Classes:
PRE-ALGEBRA
This course is designed as preparation for Algebra 1. This course
acquaints the student with the basic mathematical concepts necessary for
practical usage. Students will study integers and expressions, equations,
rational numbers, graphing and additional preparatory topics.
(Prerequisite: None)
ALGEBRA 1
This is the study of real number properties, solving equations and inequalities
(linear and quadratic), graphing, and simplifying polynomials and rational
expressions. (Prerequisite: Satisfactory score on entrance exam test or
Pre-Algebra)
ALGEBRA 2
A more extensive look at the topics covered in Algebra 1, along with a study of
new areas such as sequencing and series, complex numbers, exponents and
logarithms, linear programming, and trigonometric and circular functions.
Problem solving will be emphasized. (Prerequisite: Algebra 1, Geometry)
BASIC GEOMETRY
The content of this course includes the study of properties of two and
three-dimensional figures of Euclidean geometry, with properties being applied
to practical situations. (Prerequisite: Algebra 1 and Pre-Algebra)
GEOMETRY
Geometry includes the study of the properties of two and three-dimensional
figures of Euclidean geometry, with emphasis on proofs using deductive
reasoning. A brief introduction to trigonometry will be given.
(Prerequisite: Algebra 1)
HONORS ALGEBRA 1
A study of the real number system (including both rational and irrational
numbers) with emphasis on applications such as the solution of equations and
problem situations. Because of the advanced nature of this course, the
problems studied will be more difficult and the material will be more
challenging, to facilitate the investigation of optional topics not covered in
the standard Algebra 1 course. (Prerequisite: Satisfactory score on
entrance exam/teacher recommendation)
HONORS ALGEBRA 2
This course builds on the concepts taught in Honors Algebra 1. It covers
a study of equations and inequalities, functions, sequences and series, conic
sections, permutations and combinations, and various topics of advanced
mathematics. (Prerequisite: Honors Algebra 1 and consent of mathematics
faculty)
HONORS GEOMETRY
Honors Geometry includes the same topics as geometry studied in greater
depth. In addition, there will be an introduction to the study of
trigonometry and coordinate geometry. This course requires a strong
background in Algebra and above-average ability in mathematics.
(Prerequisite: Honors Algebra 1 or consent of mathematics faculty)
HONORS PRE-CALCULUS
This course is an extension of Honors Algebra 2 and parallels the mathematics
analysis course content with a more in-depth study of trigonometry functions
including their inverses, vectors, conics, including higher degree curves and
polar coordinates. Introduction to differential and integral calculus is
included. (Prerequisite: Honors Algebra 2)
PRE-CALCULUS
This course is an extension of Algebra 2. The course will cover the
algebraic, exponential and logarithmic and trigonometric functions and their
graphs. (Prerequisite: Algebra 2)
BUSINESS MATH
It is the study of the mathematics principles as they apply to consumer
economics and basic business theories. (Prerequisite: Consent of mathematics
faculty)
GENERAL MATH
This course will review the basic skills of addition, subtractions,
multiplication and division with whole numbers, fractions and decimals to have
a foundation in basic computational skills. The student will learn
New skills involving rates, ratios, proportions, percents, graphs, geometry,
equations and negative numbers. The students will be able to solve word
problems that they will use in the modern world.
HONORS STATISTICS
Statistics introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting,
analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Using real life examples and
cases, students will explore data, learn how to plan a study, produce
statistical models, and draw inferences. (Prerequisite: Algebra 2)
