Math

335.1 SAT Prep, Advanced College Preparatory, Grade 11, Semester 1, 2.50 credits 

The course will focus on topics assessed in the SAT I mathematics examination.  Included in this course are the topics of logical reasoning, elementary set theory, sequences and series, linear equations and inequalities, quadratic functions, geometry and measurement, data interpretation, and elementary probability.  Students are given daily assignments and should expect to spend at least 30 minutes per night completing them. The course is recommended for students who have taken or are currently enrolled in Algebra II. 

360.1 Advanced Placement Statistics, Grades 11-12, Full Year, 5.00 credits

This course presents students with work comparable to full year descriptive and inferential statistics courses in colleges and universities. Topics will range from frequency distributions, box plots and histograms, to computations such as the mean, variance, standard deviation, and z-scores.  Various avenues in probability will be explored, such as the Fundamental Counting Principle, conditional probability, combinations, and permutations.  Several distributions will be studied:  normal, binomial, chi-squared, and t-distributions as well as hypothesis testing.  The Central Limit Theorem will be analyzed and applied to diverse problem situations.  This course is designed to prepare students to take the Advanced Placement Statistics exam in May.  Students are given daily assignments and should expect to spend as much as 45 minutes per night completing them. A graphing calculator is required.  The curriculum is guided by the College Board® standards for advanced placement. Students enrolled are expected to take the Advanced Placement exam in May.

361.1 Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Advanced College Prep, Grade 12, Full Year, 5.00 Credits

This course is designed to provide an introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics include analyzing, graphing and interpreting data; measures of central tendency and dispersion; combinations and permutations; probability; sampling methods and study designs; normal, binomial and geometric distributions; and Linear Regression. Emphasis will be placed on applications of statistical concepts in real world scenarios. The course will use graphing calculators, Desmos and Excel/Sheets frequently. Prerequisite: Algebra II. 

363.1 Advanced Placement Computer Science A, Grades 11-12, Full Year, 5.00 credits 

Fulfills requirement for a third year lab science course

AP Computer Science A introduces students to computer science through programming. Fundamental topics in this course include the design of solutions to problems, the use of data structures to organize large sets of data, the development and implementation of algorithms to process data and discover new information, the analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing systems. The course emphasizes object-oriented programming and design using the Java programming language. AP Computer Science A is equivalent to a first-semester, college-level course in computer science. The curriculum is guided by the College Board® standards for advanced placement. Students enrolled are expected to take the Advanced Placement exam in May. Prerequisite: Algebra II
