These are elective math classes. All students will need to select at least one of these electives in their 12th grade year to complete the math graduation requirements.

PRE-CALCULUS

20535123

Course Description: Pre-calculus is a college and technical school preparatory course which covers essentially the same topics covered in trigonometry and an advanced college algebra course.  Students will learn several topics in mathematics including but not limited to: circular functions, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic functions, function analysis and applications.

1 year, 1 credit; Grade 12

Prerequisite: Algebra II

FINANCIAL LITERACY

20974000

Course Description: Students will learn several topics in mathematics including but not limited to: bad debt, importance of spending plans, non-traditional financial services, being an informed consumer, buying stocks, sell strategy, mutual fund options, investing in education, planning for the future, purchasing your first home, taxes and tax planning, life insurance options, health insurance, property insurance, estate planning, and keeping money in perspective.

Prerequisite: Algebra II

APPLIED MATHEMATICS

20244000

Course Description- This course aligns to the high school standards for  Algebra I and Geometry with an emphasis on application in a contextual environment through applications. This course should allow the students to apply the concepts learned in Algebra I and Geometry and should not be the first time students learn these concepts. The critical areas deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships through analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. The course expands and explores more complex geometric situations and geometric relationships. The Standards for Mathematical Practice are interwoven with the content standards throughout the course, prescribing that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

1 year, credit; Grade 12

Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II
