COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSES

Algebra I

This course provides mastery of algebra skills including operations with real numbers simplifying algebraic expressions, solving linear equations and inequalities, solving quadratic equations, solving systems of linear equations, graphing linear equations, properties of exponents, simplifying radicals, operating with polynomials, and factoring polynomials. A scientific calculator is recommended for this course. Those students receiving an ―A each semester will receive scholarship credit.
Prerequisite: Passing grade in eighth grade math
1 year – 1 credit

 

Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with the measurements and relations of planar figures (segments lines, angles polygons, circles) and solids (rectangular solids, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres). The content also includes the development of deductive reasoning and an introduction to basic trigonometry. Due to the challenging nature of geometry, students should expect homework every night in this course. A scientific calculator is recommended for this course.
Prerequisite: "C" or better in Algebra I
1 year – 1 credit


 

Algebra II

This course is a continuation of the study of algebra. The content includes the concepts from Algebra I, synthetic substitution and division, negative and rational exponents, complex numbers, relations and functions, conics, logarithms, and an introduction to trigonometry. This course is strongly recommended for college-bound students. A graphing calculator is recommended for this course. Students should expect homework every night.
Prerequisite: "C" or better in Geometry and Algebra I
1 year – 1 credit

 

Pre-Calculus

This course is a continuation of the study of algebra, a study of trigonometry, and an introduction to calculus. It is designed to prepare the college-bound student for college level mathematics. The content includes concepts from Algebra II, sequences, series, binomial expansion, matrices and determinants, permutations, combinations, probability, trigonometry, and calculus. A graphing calculator is required for this course. Students should expect homework every night.
Prerequisite: "B" or better in Algebra II
1 year – 1 credit

 

Transition to College Mathematics

This course is offered as an alternative for college-bound seniors who have limited experience or success in college preparatory mathematics. It is designed for students who either were not recommended for Pre-Calculus or do not feel confident taking Pre-Calculus. It is the study of the algebra, geometry, basic trigonometry essential for success in an introductory college math course. It will also include topics in statistics and probability. Emphasis is placed on applications. A scientific calculator is required for this course.
Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II
 
1 year – 1 credit
