Course Number: 102210

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 with 70% or Higher               Open to Grades: 9, 10

Description: Geometry topics are studied using both an inductive and a deductive approach. Students discover

relationships through experimentation and then verify their discoveries by deductive proofs. Real world applications and

algebraic connections are emphasized. Topics include: definitions, constructions, parallel line properties, triangle and

polygon properties, circles, transformations, tessellations, symmetry, area, surface area, volume, the Pythagorean

Theorem, similarity, basic trigonometry, and basic logic.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 or teacher recommendation        Open to Grades: 9, 10

Note(s):       Class meets 5 days per week and then meets on either A or

               B days for additional class time each week.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 with a 90% or higher or teacher  Open to Grades: 9, 10

               recommendation

Description: This is a fast paced high school geometry course that integrates synthetic, coordinate, and

transformational geometry. This course extends the students’ knowledge of algebra, develops their understanding of

proofs, and provides opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in real-world situations. Reading mathematics

and writing logical arguments are emphasized.

Course Title: Algebra 2                                                   Credit Value:                   1.0

Number:

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 and Geometry with an 80% or      Open to Grades: 9, 10, 11,

               higher or concurrent enrollment in Geometry                                                12

Description: Detailed study of functions (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and radical), function operations,

matrices, probability, series, sequences, and statistics are used to develop problem-solving skills, critical thought

processes, and decision-making techniques. Practical application problems show connections between course content

and other fields while written practice provides reinforcement of concepts and extension of communication skills.

Note(s):       Class meets 5 days per week and then meets on either A or

               B days for additional class time each week.

Description: Students enrolling in this course are expected to apply prior algebra knowledge in order to enhance current

algebra practices. Algebra 2 is the study of functions: polynomial (linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic), piece-wise,

exponential, logarithmic, radical, and rational. Functions are explored through multiple representations and practical

application problems show connections between course content and real world application. Function operations and

transformations provide a common thread to link the units of study. Students enrolled in the lab section experience a

lower student-to-teacher ratio and use the extra time to extend classroom concepts, move at a flexible pace, clarify

directions on homework, and reinforce strategies and procedures.
