Algebra I

The purpose of this course is to allow the student to gain mastery in working with and evaluating mathematical expressions, equations, graphs, and other topics in a year long algebra course. Topics included are real numbers, simplifying real number expressions with and without variables, solving linear equations and inequalities, solving quadratic equations, graphing linear and quadratic equations, polynomials, factoring, linear patterns, linear systems of equality and inequality, simple matrices, sequences, and radicals. Assessments within the course include multiple-choice, short-answer, or extended response questions. Also included in this course are self-check quizzes, audio tutorials, and interactive games. Syllabus

Algebra II

Students will use their prior knowledge from previous courses to learn and apply Algebra II skills. This course will include topics such as functions, radical functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, geometry, conic sections, systems of equations, probability, and statistics. Students will apply the skills that they learn in this course to real world situations. Syllabus

Calculus

This course introduces limits, differentiation, and integration of functions. Students will find and evaluate finite and infinite limits graphically, numerically, and analytically. They will find derivatives using a variety of methods including The Chain Rule and Implicit Differentiation. They will use the First Derivative Test and The Second Derivative Test to analyze and sketch functions. Subsequently, students will find anti derivatives using a variety of methods including substitution. They will evaluate integrals using a variety of methods including numerical integration. They will understand and apply Riemann sums, definite integrals, and The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In particular, they will differentiate and integrate logarithmic, exponential, and inverse trigonometric functions. They will solve simple differential equations that can be solved by separation of variables and use them to solve applied problems. They will use integration to determine the area between two curves, volume, and surface area. Finally, they will apply integration to determine work, center of mass, and fluid force. Syllabus

The use of a graphing calculator is considered an integral part of the course and students will use a graphing calculator throughout this course.

Consumer Math

This is comprehensive review and study of arithmetic skills that apply to both personal and vocational business opportunities. Topics include whole numbers, fractions, percentages, basic statistics, and graphs. Practical applications in finance, taxes, budgeting, banking and home ownership are provided. Syllabus

Geometry

This is a comprehensive look at the study of geometric concepts including the basic elements of geometry, proofs, parallel and perpendicular lines, the coordinate plane, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, trigonometry, congruence and similarity, surface area, volume and transformations. Syllabus

Integrated Math

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an overview of the many mathematical disciplines. Topics included are number sense, geometry, algebra, measurement, probability & statistics, and data interpretation. Assessments within the course include multiple-choice, short-answer, or extended response questions. Also included in this course are self-check quizzes, audio tutorials, web quests and interactive games.

Students will build mathematical skills that allow students to solve problems and reason logically. Students will be able to communicate their understanding by organizing, clarifying, and refining mathematical information for a given purpose; students will use everyday and mathematical language and notation in appropriate and efficient forms to clearly express or represent complex ideas and information. Syllabus

Pre-Algebra

This course builds upon the essential skills of arithmetic as they apply to algebra. Real numbers and linear equations, linear inequalities, factoring, fractions, graphing and some elements of geometry are stressed. Syllabus

Pre-Calculus (one semester course)

This course is designed to go through the major topics of Pre-Calculus and to prepare students to move on to Calculus. After completing this course students will understand polynomial functions, polar coordinates, complex numbers, conic sections, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, sequences and series. PREREQUISITE: Trigonometry Syllabus

Trigonometry (One semester course)

This course is designed to go through the topics of Trigonometry and the related real world applications of trigonometric topics. After students complete this course they will have an understanding of how trigonometry is used in day to day life and how it relates to other mathematical topics. Prerequisite: Algebra II Syllabus
