COURSE TITLE: Algebra I – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Pre-Algebra (8th grade) or Math 8
In Algebra I, students develop the skills necessary to solve linear and quadratic equations. Students use Algebra as a tool for solving a variety of practical problems. Tables, graphs, calculators and computer simulations are used to interpret algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities, and to analyze functions. Matrices are used to organize and manipulate data.

Algebra II students extend the concepts of Algebra I. A thorough study of advanced algebraic concepts is provided through the exploration of functions, polynomials, rational expressions, sequences and series, complex numbers, and matrices. Students will create graphs using translation, reflection, dilation and rotation.

COURSE TITLE: Algebra II & Trigonometry– A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra I and Geometry
Algebra II & Trig. students extend the concepts of Algebra I. This is a faster paced course which does a thorough study of advanced algebraic concepts and starts the study of trigonometry. It provides a through the exploration of functions, polynomials, rational expressions, sequences and series, complex numbers, matrices and the introduction to trigonometry. Students will create graphs using translation, reflection, dilation and rotation.

COURSE TITLE: Geometry – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra I or Algebra I, Parts 1 & 2
Geometry is the study of the inter-relationships and the properties of points, lines, planes and space figures. Emphasis is placed on systematic and logical reasoning. This course includes the deductive axiomatic method of proof to justify theorems and to determine whether conclusions are valid. The method of justification includes proofs, flow charts and verbal arguments. Inductive and intuitive approaches are used. Calculators, computers and graphing utilities will be used where feasible.

COURSE TITLE: General Math 9 – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: None
Students study the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations are emphasized using whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percents. Practical applications of general mathematics are used throughout the course. Calculators, computers and manipulatives are also used throughout the course.

COURSE TITLE: Consumer Math – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: One year of High School Math
Consumer Mathematics is a calculator-based course, which applies computational skills in solving everyday problems that a student will encounter as a consumer. Areas of the consumer world considered are job search, income, transportation, food, clothing, housing, budgeting, taxation, consumer credit, banking, insurance and investments. Skills in gathering and interpreting data are also emphasized.

COURSE TITLE: Computer Math – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Geometry
This course is an elective beyond the Geometry level and is designed to introduce the student to the use of interpreted and compiled programming languages. In Computer Mathematics students are introduced to the JAVA programming language.

COURSE TITLE: Advanced Placement Computer Science – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Computer Math
This course follows the course outline for Advanced Placement Computer Science, is an elective beyond the Geometry level and is designed to introduce the student to the use of interpreted and compiled programming languages. In AP Computer Science, students learn the C++ programming language.

COURSE TITLE: Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra II
This course is an elective beyond the Algebra II level which prepares the student for college mathematics. Students review the second semester topics from Algebra II and receive a semester of Trigonometry. Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry is intended for the student who has completed the academic mathematics program through Algebra II, who wishes to obtain additional higher math experience, but who does not want to take the more rigorous Pre-Calculus with Trigonometry course leading to Calculus. This course is not intended to prepare a student fully for Calculus; however, it does provide an adequate background in college mathematics for the non-engineering, non-mathematics major. The first semester reviews, reinforces and extends the skills and concepts of Algebra II. The second semester is the study of Trigonometry.

COURSE TITLE: Pre-Calculus – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra II
This course is an elective beyond the Algebra II level which prepares the student for college mathematics. Pre-Calculus students receive a bridge from Algebra to analysis by being introduced to the notion of a limit. Pre-Calculus is a course for very capable mathematics students who have successfully completed the academic program through Algebra II. The objective is to provide a thorough preparation for college mathematics, especially Calculus, by including a study of Trigonometry, as well as other advanced mathematics topics.

COURSE TITLE: Statistics and Probability – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra II
Statistics and Probability is a one-semester elective course which is designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of collecting, describing, displaying and interpreting data, as well as making decisions and predictions on the basis of that information. This course is an elective beyond the Algebra II level which prepares the student for college mathematics. In Statistics and Probability, students learn sampling, distributions and statistical testing.

COURSE TITLE: Discrete Mathematics – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra II
This course is an elective beyond the Algebra II level which prepares the student for college mathematics. Discrete Mathematics students are introduced to logic and the finite processes used to solve applied problems.

COURSE TITLE: AP Calculus AB – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Pre-Calculus
This course is an elective beyond the Algebra II level which prepares the student for college mathematics. In AP Calculus pupils learn the concepts of differential and integral Calculus.

COURSE TITLE: AP Calculus BC – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Math Analysis or AP Calculus AB
This course follows the course description of The College Board’s AP Calculus BC program. BC Calculus applies the concepts of differential and integral Calculus.

COURSE TITLE: Advanced Placement Statistics – A General Course Outline
PREREQUISITE: Algebra II
This course follows the course description of The College Board’s AP Statistics program. AP Statistics is a year long elective course which is designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of collecting, describing, displaying and interpreting data, as well as making decisions and predictions on the basis of that information. This course is an elective beyond the Algebra II level which prepares the student for college mathematics. In AP Statistics students explore data by observing patterns and departures from patterns, plan a study by deciding what and how to measure data, anticipate patterns by producing models using probability theory and simulations and study statistical inference by confirming models.
