MATHEMATICS
Statistics CP Pre-requisite: Geometry
Statistics and Selected Topics is designed to provide a student with the basics of descriptive stats (measures of spread and location, histograms, distribution tables, and regression lines), probability, inferential stats (binomial and normal distributions, and hypotheses testing). Although students are encouraged to purchase their own calculators, the school will provide TI-84 calculators for classroom use to those students who have not purchased one on their own.
Statistics AP Pre-requisite: CP Algebra II
This course is divided into four major themes exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability, and statistical inference. The AP Statistics course will follow the outline for the Advanced Placement Course 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.
Mathematical Logic & Problem Solving CP
Pre-requisite: Algebra II CP
Mathematical Logic and Reasoning is designed for the student to be able to understand the mathematics they are doing and explain their reasoning in writing. They will develop problem-solving strategies in order to be able to solve challenging problems, often called riddles or brain teasers. Students will collaborate with their peers in order to discuss, explain, and communicate their solutions to each other. Students will learn to logically work through problems and view the problems from different angles in order to arrive at a solution.
Thinking Mathematically I Pre-requisite: Geometry
A mathematical mindset is a skill that can be used in your day to day life and applied in the arts. This elective class is an opportunity for students to see math in a different light and experience more success in understanding its applications. Students will be using knowledge from Geometry and Algebra 1 to complete various tasks ranging from creating artwork to real world abstract thinking.Topics of study include: Origami - 2D Design - History of Mathematicians - Tessellations - 3D Design
Thinking Mathematically II Pre-requisite: Geometry
A mathematical mindset is a skill that can be used in your day to day life and applied in the arts. This elective class is an opportunity for students to see math in a different light and experience more success in understanding its applications. Students will be using knowledge from Geometry and Algebra 1 to complete various tasks ranging from creating artwork to real world abstract thinking.Topics of study include: Desmos Art - History of Mathematicians - Budgeting - Mixing Problems - Product Invention
