Pre- AlgebraPre-Requisotes: Recommended by 8th Grade Math TeacherCredits: 1Fee: None |
This course is designed to act as a transition between 8th grade math and Algebra 1. It contains a review of general math principals and gradually introduces students to the algebraic concepts of variable, phrases, and equations. |
Alegebra 1Pre-Requisotes: NoneCredits: 1Fee: None |
This course is designed as the first high school math course for students in the general and college prep curriculum. The class will focus on the study of mathematical symbols, numbers, operations, and the relationships that exist between these items. The four basic operations of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing will be applied to all numbers and symbols in a logical and consistent manner. The ability to think,concentrate, and organize material is very important. This is the basic course for work in higher levels of mathematics. |
GeometryPre-Requisotes: Algebra 1Credits: 1Fee: None |
This course is designed and recommended for the student who has completed Algebra 1. Topics of geometry will be covered more theoretically with a higher level of difficulty. Topics covered include: angles, polygons, transformations, triangles, parallel lines, similar and congruent figures, coordinate geometry, surface area and volume, and the deductive proofs related to geometric figures. |
Algebra 2Pre-Requisotes: "C" or higher in Algebra 1 and GeometryCredits: 1Fee: None |
This is a continuation of Algebra 1, involving a more in-depth study of the relationships between numbers and symbols. A thorough analysis of rational expressions, radicals, and complex numbers will be presented Coordinate geometry, conic section, and linear-quadratic systems will be explored. |
Trigonometry/Pre-calculusPre-Requisotes: "C" or higher in Algebra 2 and Geometry, and Teacher RecommendationCredits: 1Fee: None |
A study of triangles and their properties, analysis of practical trigonometry, and the theory of trigonometry to gain insight into structure of trigonometry discipline is covered. Analytic geometry is a joining of the two fields of geometry and algebra. The study of the figures of geometry [circles, straight lines, etc.] is applied with algebra to graph these figures on rectangular coordinate systems. |
AlgeoPre-Requisotes: Junior status, Algebra and Geometry [exceptions may be made by principal]Credits: 1Fee: None |
This course is designed to explore concepts from algebra and geometry with a heavy emphasis on problem-solving and higher order thinking skills. Is is required for students who have not passed the math section of the OGT. |
Transition to College MathPre-Requisotes: Senior status only, "C" or better in Algebra 2Credits: 1Fee: None |
This course is geared to the mathematical needs of the non-science or non-math major student who needs to have a good background for general college level mathematics. All topics are covered that prepare the non- science major for college with enough depth to help the student for college math success. Course level is not quite as rigorous or demanding as for potential math and science careers. In the second semester, there will be an introduction to statistics, functions, and matrices. Use of the graphing calculator will be emphasized. |
A. P. CalculusPre-Requisotes: "A" or "B" in Trig./Pre-CalculusCredits: 1Fee: $85.00 for textbook [if purchased] |
This class is intended for serious math students who have a mastery of algebra,, geometry,, and trigonometry. A very small portion of time will be spent on elementary functions. The majority of the course focused on differential and integral calculus. THE PURPOSE OF THIS COURSE IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO PASS THE A. P. CALCULUS TEST. THEREFORE, ALL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THIS COURSE ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE A. P. TEST. THE TESTING FEE WILL BE REFUNDED TO STUDENTS WHEN THEY PASS THE A. P. TEST. ANY DEVIATION IN PLACEMENT FROM THE SPECIFIED PRE-REQUISITES WILL REQUIRE WRITTEN PARENTAL AKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE DEPARTMENT STRONGLY ADVISES AGAINST SUCH PLACEMENT AND THAT LACK OF SUCCESS OR EVEN STUDENT FAILURE IN THE COURSE IS A STRONG POSSIBILTY. |
