GEOMETRY HONORS Year 5 credits GRADES 9-10
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I with at least a 90% average. Freshman will
be recommended to this course based upon a rigorous selection process involving a review
of standardized test scores and achievement in Math courses.
This course will be in a form that is more rigorous, in-depth, and extensive in its coverage than either Geometry
Accelerated or Geometry. This course will require additional homework and studying as a strong understanding
of Algebra 1 content is spiraled. Geometry uses precise language and exact statements to underline the
logical structure of mathematics. Taught in alignment with the NJSLS-M (NJ Student Learning Standards),
Geometry Honors requires students to master the following: transformations in the plane, relationships with
triangles, congruence in terms of rigid motion, prove geometric theorems, understand and apply the properties
of quadrilaterals & polygons, define and apply trigonometric ratios, understand and apply theorems about
circles, and visualize relationships between two- and three- dimensional objects. Students will apply geometric
concepts in modeling situations. Analytical and graphical approaches are employed to further develop
students’ mathematical growth in order to prepare for the 21st century and college and career readiness.
ALGEBRA II Integrated Year 5 credits GRADES 10-12
Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra I and Geometry.
Algebra II Integrated is the third course of a three year sequential mathematics program for high school
students. Taught in alignment with the NJSLS-M (New Jersey Student Learning Standards of Mathematics),
Algebra II further develops students’ comprehension of Algebra 1 concepts and functions through continued
development of the study of quadratic functions, linear systems, mixed systems, and polynomial functions.
Students will have to apply Algebra II concepts in modeling situations. Analytical and graphical approaches
are employed to further develop students’ mathematical growth in order to prepare for the 21st century and
college and career readiness. Additionally, Algebra 1 and Geometry standards will be reviewed and spiraled
into instruction to prepare students for standardized assessments.
ALGEBRA II ACCELERATED Year 5 credits GRADES 10-12
Prerequisite: Students must complete Algebra 1 with an 80% average or higher, and complete
Geometry A with a 75% average or higher.
Algebra II Accelerated is the third course of a rigorous three year sequential mathematics program for high
school students. Taught in alignment with the NJSLS-M (New Jersey Student Learning Standards of
Mathematics), Algebra II A further develops students’ comprehension of algebraic concepts and functions by
building upon students’ knowledge base of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. The course extends
concepts to include polynomial, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions. The study of
sequences and series is also implemented. Students will have to apply Algebra II concepts in modeling
situations. Analytical and graphical approaches are employed to further develop students’ mathematical
growth in order to prepare for the 21st century and college and career readiness.
ALGEBRA II HONORS Year 5 credits GRADES 9-11
Prerequisite: Students must demonstrate completion of both Algebra I and Geometry A with a 90%
average or higher, or Geometry Honors with an 80% average or higher.
Freshmen will be recommended to this course based upon a selection process involving a review of
standardized test scores and achievement in Middle School Math courses.
This course is more rigorous and extensive in its coverage than Algebra II Accelerated or Algebra II Integrated.
Students will be required to perform at an honors level of achievement as this course builds upon Algebra 1
and Geometry Honors content. Algebra II Honors is the third course of a rigorous three year sequential
mathematics program for high school students. Taught in alignment with the NJSLS-M (New Jersey Student
Learning Standards of Mathematics), Algebra II A further develops students’ comprehension of algebraic
concepts and functions by building upon students’ knowledge base of linear, quadratic, and exponential
functions. The course extends concepts to include polynomial, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and rational
functions. The study of sequences and series is also implemented. Students will have to apply Algebra II
concepts in modeling situations. Analytical and graphical approaches are employed to further develop
students’ mathematical growth in order to prepare for 21st century and college and career readiness.
