

4450/4451

Prerequisite: Successful completion of IB MYP Geometry (or its equivalent)

This course continues the discussion of algebraic concepts including linear, quadratic, and exponential functions from the High School Algebra course, but it also explores other families of functions: polynomial, absolute value, logarithmic, radical, rational, and periodic. Students learn to represent these functions in multiple ways -- as verbal descriptions, equations, tables and graphs. Functions are used to model and solve real-world problems. Unit topics include: Linear Systems, Linear Programming, Solving Quadratic Equations, Rational Exponents & Roots, Families of Functions, Polynomials, Rational Expressions & Equations, Statistics, and Sequences & Series. A scientific calculator with data capabilities is used in this course. Successful completion of this course (or its equivalent) is a requirement for graduation.

IB MYP High School Algebra I & II (10)

4458/4459

Prerequisite: Successful completion of IB MYP Geometry (or its equivalent)

Unit topics include: Solving Equations and Inequalities, Linear Equations and Functions, Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities, Piecewise Functions, Exponents and Exponential Functions, Polynomials and Factoring, Quadratic Functions, Solving Quadratic Equations, Working with Functions, and Statistics.

IB Core Topics (10)

4759/4760

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Accelerated HS Algebra/Algebra 2 or Algebra 2

This course is designed as an intro to the A & A SL/HL sequence of courses. This is a prerequisite course for the A & A. Topics covered include: Numbers and Algebra, Functions, Geometry and Trigonometry, Stats and Probability, and Calculus. The TI-84 is used extensively in this course. This course sequence is designed for students who are highly motivated mathematics students.
