Mathematics Courses
Course: Algebra I (ALG 1) 2001
Credit: 1
Pre-requisite: None
Grade Level: 9-12
Course Description: Algebra I is the first course in the algebra / geometry sequence. In this course, the student learns the real number system and operations with the real numbers. Other topics include solving open linear sentences, equation and slope of a line, distance formula, radicals, polynomials, factoring and applications. Emphasis is placed on solving word problems.

 

Course: Algebra II (ALG 2) 2005
Credit: 1
Pre-requisite: Algebra I
Grade Level: 10-12
Course Description: Algebra II extends the concepts of Algebra I. It is intended to prepare the college-bound student for more sophisticated mathematics classes as well as physics and other areas requiring problem-solving techniques. Topics included in the course are elementary operations, linear equations, functions, polynomials, rational expressions, radicals, logarithms, quadratic functions, the binomial theorem and systems of equations.

Course: Geometry (GEOM) 2010
Credit: 1
Pre-requisite: Algebra I and II
Grade Level: 10-12
Course Description: This course is designed for the average to above average student. The introduction to formal proof begins in the first chapter and is followed by the study of inductive and deductive reasoning. Concepts of space geometry are integrated with plane geometry throughout the course. Algebraic skills are reviewed and strengthened through application to problem solving in geometry. The course also includes trigonometry, construction and logic, coordinate geometry and transformations.

Course: Honors Geometry (GEOM) 2011
Credit: 1
Pre-requisite: Algebra I and II
Grade Level: 10-12
Course Description: The honors geometry course is designed to challenge the above average student by involving them with the more difficult geometric problems as well as with regular class work. Students are asked to analyze problems and find the solution by dealing with abstract concepts and geometric properties.

Course: Honors Pre-calculus (PRE CALC) 2020
Credit: 1
Pre-requisite: Algebra I and II and Geometry
