Calculus:
Grade: 11, 12
Credit: 1
Course Length: 2
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus or
Trigonometry and Analytics; math teacher recommendation
An introduction to calculus for the college-bound student, this course will include an in-depth study of limits and differentiation and a brief introduction to techniques and integration.
Calculus AP:
Grade: 11, 12
Credit: 1½
Course Length: 3
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus; math teacher recommendation
This course includes concepts of differential and integral calculus. It includes an introduction to the concepts of a limit, differentiation, related rates, extrema, monotonic, and concavity of a function, subsequently leading to integration concepts which include: areas under and between curves, volumes of solids or revolution, integration by parts, and integration involving natural logarithms. This course covers all material prescribed by the College Board Advanced
Placement program. Students enrolled in this course must write the AP examination.
Geometry:
Grade: 10, 11, 12
Credit: 1
Course Length: 2
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Designed to introduce the fundamentals of geometry, this course will help students develop basic geometric skills and learn to apply geometric principles. Geometric vocabulary, theorems, and formulas are presents. Topics will include points, lines, planes, area, volume, symmetry, transformations, angle relationships, slope, right triangle trigonometry and similarity of polygons.
Geometry Advanced:
Grade: 9, 10
Credit: 1
Course Length: 2
Prerequisite: Algebra I; math teacher recommendation
Topics will be the same as Geometry but more rigorous in pace and depth and will include proofs. This course leads toward Calculus AP.
Math Applications SR:
Grade: 12
Credit: ½
Course Length: 1
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Note: This course must be requested with Probability and Statistics SR
This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Algebra II and who are not planning to attend a traditional four year college. Students will be exposed to geometric concepts, trigonometric functions, and exponential functions through real world applications.
Pre-Calculus:
Grade: 11, 12
Credit: 1
Course Length: 2
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra II; math teacher recommendation
This course is intended for students who plan to take a calculus course in high school or college. Topics include but are not limited to: functions and their inverse; graphs and applications of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and absolute value functions; analytic geometry and complex numbers. This course leads to Calculus AP.
Preparatory Algebra:
Grade: 9, 10
Credit: ½
Course Length: 1
Note: This course must be requested with Algebra I
The preparatory algebra course is a transition course that extends concepts of middle level mathematics and enters the domain of high school algebra. New concepts that are introduced include equations, scientific notation, proportional reasoning, introduction to functions, inequalities, multi-step linear equations, polynomial, factoring, and probability. Students continue to connect mathematical concepts, skills, and relationships of number and computation, probability and statistics, with algebraic thinking. They model and solve problems using algebraic, numerical and graphical representations.
Probability and Statistics SR:
Grade: 12
Credit: ½
Course Length: 1
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Note: This class must be requested with Math Applications SR
This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Algebra II and who are not planning to attend a transitional four year college. Topics will include, but are not limited to probability and statistics.
Statistics AP:
Grade: 11, 12
Credit: 1½
Course Length: 3
Algebra II or Advanced Algebra II; math teacher recommendation
The purpose of the Advanced Placement course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, planning a study, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. AP Statistics is an excellent course for any student who has completed Algebra II regardless of the student’s intended college major.
Trigonometry and Analytics:
Grade: 11, 12
Credit: 1
Course Length: 2
Prerequisite: Algebra II or Advanced Algebra II; math teacher recommendation
This course is designed for those students excelling in the general track of Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Topics include but are not limited to: functions and their inverse; graphs and applications of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and absolute value functions; analytic geometry and complex numbers. This course is for the college-bound student.
