Mathematics
- Algebra I College Prep
- The goal of this course is to further expose students to abstract thinking through an algebraic structure and to guide students in using the quantitative and manipulative skills necessary in a college preparatory class. Emphasis is given to radicals, exponents, polynomials, factoring, simplifying algebraic expressions, solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities. Elementary probability and statistics will be introduced. Students apply learned skills via real-world applications and approach problem solving both logically and creatively.
- Algebra I/ Algebra II/Trigonometry
- The goal of this combined class is to further expose students to abstract thinking through an algebraic structure and to guide students in using the quantitative and manipulative skills necessary in a college preparatory class. Emphasis is given to radicals, exponents, polynomials, probability, statistics, factoring, simplifying algebraic expressions, solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities. The depth, scope, and pace of this course exceed that of Algebra (CP). Students expand the knowledge obtained to do increasingly more complex problems and applications. In addition, Algebra 2 students learn the properties and applications of complex fractions, and the six trigonometric functions. The following functions will also be explored: rational, quadratic, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic. Students apply learned skills via real-world applications and approach problem solving both logically and creatively.
- Geometry College Prep
- This course is designed to develop logical thinking through the analysis of geometrical situations. Students discover the relationships between figures such as angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons. Right triangle trigonometry is also introduced. Inductive and deductive reasoning is stressed and explored through direct proof. An emphasis on integrating geometric concepts with algebraic skills is reinforced throughout the year. Students apply learned skills via real-world applications and approach problem solving both logically and creatively.
- Geometry Honors
- This course relates elements of plane, solid, and coordinate geometry. Students discover the relationships between figures such as angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons. Right triangle trigonometry and properties of three-dimensional solids are investigated. Inductive and deductive reasoning is stressed and explored through direct proof. An emphasis on integrating geometric concepts with algebraic skills will be reinforced throughout the year. The depth, scope, and pace greatly exceed that of Geometry (CP). Students apply learned skills via real-world applications and approach problem solving both logically and creatively.
