Recommended Course: Successful Completion Secondary Math 1
Secondary Math 2 will include geometric topics. This course emphasizes the study of the properties and applications. It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry. Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem-solving situations. It also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures.
Course #: 304 & 305 Length: 2 Trimesters Grade Level: 10-12 Credit: 1.0
Recommended Course: Successful Completion Secondary Math 1 and 2
Secondary Math 3 offers traditional advanced algebra and trigonometry topics. Advanced algebraic topics include linear, quadratic, and polynomial functions, ration functions, and exponential and logarithmic functions. Trigonometry includes the periodic functions sine, cosine, tangent. This course also includes an introduction to probability and statistics. This course will help students to prepare for the ACT.
Course #: 310 & 311 Length: 2 Trimesters Grade Level: 10-12 Credit: 1.0
AP Precalculus will prepare students for other college-level mathematics and science classes. The skills learned in this course are foundational not only for success in required college math courses, but also for careers in math, physics, biology, health science, data science and social science. The class will be made up of the following units: Polynomial and Rational Functions; Exponential and Logarithmic Functions; Trigonometric and Polar Functions; and Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices.
Through these units, students will gain a deep conceptual understanding of functions and their graphs and learn how to model and interpret models of functions, while developing and honing symbolic manipulation skills needed for future math courses. By the end of the course, students will have established a strong foundation of higher math skills. The use of a graphing calculator and technology is an integral part of this course.
Course #: 314 & 315 Length: 2 Trimesters Grade Level: 11-12 Credit: 1.0
Recommended Course: Successful Completion Secondary Math 1 and 2 *Students may not take this course after successful completion of Pre-Calculous or AP Statistics.
This may be taken after Secondary Math 2 in preparation for Secondary Math 3 or technical college/career options. This course is a great stepping stone if you do not feel ready for Secondary Math 3. This course offers algebra topics with applications. Learners develop algebraic problem solving techniques needed for technical problem solving and for more advanced algebraic studies. Topics include linear equations, exponents, polynomials, rational expressions, and roots and radicals. Successful completion of this course prepares learners to succeed in technical mathematics courses. Students receiving a grade of C or higher and pass 70% of the class competencies will receive the 3 credits at Madison College. THIS COURSE MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT BY THE NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE.
Course #: 323 & 324 Length: 2 Trimesters Grade Level: 11-12 Credit: 1.0
Recommended Course: None
All students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. A collaborative, activity-based approach is used in this course to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem solving using linear, exponential, and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts. This course is not designed for Science, Engineering, or Math students and/or others who require calculus. (This course may be used as the prerequisite for Quantitative Reasoning, Principles of Geometry, General Chemistry, and/or Survey of Physics at MATC.) Students receiving a grade of C or higher and pass 70% of the class competencies will receive the 3 credits at Madison College. THIS COURSE MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT BY THE NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE.
Course #: 318 Length: 1 Trimester Grade Level: 11-12 Credit: 0.5
Recommended Course: Secondary Math 3
Discrete Mathematics involves applications using discrete variables rather than continuous variables, modeling and understanding finite systems is central to the development of the economy, the natural and physical sciences, and mathematics itself. Discrete Mathematics introduces the topics of social choice as a mathematical application, matrices and their uses, graph theory and its applications, and counting and finite probability, as well as the processes of optimization, existence, and algorithm construction. Emerging technologies are incorporated into the curriculum as they become available.
Course #: 319 Length: 1 Trimester Grade Level: 11-12 Credit: 0.5
Recommended Course: Secondary Math 3
This course introduces students to descriptive statistics, data collection, probability, and statistical inference. This course may be useful to the student interested in biological sciences, business, social science, psychology, and economics.
Course #: 330 & 331 Length: 2 Trimesters Grade Level: 11-12 Credit: 1.0
Recommended Course: Pre-Calculus
This intensive course is designed to fully prepare a student for the national Calculus AB Advanced Placement exam. This course is recommended for anyone interested in a career in mathematics, engineering, science or business economics.
