Algebra I S,
Geometry S |
Grades 9-11 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: ARD Placement |
| Resource Math provides for
individual assessment and remedial work in the basic Resource
mathematical operations with curriculum modifications related to the
student’s individual learning pattern. Included are reviews of
basic operations on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and metric and
English systems of measurement. |

Algebra I |
Grades 9-11 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Screening |
| The purpose of this course is to
provide the skills and the concepts of Algebra I at a slower pace. |
|
| 0221
Geometry |
Grades 10-12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Algebra I |
| Geometry provides a sound geometry
course with an emphasis on applications rather than proof. The
students will be given opportunities to develop concepts and skills
involving measurement, shapes, perpendicularity and parallelism,
congruence and similarity, area and perimeter, and volume and surface
area. They will also make constructions and use the trigonometric
ratios as related to the right angle. |

Algebra I Academic |
Grades 9-12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Math Teacher
approval |
| Algebra I is a course intended for students of average to high ability in mathematics who wish to continue their studies in more advanced mathematics courses. Topics covered include the real number system, polynomials, solving inequalities, solving systems of equations, quadratic equation functions and their graphs. There will be a state end-of-course test. | |

Geometry Academic |
Grades 9-12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Academic |
| This course stresses the basic
structure of geometry, the application of geometric concepts, and
proficiency in developing formal proofs. Emphasis is placed on
inductive and deductive reasoning. Concepts of space geometry are
integrated with plane geometry throughout the
course. Algebraic skills are reviewed and strengthened as
algebraic methods are applied to problem solving topics such as
relationship of angles, perpendicular and parallel lines, congruent
triangles, similarity, circles, and coordinate geometry. |

Algebra II |
Grades 10-12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Alg I/Geometry |
| Algebra II begins with the skills
that involve solving equations, inequalities, and systems of
equations. The
most important mathematical idea of functions, quadratic functions,
polynomial functions, and rational algebraic functions are
covered. Other topics include complex numbers, quadratic
relations, sequences and series, and data exploration. Algebra II
is a required class for higher level math courses you may need for post
secondary education. |

Algebra II Academic |
Grades 10-12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Alg I Acad/Geom
Acad with grade of 80 or better |
| Algebra II Academic continues the
systematic development of topics covered in Algebra I Academic as well
as additional topics including the complex number system, theory of
equations, logarithms, matrices, and determinants. Problem
solving techniques and higher order thinking skills will be
stressed. Topics are covered at a faster pace and in greater
depth than regular Algebra II. This course is recommended for
those students who plan to attend college and have a strong math
background. It is also recommended for students wishing to take
Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus. |

Pre-Calculus (H) |
Grades 11-12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisites: Alg I/Geom AcadAlgebra II and Screening |
| Pre-Calculus is an upper-level math
course that is highly recommended for those students planning to attend
college and
major in any branch of science, engineering, medicine, business, and
many
other areas. Pre-Calculus continues the development of many of
the
topics covered in Algebra II as well as covering trigonometry, polar
coordinates,
and vectors in two-space and three-space. Extensive use is made
of
the graphing calculator. This course should be taken with teacher
recommendation
only. |

AP Calculus |
Grade 12 |
| 1 Credit |
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus H |
| Calculus AP is an introductory
college course that covers elementary functions, differential calculus,
and integral calculus. Course objectives are: (1) to have an
understanding of limits, derivatives, and integrals with a point of
view relative to the historical background out of which these concepts
grew, and a point of view taking advantage of computer and graphing
calculator manipulative skills of differentiation and integration;(2)
to develop proficiency in the manipulative skills of differentiation
and integration; and, (3) to develop abilities in making practical real
work
application of the principles learned. Students have the
opportunity
to receive the college credit by scoring at least a 3 on the AP Exam in
May. |
