Mathematics
Algebra I
This course lays the groundwork for all mathematics study by establishing the concepts of set theory, axioms, and properties of the real number system. Equations and inequalities are studied, with an emphasis on transforming them into mathematical symbols. Polynomials, rational algebraic expressions, graphing, linear/quadratic equations, and radicals are also examined.
Algebra II
It builds on the algebraic foundation of Algebra I. It involves the study of functions and their graphs, including quadratic, polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and probability. Prerequisite: Algebra I and completion of or concurrently taking Geometry.
Consumer Math
Designed to prepare students to deal with daily life situations requiring knowledge of comparing and reconciling savings accounts and checking accounts, renting apartments, purchasing housing, determining real estate taxes, buying cars, investigating insurance options, etc. This course satisfies the personal financial literacy graduation requirement. This course does not fulfill the math requirements for graduation.
Geometry
Based on Euclid's elements of deductive reasoning which emphasized the geometry of the plane surface. Area, volume, congruent triangles, polygons, and constructions are studied. Algebraic applications of geometric concepts are frequent.
Pre-Calculus
Based on the study of functions. It begins with a review of Algebra II, continues with trigonometric functions and their applications, and concludes with several topics in advanced algebra. Prerequisite: Algebra II.
