GEOMETRY (521A)
Year 1 Credit Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 Req: Algebra IB or completion of Algebra I with Department approval. Grade 9 requires Department approval.
This course is part of the Alternate Sequence. This course is fully equivalent to the Geometry course (521) in focus and in content. Emphasis is on geometric relationships using algebraic techniques. Topics covered include introduction to Geometry, introduction to proof, congruent triangles, parallel and perpendicular lines, similarity, right triangles, circles, area, surface area, volume, coordinate geometry, and conditional probability. Course assignments, activities, and assessments will be differentiated according to student needs. A graphing calculator will be required for this course.
HONORS GEOMETRY - ALGEBRA II (529)
Year 1 Credit Grade 10, 11 Req: Honors Algebra I/Geometry
This course is a continuation of the fast-tracked honors sequence in math and is designed for the superior student. The student will work at an accelerated pace and in more depth to finish the remaining content of Geometry and all of the Algebra II content in one year. A graphing calculator will be required for this course.
HONORS ALGEBRA II-TRIGONOMETRY (528)
Year 1 Credit Grade 10, 11 Req: Honors Geometry
This course is the continuation of the honors sequence in math for the students completing Honors Geometry. The student will work at a faster pace and in more depth compared to our regular Alg. II-Trig. course. The topics covered include equations and inequalities, real numbers, graphing, systems of sentences, relations and functions, polynomials, rational expressions, radicals, quadratic functions, complex numbers, quadratic equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions and identities, and using probability distribution. A graphing calculator will be required for this course.
ALGEBRA II/TRIG. (572)
Year 1 Credit Grades 10, 11, 12 Req: Geometry
This rigorous course is the standard course for the third year of math. It is recommended for students who have averaged "C" or better in their previous math courses. The topics covered include equations and inequalities, real numbers, graphing, systems of sentences, relations and functions, polynomials, rational expressions, radicals, quadratic functions, complex numbers, quadratic equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, and trigonometric identities, and using probability distributions. This course is highly recommended for students seeking a career that requires a strong mathematical foundation. A graphing calculator will be required for this course.
CONCEPTS IN INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: MATH 12 (530 S)
Year 1 Credit Grade 11 Req: Qualifying learning disability and appropriate IEP
This course is fully equivalent to the Concepts in Intermediate Algebra course (530) in focus and in content. It is designed to meet the needs of students who have been identified with a specified learning disability in mathematical computation and/or mathematical reasoning. Topics covered include: real numbers, equations and inequalities, graphing, systems of sentences, relations and functions, polynomials, rational expressions, radicals, quadratic functions, complex numbers, quadratic equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, and using probability distributions.
