Algebra 1 (1 credit) Required 8 or 9
This course builds upon a number of key algebra topics assumed to have been developed in the middle grades, namely a deep knowledge of linear patterns of change and familiarity with nonlinear patterns such as exponential and quadratic. It is expected that students entering Algebra 1 are able to recognize and solve mathematical and real-world problems involving linear relationships and to make sense of and move fluently among the graphic, numeric, symbolic, and verbal representations of these patterns. In addition, students should be able to apply this knowledge to quadratic and other simple functions.
Geometry (1 credit) Required 9 or 10
Pre-requisite: C or better in Algebra 1
Option for Honors
The Geometry course includes a study of plain, solid, and coordinate geometry as they relate to both abstract and mathematical concepts as well as real world problem situations. Topics include logic and proof, parallel lines and polygons, perimeter and area analysis, volume and surface area analysis, similarity and congruence, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Emphasis will be placed on developing critical thinking skills as they relate to logical reasoning and argument. Students will be required to use different technological tools and manipulatives to discover and explain much of the course content.
Algebra 2 (1 credit) Required 10 or 11
Pre-requisite: C or better in Algebra 1 & Geometry
Option for Honors
In Algebra 2, fundamental skills of mathematics will be applied to such topics as functions, equations, and inequalities, radical and rational functions, logarithmic, and exponential relationships, quadratic and polynomial equations, and trigonometry. Technology will be used to introduce and expand upon the areas of study listed above. Use of graphing calculators would be incorporated into each chapter. algebra to build a foundation of mathematics for those students going into precalculus and/or students who are College bound. Along with many colleges, injury of careers require a successful completion of an Algebra 2 course.
Pre-Calculus (1 credit) 11-12
Pre-requisite: B or better in Algebra 2
Honors Level Course
This is a weighted class.
This course studies the topics, concepts, and procedures of pre-calculus and deepens students understanding algebra and extends their ability to apply algebra concepts and procedures to higher conceptual levels as a tool and as the study of other subjects. The theory and applications of trigonometry and functions are developed in depth. New mathematical tools, such as vectors, matrices, and polar coordinates are introduced with an eye toward modeling real-life situations. Learning advanced algebraic techniques and problem solving to prepare students were taking higher level mathematics in the future.
Calculus (1 credit) 11-12
Pre-requisite: B or better in Pre-Calculus
This is a weighted class.
Upon completion of this course the student should be familiar with basic concepts of the limit, the derivative and integral, the fundamental properties of each and their relationship to each other. The student should be able to use techniques of differentiation and integration and be aware of the physical and geometrical significance of these basic processes. The student should be able to use the tools of calculus in a variety of applications. Students will learn how to do differential and integral calculus equivalent to a Calculus 1 class offered in college. Students will be given the opportunity to take the AP Calculus test at the end of the course to potentially receive college credit for the course.
Personal Finance (1 credit) Required 12
This class will help students navigate the financial decisions they face today and tomorrow as they learn financial management skills. They will learn what to do with their money by learning about their financial options and their responsibilities—and they will learn about the consequences of mismanaged finances. Students will learn about basic personal finances, which they will need to be successful as an adult. they will learn about careers and education, budgeting, saving, renting and buying, taxes, Investments, insurance, and retirement planning.
Statistics Honors (1 credit) 10-12
Pre-requisite: C or better in Algebra 2
Honors Level Course
This is a weighted class.
Students will be taught standards equivalent to an introductory statistics class taught in college. students want to get option of taking the AP test statistics test at the end of the course to potentially receive college credit for the course.
