INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA     Full-Year Class Grades: 10-12 Prerequisite:  Algebra I and Geometry Credit Value: .5 per semester/Math Course Description: This is not a terminal math course! This will build on their understanding of linear equations with one variable and linear functions in Pre-Algebra. Students in this course deepen their knowledge of multiple representations of data and situations and develop mathematical reasoning by using symbolic and visual representations including graphs, tables, verbal or written statements and algebraic equations to solve and communicate solutions in real-world situations .

ALGEBRA II      Full-Year Class Grades: 10-12 Prerequisite:  Algebra I and Geometry Credit Value: .5 per semester/Math Course Description:  This is a comprehensive Algebra II course for juniors and seniors. The basic algebraic functions (linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and rational) are investigated verbally, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. The course fulfills standard college entrance requirements.

HONORS ALGEBRA II        Full-Year Class Grades: 10-11 Prerequisite:  Grade of B or better in Algebra I recommended and Geometry Credit Value: .5 per semester/Math; advanced class on 5.0 GPA scale Course Description:  This is a comprehensive Algebra II course for qualified sophomores and juniors. Topics are similar to those in the Algebra II course listed above, but they are investigated in greater depth and the assignments are more challenging. Students are prepared for Honors Analysis, Honors Trigonometry, and AP Calculus
Algebra III Full-Year Class Grades: 11-12 Prerequisite: recommended grade of C or better in Honors Algebra II Credit Value: 1 per semester/Math Course Description: This is a modern analytic approach to the study of college algebra topics with emphasis on the language of mathematics and reasoning skills. Properties of real and complex numbers are investigated and applied to applications using algebra, technology, and data analysis. Each student enrolled will be provided with a graphing calculator.

HONORS TRIGONOMETRY/ PRE-CALCULUS      Full-Year Class Grades: 11-12 Prerequisite:  Grade of B or better in Honors Algebra II recommended or teacher approval or an A in Algebra II Credit Value: .5 per semester/Math; advanced class on 5.0 GPA scale Course Description: This is a modern analytic approach to the study of college algebra topics with emphasis on the language of mathematics and reasoning skills. Properties of real and complex numbers are investigated and applied to applications using algebra, technology, and data analysis. It prepares students for the study of Calculus and other kinds of pre-engineering mathematics and science. Each student enrolled will be provided with a graphing calculator.

AP CALCULUS AB      Full-Year Class Grades: 12 Prerequisite:  Grade of B or better in Honors Analysis/Honors Trigonometry recommended Credit Value: .5 per semester/Math; advanced class on 5.0 GPA scale

Fees: Student pays reduced price for AP exam in May Course Description: This class is designed for students who plan to enter universities and major in engineering, economics, life sciences, mathematics, physical sciences, and similar programs. Calculus investigates how to think clearly and rigorously about change, motion, approximation, and infinite processes. It is a college-level course intended for serious math students, and it requires a sound knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.  Students who make a score of 3 or above on the AP Calculus exam generally receive college credit for at least Calculus 1.  Not all colleges take AP scores as credit.

AP STATISTICS Full-Year Class Grades: 11-12 Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II/Honors Algebra II, with B or better each semester recommended. Credit Value: .5 per semester/Math; advanced class on 5.0 GPA scale

Fees: Student pays reduced price for AP exam in May Course Description:  This course will introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, probability and statistical inference.
