Secondary Course Descriptions

Mathematics 6 (0680)

The 6^th grade mathematics standards-based curriculum focuses on basic concepts in: Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis, Probability, Number Sense and Problem Solving. Students are expected to compute accurately and use appropriate math vocabulary as they explain concepts learned in a variety of applications.

Mathematics 7 (0370)

This course will implement the standards-based curriculum with understanding of number and number relations, algebra, functions, probability, geometry, measurement, data analysis and graphing in the coordinate plane. Problem solving techniques and short answer/extended response writing will be emphasized.

Pre-Algebra (0420)

Pre-Algebra will prepare students for Algebra I. A heavy emphasis will be placed on the Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard. Students will also explore concepts in data analysis, geometry, number relations, and measurement standards.

Algebra I (4220)

Algebra I focuses on the development of fundamental algebraic skills and reasoning. Students will use patterns, relations and functions to model, represent and analyze problem situations that involve variable quantities.

Prerequisite: none

Geometry (4350)

Geometry develops the concepts of Euclidean geometry for understanding relationships in a plane or in space, and determining logical geometric proofs through inductive and deductive reasoning

Prerequisite: Algebra I

Honors Geometry (4360)

Honors Geometry provides all the elements of the Geometry (4350) course with an additional presentation of Trigonometry.

Prerequisite: Algebra I

Algebra II/Trig (4390)

Algebra II/Trig is a higher level algebra course that continues the development of algebraic skills and reasoning with advanced topics in trigonometric functions and coordinate geometry.

Prerequisite: Geometry

Pre-Calculus (4560)

Pre-Calculus is designed to prepare the mathematics and science student for the study of calculus or the first year of college mathematics. Students study advanced topics in algebraic, logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions and will explore series, sequences and limits.

Prerequisite: Algebra II/Trig

Introductory Analysis (4440)

Introductory Analysis is designed to prepare the student for the first year of college mathematics. Students study advanced topics in algebraic, logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions and will explore series, sequences and limits.

Prerequisite: Algebra II/Trig

Applied Statistics (4100)

In Applied Statistics, students will learn more advanced methods of collecting and analyzing data, and will draw conclusions from that data so they can begin to make informed decisions and answer questions about situations in everyday life and in the workplace. They will learn to evaluate the quality of surveys, observational studies and experiments. Students will use correlation with visual displays to analyze associations in data. They also will determine the probability of a sample statistic for a known population and draw simple inferences. They will practice 21^st century skills including, but not limited to, critical thinking, problem solving, use of appropriate technology, information and media literacy, and communication.

Prerequisite: Senior Status & Algebra II/Trig

Financial Decision Making in Mathematics (4320)

In Financial Decision Making in Mathematics, students will learn to apply the principles of finance to the monetary decisions of an individual or family unit. This course addresses the ways in which individuals or families obtain, budget, save, and spend monetary resources over time, taking into account various financial risks and future life events. Components of personal finance may include checking and savings accounts, credit cards and consumer loans, investments, social security benefits, insurance policies, and income tax management. They will practice 21^st century skills including, but not limited to, critical thinking, problem solving, use of appropriate technology, information and media literacy, and communication.

Prerequisite: Senior Status
