Algebra 1A
Major Concepts/Content: The purpose of this course is to develop the algebraic concepts and processes that can be used to solve a variety of real world and mathematical problems. This is the first of a two year sequence of courses, Algebra 1A and Algebra 1B. It is a course that is broken up into two years for easier and better understanding. (Together these courses count as a full credit towards Algebra1 and meet the same requirements.)

Algebra 1
Grades 9-12
Algebra 1 is designed o provide the foundation for more advanced mathematics courses. Topics includes sets, variables, structure and properties of the real number system, solving and graphing first-degree polynomials, factoring, operations with rational algebraic expressions, relations and functions, quadratic equations, radical expressions, irrational numbers, and word problems.
Algebra 1 Honors
Grades 9-12
Provides rigorous and in-depth study of first year algebra. Includes all topics in Algebra 1 and emphasizes deductive reasoning skills.
Geometry
Grades 10-12
Geometry provides opportunity for students to learn about sets of points in the plane and space, gain understanding of the deductive method of thinking, develop creative thinning involving the discovery of relationships and proofs, and develop skill in applying the deductive method to mathematical situations. Topics include the Euclidian geometry of lines, planes, angles, triangles, polygons, circles, area, volume, similarity, congruence, geometric inequalities, constructions, and logic.
Geometry Honors
The purpose of this course is to give a rigorous in-depth study of geometry with emphasis on methods of proof and the formal language of mathematics. Topics shall include, but not be limited to, structure of geometry, separations properties, angle concepts, triangles, quadrilaterals, proofs, perpendicularity and parallelism in a plane and in space, similar polygons, circles and spheres, constructions, area, volume, coordinate geometry, and topology.
Algebra 2
Grades 10-12
Algebra 2 provides for continued study of the structure of algebra and the foundation for applying the skills to the other mathematical and scientific fields. Topics include extending the study of the structure and properties of the real number system, complex number, relations, functions, graphs, polynomial functions, quadratic equations and inequalities, real exponents, word problems, polynomial and rational expressions, and logarithms.
