Geometry
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: Algebra I

This course is an introduction to the mathematics that deals with the measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, planes, and angles. These geometric ideas are built into definitions, properties, postulates, and theorems through logical step-by-step deductive reasoning using both direct and indirect proofs. It is in this way, this course covers the essence of pure mathematics. Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator.

Computers I
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: None

The Computer I course is designed to provide all students with the full range of computer skills which they will need in high school, in college, and provide them with some basic experience in areas which may become important to them in future careers. Through a brief survey, the students will learn the history of computers and their important uses. All other aspects of the class will be hands-on. Word processing, Database, Power Point and Spreadsheet will all be studied in depth, and the students will master these applications while completing projects with real-life applicability. Image processing and Multimedia will also be examined. Students will be required to purchase the textbook for this course.

Algebra I
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: None

This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of algebra including algebraic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It uses statistics and geometry as settings for work with linear expression and sentences. Probability provides a context for algebraic fractions, functions, and set ideas. There is much work with graphing. Applications motivate all topics, and include exponential growth and compound interest. Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator.

Algebra II
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry

Algebra II is a required core mathematics course and is an extension of Algebra I. Many topics that are introduced in Algebra I are studied in greater depth and detail in Algebra II.  Included topics are linear, quadratic and exponential functions. As an extension of Geometry, an introduction to trigonometry will also be studied.  Further attention will be given to the study of polynomials and methods for their solutions.  New concepts in functions matrices, sequences and series are introduced.  The emphasis will be on making connections between concepts, their representations in symbolic, graphical and verbal forms and how they are applied in numerous professional career fields.  Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator.

Transition Math
1 credit, 1 semester (does not satisfy math requirements)
Prerequisite: None

The course provides a bridge for those students who additional assistance to become prepared for the formal study of algebra. The course focuses on computation and estimation with rational numbers and emphasizing proportional reasoning.

Pre-Calculus
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: Algebra II

The course integrates the math background students must have to be successful in the Calculus (advanced work with functions and trigonometry, introduction to limits) with the discrete mathematics (number systems, sets, combinations, permutations, recursion, sequences and series) and is helpful in computer science. Mathematical thinking; including specific attention to formal logic and proof, is a theme throughout. Technology, Computers and graphing calculators, will be used during this course. Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator. Each year, one section will be taught at the Pre-Advanced Placement (fall semester) as preparation for AP Calculus (spring semester). Final class assignments will be approved by the AP Calculus instructor.

AP Calculus (AB)
2 credits, 2 semesters
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus (Pre-AP) and Senior status

The Calculus course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of the limit as a means for the analysis of functions using differentiation and integration. Studies emphasize the importance of calculus as an analytical tool to solve dynamic problems using numerical, limits of functions, graphical and verbal methods. Students should be motivated to take the course in order to earn college credit through successful achievement on the College Board AP Calculus exam. Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator.

Discrete Mathematics
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: Algebra II

The Discrete Mathematics course is an introduction to set theory, logic, induction and recursion, matrix algebra, tree diagrams, graph theory, difference equations and recurrence relations.  Discrete mathematics is one of the fastest growing math subjects today.  It is driven by its practical applications to studies of social and economic forces in our society, the explosion of computer applications, and the need to find efficient and economical solutions for businesses.  Studies emphasize problem solving using graphical, numerical, analytical and verbal methods.

Statistics
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: Algebra II

Elementary statistics is a basic study of how to collect, organize, analyze and interpret numerical information.  The course will include descriptive statistics, probability, and inferential statistical concepts and methods.  In addition to a valuable life skill, the course provides a basis for further studies of mathematics, business, science, and education at the post-secondary level. Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator.

AP Statistics
1 credit, 1 semester
Prerequisite: Algebra II and Junior or Senior status

The AP Statistics course is an introduction to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data.  Students will be exposed to four conceptual themes:  1) Exploring Data; 2) Sampling and Experimentation; 3) Anticipating Patterns; and 4) Statistical Inference.  Students should be motivated to take the course in order to earn college credit through successful achievement on the College Board AP Statistics exam. Students are required to buy and use a graphing utility calculator.
