Algebra I
Grades 9, 10, 11, 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Proficiency in basic arithmetic skills
The study of algebraic concepts including: operations with real numbers and polynomials, relations and functions and their graphs, and applied problem solving. (Algebra I, when taken in Eighth grade, does NOT count as one of the four required high school math credits.)

Honors Algebra II
Grades 10, 11, 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Pass Honors Geometry with an A or B or Teacher Approval
Algebra II continues the study of advanced algebraic concepts with topics to include: relations and functions, rational expressions, complex numbers, systems of equations and inequalities, polynomial functions and their graphs, transcendental functions and their graphs, and applied problem solving. A graphing calculator from the following list is required for this course: the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus. At the Honors level, additional topics may be covered and/or topics may be covered in greater depth. Additional projects, assignments, and research may be required of Honors students.

Honors Pre-Calculus
Grades 11, 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Pass Honors Algebra II with a 90+ average, pass Algebra II with a 95+ average, or Pass Adv. Functions and teacher approval
A pre-cursor to the study of Calculus, the Pre-Calculus course contains advanced topics with emphasis on trigonometry and graph analysis over a variety of function types (constant, linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and piece-wise defined). Applications are drawn from a variety of fields. At the Honors level, additional topics may be covered and/or topics may be covered in greater depth. Additional projects, assignments, and research may be required of Honors students. A graphing calculator from the following list is required for this course: the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus.

A.P. Calculus (AB)
Grade 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Pass Pre-Calculus with an A or B and teacher approval
This course combines verbal, numerical, graphical, and analytical approaches to the development of the Calculus concepts of the limit, the derivative, and the integral. The application of these concepts will also be emphasized. Those students taking AP Calculus are expected to take the AP exam. A graphing calculator from the following list is required for this course: the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus. |
A.P. Statistics
Grade 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus or Teacher Approval
This course is designed to be equivalent to a one semester, introductory, non-calculus based, college course in statistics. The purpose of this course 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, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. Those students taking AP Statistics are expected to take the AP exam. A graphing calculator from the following list is required for this course: the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus.

Geometry
Grades 9, 10, 11, 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
The study of geometric concepts including: inductive and deductive proof, constructions, two and three dimensional figure analysis with emphasis on reasoning skills and applied problem solving throughout.

Advanced Functions
Grades 11, 12, Full Year
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Advanced Functions topics to include: linear, polynomial, exponential, trigonometric, power, and logarithmic functions, statistical analysis of data, probability, sequences and series, matrices, and applied problem solving. Applications include amortization, compound interest, and land surveying. A graphing calculator from the following list is required for this course: the TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus.
