The courses listed here are required for graduation. Students are required to have four years of math. Please see math electives for choices for the fourth year.

ALGEBRA I

20314000

Course Description: Students will learn several topics in mathematics including but not limited to: writing, solving, and graphing linear and quadratic equations, including systems of two linear equations in two unknowns; solving quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, graphically, or by application of the quadratic formula; and the study of monomial and polynomial expressions, inequalities, exponents, functions, rational expressions, ratio, and proportion. Algebraic skills are applied in a wide variety of problem-solving situations. 

1 year, 1 credit; Grade 9

Prerequisite:  8th Grade Math

GEOMETRY

20344004

Course Description: Course emphasizing an abstract, formal approach to the study of geometry, include topics such as properties of plane and solid figures; deductive reasoning and use of logic; geometry as an axiomatic system including the study of postulates, theorems, and formal proofs; rules of congruence, similarity, parallelism, and perpendicularity; and rules of angle measurement in triangles, including trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and transformational geometry. Review topics: basic measurement, perimeter, area, volume, and inductive methods of reasoning.

1 year, 1 credit.  Grade 10

Prerequisite: Algebra I (or appropriate standards-based assessment scores)

ALGEBRA II

20414004

Course Description: This course reviews the algebraic skills of factoring and special products acquired in Algebra I. The course then continues the teaching of the concepts introduced in Algebra in a more concentrated study. In addition, the course will include working with complex numbers, trigonometric functions, progressions, binomial expansions, polynomial functions as well as introduction to permutations, combinations, and probability. An understanding of the Graphing calculators will be introduced. 

1 year, 1 credit.  Grade 11

Prerequisite: Geometry
