COURSE TITLE: Basic Mathematics
COURSE #: 704
Grade Level: 9
Length: Year Long
Credit: 5 will count toward math requirement
5 elective credit
Prerequisite: None
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Basic elementary mathematic concepts are reviewed and practiced including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, measurement, ratio, proportion, practical word problems, statistics, geometry, and probability.
COURSE TITLE: Transition Mathematics
COURSE #: 708
Grade Level: 9 - 10
Length: Year Long
Credit: 10
Prerequisite: None
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course provides a strong foundation for future courses in algebra and geometry. Algebraic concepts and reasoning are developed through equations and inequalities by a continuing arithmetic review of operations in the rational number system. Use of percents, decimals, fractions, and the use of variables are studies and reviewed through both algebraic and geometric applications.
COURSE TITLE: Algebra I
COURSE #: 701
Grade Level: 9 - 12
Length: Year Long
Credit: 10
Prerequisite: Strong background in 7th and 8th grade mathematics
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students entering Algebra I should possess a good sound foundation in basic arithmetic skills and operations. Algebra primarily works with the representation of numbers by symbols and studying the rules of operations with these symbols. Factoring, polynomials, and solving equations also play an important role to the Algebra student. Scientific calculators are highly recommended to aid in the many computations students will be doing.
COURSE TITLE: Geometry
COURSE #: 707
Grade Level: 9 - 12
Length: Year Long
Credit: 10
Prerequisite: Algebra I
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Geometry is that branch of mathematics which studies the properties of figures in a plane and in space. Required aides include compass, ruler, protractor, and calculator.
COURSE TITLE: Algebra II
COURSE #: 702
Grade Level: 10 - 12
Length: Year Long
Credit: 10
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Algebra II reviews and continues concepts studied in Algebra I. Polynomial equations, complex numbers, the quadratic formula, radicals, and several other new areas will be introduced and studied in the course. Graphing calculators are recommended.
COURSE TITLE: Advanced Mathematics
COURSE #: 700
Grade Level: 10 - 12
Length: Year Long
Credit: 10
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra II and Geometry
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
All important precalculus topics are presented to lay the groundwork for further study of mathematics at the college level. The main topics of discussion are centered around applications of functions, trigonometry, and statistics. Recommended graphing calculators are T1-83, T1-83, or T1-84.
