| FOUNDATIONS OF ALGEBRA 2 Pre-requisite: Teacher recommendation and/or placement exam. The content covers data interpretation, various types of graphs, graphing equations, writing equations, congruence and similarity of polygons, Pythagorean theorem, slopes, exponents, scientific notation, formal introduction of properties of arithmetic operations, and basic constructions. |
| ALGEBRA 1.1 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Foundations 2 or teacher recommendation. This class is designed for students who need more time to process the Algebra concepts. The material covered will be the same as the 1st semester of the Algebra 1 curriculum; limited calculator use. |
| ALGEBRA 1.2 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Completion of Alg 1.1 or teacher recommendation. This class is the second year of Algebra 1.1. The material covered will be the same as the 2nd semester of Algebra 1 curriculum; limited calculator use. |
| ALGEBRA 1 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Successful completion of Foundations 2 (80% or above) or teacher recommendation. Algebra 1 is the development of the following skills: problem solving, solving equations and proportions, graphing, multiple representations of a situation, solving systems of equations, linear relationships, solving quadratic equations, solving inequalities, simplifying expressions, using exponents, and functions. Calculator suggestions are, but not limited to: TI-30XIIS or TI-30XS Multiview. Classrooms do have graphing calculators for student use during class, but cannot be taken home. |
| GEOMETRY 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Algebra 1 or Algebra 1.1 and 1.2 Geometry is the development of the following skills: study of polygons, transformations, angles and measurement, proofs and similarity, trigonometry, probability, congruence, coordinates, constructions, and conic sections. Calculator suggestions are, but not limited to: TI-30XIIS or TI-30XS Multiview. Classrooms do have graphing calculators for student use during class, but cannot be taken home. |
| ALGEBRA 2 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Geometry Algebra 2 consists of the following content areas: functions, sequences, exponential functions, parabolas, linear systems and matrices, logarithms, and related inverses, polynomial systems, circular functions, trigonometry, probability, counting methods and sampling, and descriptive statistics. Calculator suggestions are, but not limited to: TI-83, TI-84 or TINspire. Classrooms do have graphing calculators for student use during class, but cannot be taken home. |
| TRIGONOMETRY/PRE-CALCULUS 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Algebra 2 The key ideas presented are: transformations of functions, periodic functions and their graphs, area under a curve as a foundation for integration, inverses, exponentials, and logarithmic equations and applications, limits to infinity and at a point, properties of functions including continuity, increasing vs. decreasing, and concavity, average rates of change and instantaneous rates of change as a foundation for derivatives, other graphical systems including polar and parametric, applications of vectors and trigonometric functions, algebraic fluency and simplification techniques and modeling using a variety of functions. Calculator suggestions are, but not limited to: TI-83, TI84 or TiNspire. Note: Many college students sell their graphing calculators upon graduation in the spring. Classrooms do have graphing calculators for student use during class, but cannot be taken home. |
| CALCULUS 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus The key ideas presented in Calculus are: exploring functions, instantaneous rates and Riemann sums, slope functions and curve analysis, the fundamental theorem of calculus, optimization and derivative tools, related rates and integration tools, volumes of revolution, series, parametric, and polar equations, convergence of series, extending calculus to polar and parametric equations, approximating functions and error. Graphing Calculator suggestions are, but not limited to: TI-83, TI84 or TiNspire. Note: Many college students sell their graphing calculators upon graduation in the spring. Classrooms do have graphing calculators for student use during class, but cannot be taken home. |
| APPLIED MATHEMATICS 1 year - 1 credit Pre-requisite: Grades 11 or 12 This class will study mathematics as needed by the consumer and the worker. Topics include, but are not limited to: part-time and full-time work, purchases, credit, taxes and loans, travel and remodeling. A majority of the third quarter will be spent reviewing for the PSAE and ACT. Calculators are recommended. |
| APPLIED MATH STATISTICS 1 year—1 credit Pre-Requisite: Grade 12, “C” or above in Geometry, & teacher recommendation First semester is mathematics as needed by the consumer and the worker. Topics include, but are not limited to: part-time and full-time work, purchases, credit, taxes, loans and travel. Calculators are recommended. Second Semester is the application of statistics, logical argument, estimation and reasonableness of answers, geometry in problem solving and techniques in problem solving. |
