Math 3 is the third year course for our college prep sequence. Students explore polynomial functions, transformations, polynomial arithmetic, the binomial theorem, solving polynomial functions, rational functions, logarithms, trigonometry including the law of Sines and law of Cosines, graphing, radials, and proving identities.
The Math 3a course is set up to meet the needs of students grades (9-11) with demonstrated talent in mathematics coming out of Math 2 (with teacher recommendation.) Math 3a is an accelerated course with more difficult problems than Math 3. There is not an additional grade point awarded in this class and students should be aware that this is a very rigorous and challenging course.
