ALGEBRA 1A

Grade Level: 9 No. Semesters: 2

Credit: 1-Math

Prerequisite: None

This is the first year in a 2 year sequence covering the same content of Algebra I, however, extra emphasis will be place on remediation of prerequisite skills and problem solving in order to ensure all students can successfully master the concepts of Algebra.

ALGEBRA IB

Grade Level: 9-10 No. Semesters: 2

Credit: 1-Math

Prerequisite: Algebra 1A

this is the second course of a 2 year sequence. The course prepares and sets the foundation for all math courses after Algebra 1, such as Geometry, Algebra 2, and PreCalculus. Algebra 1B continues with your knowledge of solving equations but expands to include quadratic equations and exponential functions, plus a variety of algebraic tools that are useful beyond Algebra 1 and prepare you for Algebra 2

ALGEBRA I

Grade Level: 9-10 No. Semesters: 2

Credit: 1-Math

Prerequisite: 9th:“C” or better in Pre-Algebra; 10th : Teacher permission

Includes beginning algebra skills, probability, statistics, patterns, functions, linear equations and inequalities,systems of equations and inequalities, polynomials, and quadratic equations. Real-world applications and communication skills are stressed. This is the introductory course in college-preparatory mathematics. Students will take the EOC exam. 8th grade students will be allowed to take this with teacher recommendation.

GEOMETRY

Grade Level: 10-12 No. Semesters: 2

Credit: 1-Math

Prerequisite: ”C” or better in Algebra I or Algebra I concepts

This course is the second in the college-preparatory mathematics sequence. It includes algebra skills, visual thinking, the foundations of geometry, angles, parallel lines, triangles, area, polygons and polyhedra, and similarity. Real-world applications and communication skills are stressed.

ALGEBRA II

Grade Level: 10-12 No. Semesters: 2

Credit: 1-Math

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I or Applied Algebra I

This course is the third in the college-preparatory sequence. Topics include mathematical models, linear functions, equations and inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities, patterns, quadratic functions and relations, powers and roots, polynomials and polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, probability, and statistics. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be ready for

College Algebra. Students will take the EOC test if they have not previously taken a math EOC test in high school (this can happen if the student take Algebra I in 8th grade).

DC COLLEGE ALGEBRA

Grade Level: 11-12 No. Semesters: 2

Credit: 1-Math

Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra II.

College Est Fee: $300

For dual credit in this course, students must have scored at least a 22 on the math portion of the ACT or pass the placement test provided by the university for dual credit. This course will be more rigorous than its prerequisites. Algebra skills will be reviewed and strengthened. Other topics taught will include functions such as polynomial, exponential, rational, and logarithms along with their graphs, systems of equations and inequalities, sequences, series, linear programming, conic sections, complex roots or polynomials, matrices, and decomposition of functions. Students may take the class for college credit as a dual credit course, however all students enrolled will take the university mid-term and final. No finals exemptions allowed.
