Course Title: Geometry Credit Value: 1.0
Term(s) Offered: Full Year
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.
Course Title: Geometry with Lab Credit Value: 1.0
Course Number: 102211 Term(s) Offered: Full Year
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.

Course Title: Honors Geometry Credit Value: 1.0
Course 102220 Term(s) Offered: Full Year
Number:
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
Course 102310 Term(s) Offered: Full Year
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.
Course Title: Algebra 2 with Lab Credit Value: 1.0
Course Number: 102311 Term(s) Offered: Full Year
Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 and Geometry or teacher Open to Grades: 10, 11, 12
recommendation
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.
