Algebra I
Algebra I is designed to develop the student's proficiency with mathematical skills using the real number system, to enlarge his mathematical vocabulary, to acquire the facility to apply algebraic concepts and skills and to use them in deductive reasoning and problem solving . Prerequisite: 8th grade mathematics or Pre-Algebra.
Geometry (9th, 10th)
Geometry is designed to provide each student with knowledge of the basic principles, postulates, and theorems of Euclidean geometry. Each student will learn to write a proof, read figures, draw three-dimensional shapes and apply algebraic concepts to geometric problems. Students will also apply the concepts learned to real life applications and problems. Prerequisite: Algebra I.
Algebra II
Algebra II covers the structure of the real number system and the complex number system. The concepts of functions are further developed including linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions. Stress is placed on developing deductive reasoning abilities and precision of language in communications. Students will be given a foundation for future studies in mathematical, scientific, business, and technical fields. Prerequisite: Algebra I.
Pre-Calculus
The pre-calculus course is a study of functions, which includes periodic, composite, and inverse functions, as well as polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions. Trigonometry is an integral part of the course. Sequences and series, matrices, and probability are studied in the fourth quarter. Prerequisite: Algebra II and Geometry, or concurrent enrollment in Geometry.
Calculus
This calculus course covers such topics as a pre-calculus review, limits and continuity, derivatives, and integration. It is a transitional class between high school mathematics and the courses students will encounter in college. Students enrolled in this class are not eligible to take the Advanced Placement exam in May. Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus.
