Courses | |
Pre-algebra | This course is an entry-level course designed to prepare students for Algebra I. Topics include: order of operations, variables, integers, solving both equations and inequalities, and graphing. The typical student who takes this course will most likely follow it with Algebra I or Geometry followed by a math elective in their senior year to complete their three-credit mathematics graduation requirements. |
Algebra I - CP | This course deals with math topics in a more general, broad, application based approach. Topics include: number sets, variables, properties of real numbers, linear equations, functions, relations, polynomials, and graphs. Algebra I is a requirement for graduation, as well as students pursuing post secondary education, including college, and those interested in a career in the Armed Forces. |
Algebra I - H | This course builds upon the Algebra I in middle school experience and ensures all topics are covered in depth to prepare students for the Honors math track toward Calculus Advanced Placement. Topics include: number sets, variables, properties of real numbers, linear equations, functions, relations, polynomials, and graphs. Algebra is a requirement for graduation, as well as students pursuing post-secondary education, including college, and those interested in a career in the Armed Forces. |
Pre-calculus -CP | This course emphasizes concepts and applications in the areas of linear equations, quadratic equations, logarithms, exponential functions, polynomials, imaginary numbers, graphing inequalities, trigonometric functions, limits, and finite and infinite series/sequences. This course is designed to help students succeed in the Advanced Placement Calculus (AB) |
Calculus - AP | This course builds upon the Algebra I in middle school experience and ensures all topics are covered in depth to prepare students for the Honors math track toward Calculus Advanced Placement. Topics include: number sets, variables, properties of real numbers, linear equations, functions, relations, polynomials, and graphs. Algebra is a requirement for graduation, as well as students pursuing post-secondary education, including college, and those interested in a career in the Armed Forces. |
Geometry - CP | This course is designed to improve the student’s understanding of Geometry and how it helps us to represent, describe, and make sense of the world around us. Students will extend their basic knowledge of geometric concepts from prior courses to develop an understanding of geometric ideas, properties, and relationships, using labs and applications to the working world, as well as appropriate technology. |
Geometry - H | This course is designed to improve the student’s understanding of Geometry and how it helps us to represent, describe, and make sense of the world around us. Students will extend their basic knowledge of geometric concepts from prior courses to develop an understanding of geometric ideas, properties and theorems, and will develop their ability to reason, solve problems, and justify solutions. Spatial reasoning and the appropriate use of technology will be emphasized. |
Senior Math | This course is designed to prepare students to be effective real-world problem-solvers. Students will be encouraged to think and work together to nd solutions that can be applied to new situations. The course will cover area/volume, angles and trigonometry, and additional mathematical concepts. There will be an emphasis on test-taking strategies to prepare students for standardized tests such as the Accuplacer, SAT, and ASVAB. Students enrolled in this course will be prepared to go on to a technical school or a two/ four-year college. |
