Algebra I – Standard, Honors
This course is designed to introduce the concepts related to variables, functions, and relationships between quantities. The course will focus on the study of symbolic, numerical, and graphical representations of relationships between two changing quantities that arise from situations. Students can expect to be working in groups and discussing ideas as a basis for developing understanding and mathematical techniques.
Geometry – Standard, Honors
Students will move from an inductive approach to deductive methods of proof in their study of two- and three-dimensional geometric figures. Reasoning skills will be emphasized and students will broaden their use of the coordinate plane. Appropriate technology, including manipulatives, calculators and graphics software, will be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Prerequisite: Algebra I
Algebra II – Standard, Honors
Algebra II is designed to further explore the advanced algebraic concepts related to functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities, and matrices. The course will focus on describing and translating among symbolic, numerical, tabular, verbal and graphical representations of relations and using those representations to solve problems. Students can expect to be working in groups and discussing ideas as a basis for developing understanding and mathematical techniques. Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry
Advanced Functions and Modeling
Advanced Functions and Modeling provides students an in-depth study of modeling and applying functions. Home, work, recreation, consumer issues, public policy, and scientific investigations are just a few of the areas from which applications should originate. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Prerequisite: Algebra II
Pre-Calculus - Honors
Pre-Calculus provides students an honors-level study of trigonometry, advanced functions, analytic geometry, and data analysis in preparation for calculus. Applications and modeling should be included throughout the course of study. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, should be used regularly for instruction and assessment. Prerequisite: Algebra II Honors or Advanced Functions and Modeling
Calculus – AP
This course develops a student’s understanding of the concepts of calculus (functions, graphs, limits, derivatives and integrals) and provides experience with its methods and applications. This course encourages the geometric, numerical, analytical, and verbal expression of concepts, results, and problems. Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus
