Algebra I
Algebra I
Prerequisite: Recommendation from previous teacher
Open to Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
1 Math credit
Full year course
Algebra I is designed to teach the basic structure of the Real Number System and help the student acquire an ability in applying algebraic concepts and skills. This course not only stresses the “how” it also stresses “why.” Deductive reasoning and the need for precise language are stressed. Students who receive a C or better in 8th grade pre-algebra should take this course.
Geometry
Geometry
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Open to Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
1 Math credit
Full year course
This course will help the student to: develop powers of spatial visualization; recognize the way in which Algebra and Geometry complement each other; perceive the role of inductive and deductive reasoning in both mathematical and non mathematical situations; further strengthen basic Algebra skills; and appreciate the need for clarity and precision of language. We recommend that students who have a C or below in Algebra I consult with their teacher before registering for Geometry.
Advanced Placement Statistics
Advanced Placement Statistics
Prerequisite: C or better in Algebra II and/or consent of instructor
Open to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors
1 Math credit
Full year course
This one year course will introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. By taking this course students are prepared to take the AP Statistics exam. Most colleges grant credit for a passing score on the AP exam. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes:
Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures from patterns
Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study
Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation
Statistical Inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses
