Algebra 1 is designed to 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 equations/inequalities, systems of linear equations/inequalities, integral exponents, operations with polynomials, factoring, operations with rational algebraic expressions, relations and functions, quadratic equations, radical expressions, irrational numbers, and word problems.

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 Algebra1B (Together the courses have the same requirements as Algebra 1.)

Algebra 1 Honors

Grade 9—12  Prerequisite: Teacher Recommendation

Provides rigorous and in-depth study of first year algebra.  Includes all topics in Algebra 1 and emphasizes deductive reasoning skills.

Algebra 2 provides for continued study of the structure of algebra and the foundation for applying the skills to other mathematical and scientific fields. Topics include extending the study of the structure and properties of the real number system, complex numbers, relations, functions, graphs, polynomial functions, quadratic equations and inequalities, real exponents, word problems, polynomial and rational expressions, and logarithms.

The purpose of this course is to present an in-depth study of the topics of Algebra 2 with emphasis on theory, proof, and development of formulas, as well as their applications. Topics shall include, but not be limited to, algebraic structure, first-degree equations in one and two variables solved algebraically and graphically, systems of equations and inequalities, functions and relations, polynomial and rational expressions, exponents, radicals, logarithms, complex numbers, conic sections, polynomial equations, sequences, series, permutations, combinations, probability, and matrices.

Students may take the Advanced Placement Calculus Examination at the conclusion of this course. Many colleges give calculus credit for the students who make a high score on the exam. The course content follows the outline prepared by the College Board for Advanced Placement Calculus AB.

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 thinking 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.

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.

Informal Geometry

Grades: 10-12 Prerequisite: C in Algebra 1-A and Algebra 1-B; in Algebra 1

This course develops the geometric knowledge that can be used to solve a variety  of real-world and mathematical problems.  The course content is less rigorous than Geometry as it does not include formal proofs.

Liberal Arts Math

Grades: 10-12 Prerequisite: Algebra 1

Designed to strengthen mathematics skills involving first year algebra and to introduce some geometric concepts.

Integrated Math 3

Grades 10-12 Prerequisite: C or better on Algebra 2

This course develops the advanced algebraic and geometric concepts and processes that can be used to solve a variety of real-world and mathematical problems.
