Mathematics
The content of the mathematics program motivates and excites students as they begin to make connections between new concepts and real world experiences. Each content area offers an array of lesson features, challenging activities, and thought provoking applications that correlate with problem solving, communication, reasoning, and connections. Using re-teaching, practice and enrichment activities, as well as computer investigations support and enhance the content, making this Mathematics program outstanding for students of varying ability levels.
Algebra I (Prerequisite: Successful completion of Pre-Algebra)
The study of Algebra I helps students understand the basic structure relating to real numbers. The students will develop their skills by exploring a comprehensive knowledge of quadratic equations, relationships between two linear equations, graphing and its association with linear equations and inequalities. As students develop these techniques, they apply them to appropriate practical problems in multiple cross curriculum areas. 1 credit
Geometry (Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I)
Geometry uses shapes to develop visual thinking and student ability to construct, reason, interpret and apply mathematical models of patterns to the world. Students will solve problems involving perimeter, area, and volume of two and three-dimensional figures. 1 credit
Algebra II & Trigonometry ( Prerequisite: Successful completion of Geometry)
This course will extend the study of the real number system introduced in Algebra I. It includes a thorough investigation of all operations with irrational numbers. Techniques for simplifying irrational numbers, the study of functions, and solutions to linear systems of equations will be covered. The complex number system will be introduced as well as the definition of trigonometric functions and their applications. 1 credit
Advanced Math Pre-Calculus (Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra II & Trigonometry)
This course is designed for those who intend to do further work in mathematics, science, or engineering. Topics include the complex and real number system, algebraic and non-algebraic functions, logarithms and trigonometry. Scientific calculators will be used during this course. 1 credit
Calculus (Prerequisite: Successful completion of Advanced Math Pre-Calculus)
This course is an extension of the Pre-Calculus course and designed for those who intend to do further work in mathematics, science or engineering. Topics include matrix operations, analytical geometry, arithmetic and geometric sequences, techniques and applications of differentiation and integration. 1 credit
