Pre-Algebra Length: 2 Semesters Credits: 1 |
Pre-Algebra is a transition math course intended to bridge the gap from middle school math to Algebra. This course will enhance a student's basic math skills at the same time building new skills needed to be successful in secondary Algebra. Students will explore the rule on numeration and algebra. They will also-become acquainted with data exploration, math modeling, graphing, pattern recognition, number sequences and math technology. Students will begin to learn the language of math that will be necessary for success in Algebra. Students in Per-Algebra will begin to become abstract, symbolic thinkers and problem solvers through a blend on skills, analytical and conceptual learning methods. Pre-Algebra is not to intended to be complete secondary math curriculum. It is only intended to be an entry into secondary Algebra. The standards taught in this course are in line with middle school math standards, but studied with the depth and richness expected of a secondary student. For students to achieve the math required to be proficient, they must advance to Algebra 1 after the completion of Pre-Algebra. |

Algebra 1 Length: 2 Semesters Credits: 1 |
Algebra 1 examines the basic structure of real number. Algebraic expressions, and function. The topics studied are linear equation, inequalities, function and systems, quadratic equations and functions, polynomial expressions data analysis, probability, and properties of functions Mathematical modeling of real-life problems and problem solving are major themes of the course |
|
Geometry Length: 2 Semesters Credits: 1 |
Geometry is studied as a mathematical system through the deductive development of relationships in the plane space. Students formalize their understanding of geometric concepts including congruence and similarity, circle chords, secants, and tangents segments, parallel and perpendicular, angle and side measures in polygons, proof, logic, transformation, the Pythagorean Theorem, construction, coordinate geometry, and surface area and volume of solids. |

Algebra 2 Length: 2 Semesters Credits: 1 Prerequisites: Pre-Algebra: Geometry |
Algebra 2 is the study of the complex number system and functions. Real-world problems are discussed, represented, and solved using advanced algebraic techniques, incorporating technology. The properties and algebra of functions, including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, piece-wise, radical, and rationale analyzed and applied, as well as conics, matrices, systems of equation, sequences, and series. |

Pre Calculus
|
This course features the following five units: Relations, Functions, and Graphs (Linear Relations and Functions,Systems of Equations and Inequalities. The nature of Graphs and Polynomial and Rational Functions); Trigonometry (Trigonometric Functions, Graphs and Inverses of the Trigonometric Functions, Trigonometric Identities and Equations, Vectors and Parametric Equations); Advances Functions & Graphing (Polar Coordinates and Complex Numbers, Conics, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions); Discrete Mathematics (Sequences and series, Iteration and Fractals, Combinatorics and Probability, statistics and Data Analysis, Graph Theory); and Introduction to Calculus (limits, Derivatives, and Integrals); Calculus concepts and skill are integrated throughout the course. Use of Graphing Calculator Technology and Computer Technology exposes students to a variety of mathematics applications. |
