Math
Algebra I
1 Unit
This is a basic introduction to algebra including simplifying expressions, solving and graphing linear equations and systems, as well as linear inequalities. Students will also be introduced to linear and quadratic functions, exponents and radicals, and factoring and solving quadratic equations.
Algebra II
1 Unit
Algebra II builds upon the algebraic foundation acquired in Algebra I. During the first quarter students will review and expand their knowledge of linear and quadratic equations. The course continues with a thorough study of polynomial, rational, and radical equations. During the last quarter, students will review right triangle trigonometry and be introduced to the basic concepts of probability, statistics and conic sections.
Geometry
1 Unit
Geometry is a college-preparatory class introducing the student to spatial objects and relationships within a logical structure. Visual, numerical, and verbal aspects of expressing geometric thought are all emphasized in this course. Much of the basis of this study is connecting definitions, postulates, and theorems with a logical progression.
Precalculus
1 Unit
During the first semester Precalculus with Limits: A Graphing Approach provides a thorough development of functions including polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic. In addition, students will explore sequences, series, and limits. In the third quarter, we will study trigonometry. The fourth quarter may include matrix algebra, probability, and statistics, vectors, or conic sections depending on student interest. Students will use numerical, graphical, and analytical methods and apply their skills to real-world problems. The textbook has a companion website CalcChat.com for extra help. This course is designed to prepare students to take the AP® Calculus AB Course or college calculus.
AP Calculus
1 Unit
Calculus of a Single Variable thoroughly develops the two main concepts of calculus, the derivative and the integral. Students will explore these concepts through numerical, graphical, and analytical methods. They will regularly apply their skills to real-world situations. Students will have access to the companion website CalcChat.com for extra help. This course is designed to prepare students to take the AP® Calculus AB Exam. Most colleges and universities offer course credit for adequate performance on this exam.
