Algebra 1
No prerequisites
For all 9th graders
3 credits (one year long)
Algebra 1 is an introduction to higher-level mathematics. Students will further explore concepts learned in Pre-Algebra. There will be continued emphasis on solving and graphing equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and inequalities. Students will be introduced to new ideas such as quadratic and radical expressions, statistics, probability and trigonometry. Students will be exposed to the process approach in the problem solving strategies.

Geometry
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
10th grade +
3 credits (one year long)

Geometry builds reasoning skills through inductive and deductive thinking with problem solving. Algebraic skills and concepts are applied to enhance geometric understanding. Geometry uses both coordinate and non-coordinate systems with transformations, similarity and congruence properties to explore triangles, polygons, circles and polyhedrons.

Algebra 2
Prerequisites: Algebra 1 and Geometry
10th grade +
3 credits (one year long)

The Algebra 2 course builds on the basic algebraic concepts in relation to factoring polynomials, exponents, solving quadratic equations and inequalities, and graphing. This course will examine scientific notation, roots of quadratic equations, real numbers, logarithms, the graphical solution of simultaneous equations, inequalities, factoring, trigonometric functions, exponential equations, polynomials, and word problems. Statistics, probability, and set theory are also included in this course.

Pre-Calculus
Prerequisites: Algebra 2 and Geometry
10th grade +
3 credits (one year long)

This course will study quadratic equations, relations, functions, theory of equations, systems of equations and inequalities, matrices and determinants, binomial theorem, sequences, series, probability and combinations, measures of angles, properties of graphs of trig functions, fundamental identities, addition and half-angle formulas, inverse trig functions, solutions of trig equations, complex numbers and properties of triangle solution. The last portion of the year will be used for an introduction to calculus
