th
Honors Algebra 1 9 grade
Course Number: 3135 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Teacher Recommendation
This is an accelerated Algebra I course designed for highly motivated ninth graders with a strong ability
level in mathematics. Students will demonstrate high levels of performance with linear, quadratic and
exponential functions. There will be solving of multi-operational equations, inequalities and systems of
linear equations. Student reasoning will lead to the writing of viable arguments and application to
real-world application. Students taking this course are required to have a TI-30 scientific calculator. A
standardized End-of-Course exam mandated by the State of Ohio is required for this course.
th
Honors Geometry 9 , 10 grade
th
Course Number: 3130 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Honors Algebra 1 C or higher
The honors level class is designed for freshmen and sophomores that have demonstrated well-developed
mathematical skills in honors Algebra. The material is presented in a more rigorous manner using more
challenging exercises and complex proofs. The content standards will be covered more in depth and with a
greater level of abstraction. The content standards include constructions and proofs, right triangles and
trigonometry, transformations, probability, planar, and solid Euclidean geometry. The Mathematical
Practice Standards apply throughout this course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that
students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to
make sense of problem situations. Students will take the state mandated end-of-course exam. Students are
required to purchase a graphing calculator. (TI-30 Scientific calculator is required.)

th
Course Number: 3105 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Honors Geometry - C or higher
This is an accelerated Algebra 2 course with an integrated emphasis in trigonometry. This course is for
students who will be taking an Advanced Placement math course in their senior year. The course
emphasizes facility with algebraic expressions and forms, especially quadratic forms, powers and roots.
Students will study logarithmic, trigonometric, polynomial, and other special functions. Additional topics
will include polynomial identities to complex numbers, fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Binomial
Theorem and operations of rational expressions.
Students taking this course are required to have a TI-83/84 calculator.

Honors Analysis 11 12 grade
Course Number: 3300 Full Year 1 Credit
Prerequisite: C+ or better in Honors Functions, Statistics and Trigonometry and Department
Recommendation. This course is the last in the series of honors prerequisites designed to prepare the
student for a full Advanced Placement Calculus BC course in the 12th grade. Students entering this course
are expected to be thoroughly familiar with algebraic properties and concepts. Topics discussed include:
axioms and properties of ordered fields, complex numbers, mathematical induction, sequences and series,
data analysis, polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, circular and trigonometric
