Course Description
|
| MATH 101 | 9 | Pre-Algebra A | This course teaches students the rules with which to manipulate and solve for unknown variables. The focus is on problem solving, integers, algebraic expression, decimals, equations, and inequalities. |
| MATH 102 | 9 | Pre-Algebra B | This course teaches students the rules with which to manipulate and solve for unknown variables. The focus is on operations with fractions, factors, exponents, solving multi-step equations and inequalities, linear functions, and graphing. |
| MATH 103 | 9-11 | Basic Algebra A | This is an introductory Algebra course. Students will study algebraic properties and their use with rational numbers and variables. This will include work with expressions, linear equations, number lines and graphs. The course will be taught at a measured pace, to help students develop foundational skills. |
| MATH 104 | 9-11 | Basic Algebra B | This is an introductory Algebra course. Students will study polynomials, graphing, and the distributive property. This will include work with exponents, factoring, and systems of equations. The course will be taught at a measured pace, to help students develop foundational skills. |
| MATH 105 | 9 | Algebra I A | The first half of the Algebra I course addresses the properties of real numbers. Students will be able to solve linear equations and work with graphs of linear equations and functions. The semester is completed by using the knowledge of solving and graphing linear equations to write linear equations. Students will be introduced to graphing calculators to support their understanding. |
| MATH 106 | 9 | Algebra I B | The second half of Algebra I begins with writing and solving inequalities. Systems of linear equations are then addressed with real life problem solving examples. Students are then exposed to exponents and exponential functions. Polynomials and factoring complete the second semester of Algebra I. Rational expressions, including quadratic equations, will be investigated as time allows. Students will be introduced to graphing calculators to support their understanding. |
| MATH 201 | 9-11 | Basic Geometry A | This course is an informal study of the concepts of Geometry focusing on logical thinking and problem solving without an emphasis on proofs. Topics covered will include basic geometric vocabulary, lines, segments, angles, polygons, and circles. There is an emphasis on triangles and other topics as time permits. |
| MATH 202 | 9-11 | Basic Geometry B | This course is a continuation of Basic Geometry A. It further examines the vocabulary and concepts of Geometry through logical thinking and problem solving. Topics covered include area of polygons and circles, volume, surface area, parallel lines, congruent triangles and other topics as time permits. |
| MATH 203 | 9-10 | Geometry A | This class will examine all aspects of Geometry in a formal manner with an emphasis on proofs, logical thinking and problem solving. Students will learn about lines, segments, angles, triangles, congruence, parallel and perpendicular lines, and other topics as time permits. Students will also make practical connections to Algebra and real world situations. |
| MATH 204 | 9-10 | Geometry B | This is a continuation of Geometry A and will continue the formal exploration of Geometry through problem solving, logical thinking, algebraic solving and proofs. Students will learn about polygons, right triangle trigonometry, similarity, circles, three-dimensional shapes, area, volume and more as time permits. |
| MATH 301 | 9-11 | Algebra II A | This course continues and expands the topics studied in Algebra I. Topics included in the first semester are a refresher of the real number system and inequalities. Linear equations and functions are then addressed to a further depth than in Algebra I. Systems of equations inequalities complete the investigation of equations. Matrices and determinants are used for basic operations and solving systems of equations. Quadratic functions complete the first semester. Graphing calculators will be used to help teach solutions for extended equations. |
| MATH 302 | 9-11 | Algebra II B | The second semester of Algebra II begins with an in depth analysis of polynomials and polynomial functions. Powers, roots, and radicals are then addressed for evaluation and simplification. The next topic discussed is rational equations and functions. The semester ends with discussion quadratic relations and conic sections. Other topics will be addressed as time allows. Graphing calculators will be used to help teach solutions for extended equations. |
| MATH 401 | 11-12 | Pre-Calculus A | The first semester of this advanced mathematics course contains information about the properties of the real and complex number systems, arithmetic and geometric sequences, and behaviors and transformations of graphs. Graphing calculators will be a primary tool in this course. |
| MATH 402 | 11-12 | Pre-Calculus B | The second semester of this advanced mathematics course addresses trigonometric functions. Students will derive and apply trigonometric identities. Students will study complex numbers in polar form. Students will be able to perform operations on vectors in two dimensions. Graphing calculators will be a primary tool in this course. |
| MATH 403 | 12 | Calculus A | Calculus provides methods for the advanced analysis of functions. It stands at the foundation of nearly every branch of science and engineering. Topics in the first semester of calculus include limits, differentiation, higher-order derivatives, the complete analysis of a function, and optimization. Besides learning to perform the operations of calculus, students also study the proofs and mathematical reasoning on which calculus is constructed. Numerical, graphical, and analytical methods are studied and compared. Calculus A is an honors course. |
| MATH 404 | 12 | Calculus B | The second semester of calculus introduces integration. Students study Riemann sums, definite and indefinite integrals, differential equations, L'Hopital's rule, and the calculus of logarithmic functions, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions. Other topics may be covered as time permits. Students interested in earning college credit by examination in calculus should discuss this option with the instructor. Calculus B is an honors course. |
| MATH 405 | 11-12 | Consumer Math IS A | This is a course in applied mathematics primarily for consumer use. Among the topics covered are personal cash and back records, sales slips and taxes, wage income and deductions and budgeting/ This course is an independent study course. |
| MATH 406 | 11-12 | Consumer Math IS B |
This is a course in applied mathematics for consumer use. This course builds upon the topics covered in Consumer Math IS A. Among the topics covered in this course are commissions, loans and installment savings, home expenditures, automobile ownership costs, and property and income taxes. This course is an independent study course.
