Algebra 2-B CP
Pre-requisite: CP Algebra 2A
This course includes all topics from the second half of the CP Algebra II curriculum. It will include numerous exercises and the extended time necessary to help students develop a deeper understanding of the topics. It will also provide students with the additional practice needed to reinforce these skills.
Algebra II CP Pre-requisite: Geometry or Virtual Academy Geometry Summer Course
CP Algebra II will begin with a review of basic algebra concepts, with an emphasis on solving equations and problem-solving. Topics studied in Algebra II include inequalities, linear equations, polynomials, factoring, polynomial equations, rational expressions, radicals, and complex numbers. Quadratic equations, polynomial equations, and logarithms will also be discussed.
Pre-Calculus CP Pre-requisite: CP Algebra 2
Pre-Calculus begins with a review of algebra topics. It is designed to provide a student with the basics of trigonometry (triangle solutions, inverse relations, trig function graphs, vectors, and trig equation solutions), analytic geometry (line, coordinate geometry, and conic sections), and an introduction to calculus concepts.
Pre-Calculus - Honors Pre-requisite: CP Algebra 2
The goal of Honors Precalculus is to prepare students for AP Calculus. The concepts and topics examined are meant to deepen students' understanding of algebraic concepts and expand their ability to process and think at higher abstract and conceptual levels. The curriculum will provide a comprehensive analysis of Trigonometry and Precalculus, building upon students' prior mathematical knowledge. Topics examined include, but are not limited to Functions, Conic Sections, Matrices, Sequences & Series, the Unit Circle, Analytic Trigonometry, Vectors, Polar Coordinates, Parametric Equations, and Limits. All of the topics covered will be applied to real-world situations through life problems, projects, and writing assignments.
Calculus CP Pre-requisite: Pre-Calculus or Honors Pre-Calculus
This course will begin with a review of pre-calculus concepts. Some of the calculus topics discussed will include limits, differentiation, related rates, curve sketching, graphing, integration, logarithmic functions, exponential functions, optimization and area between curves. Applications of these topics will be included throughout the course.
Calculus AP Pre-requisite: Honors Pre-Calculus
Advanced Placement Calculus will follow the outline for the Advanced Placement Course AB and BC as prescribed by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students are encouraged to earn college credit and possible advancement by demonstrating their competence on the AP examination in May. Although students are strongly encouraged to purchase their own graphing calculators, the school will provide TI-84 calculators for classroom use to those students who have not, or are unable to purchase one on their own.
