Courses Offered

 

This is an introductory-level course. In Algebra, students will see that certain properties that exist when working with expressions that represent numbers can now be written in an abstract form involving variables. Students will extend this knowledge to include absolute value equations, linear inequalities, and systems of linear equations. Also, they will be able to interpret functions that occur in applications including linear, quadratic, and exponential models.

This is an introductory-level course. Geometry AB introduces students to formal geometric proofs and the study of plane figures, with an emphasis on Euclidean geometry. Concepts included are geometric transformations, proving geometric theorems, congruence and similarity, analytic geometry, and right triangle trigonometry. Students are expected to model real-world situations and make decisions using these ideas. 

 

This is an Honors level course. In this course, students will expand concepts from Algebra 1 including rewriting, interpreting, and examining rational, radical, polynomial expressions and arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. They will also expand their knowledge of rational, polynomial, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Systems of equations will be explored for two or more variables. Students will further build on trigonometry they learned in geometry to include the unit circle and prove/apply trigonometric identities.

This is an introductory-level course. The focus of Precalculus AP is problem-solving using mathematical models to represent real-world situations. Students will build upon and further explore expressions, equations, and functions learned in earlier math courses to develop patterns, take, or test conjectures, and try multiple representations. Students will learn about inverse functions and how restricting the domain of a function that is not always increasing or decreasing allows its inverse to be constructed. Students are introduced to vectors in the complex plane and gain fluency in transferring between rectangular and polar forms. dents will explore the properties of matrices as they apply matrix operations to solve equation systems and understand how matrices help solve real-world problems quickly and algorithmically. Students will apply their knowledge of trigonometry as they explore the unit circle and model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions. Students will solve real world problems involving the Laws of Sines and Cosines. Students will derive equations for conic sections from the definition of foci and by completing the square.

This course is designed to prepare students for other college-level mathematics and science courses by having them engage in modeling with real-world data, exploring multiple representations of functions, mastering symbolic manipulation, and building functions that reflect the dynamic, shifting reality of how things change. This approach is embedded throughout the units of study, which include polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and polar functions. Students learn how to perform various calculations on a graphing calculator to aid in their analysis and understanding of the concepts, Parametric functions, vectors, and matrices are also studied, but not included on the AP exam. 

This is an Honors/Advanced Placement level course. Honors Precalculus / AP Calculus A is a one-year accelerated course covering all topics in the regular Precalculus course, and advancing through introductory concepts of the Limit, instantaneous rate of change including differentiation, and applications. Students will develop the ability to apply the knowledge gained to real-world application of these ideas. This course is intended for students who wish to advance directly to AP Calculus BC the following academic year, or for any student who wishes to undertake a higher-level course than the regular Precalculus. This is an Honors/Advanced Placement course: the content will be more in-depth, and the pacing is faster than a Regular Advanced Mathematics class.

 

Statistics is an introductory course for students in many areas of study. Topics discussed include displaying and describing data, the normal curve, regression, probability, statistical inference, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests with applications in the real world.

 

This is an Advanced Placement level course. AP Statistics is an introductory college-level statistics course that introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students cultivate their understanding of statistics using technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they explore concepts like variation and distribution; patterns and uncertainty; and data-based predictions, decisions, and conclusions. This is an Advanced Placement course: the content will be more in-depth, and the pacing is faster than a Regular mathematics class.
