Foundations II
       This course is designed for students in the technical path or college-bound student not ready to enter Algebra I.  The students will demonstrate the relative size and graphical representations of irrational numbers.  The student will simplify algebraic expressions and solve equations and inequalities.  Foundations I is not a prerequisite for this class.  This class only counts as an elective for the college bound student.

Algebra I
        This course is designed to develop and build on algebraic skills and concepts such as the use of integers, rational expressions, linear equations, distributive properties, and other such areas.  Although all the concepts taught in Advanced Algebra I are covered in this course, they are taught at a slower pace.

Honors Algebra I
        this course is similar to the regular Algebra I course in content; however, concepts are taught at an accelerated pace.  Integers, decimals, and distributive properties are some of the areas in which a student needs to excel before coming into this course.  a teacher recommendation is encouraged.

Geometry
        This is a basic Geometry course.  This course is designed for those students that are weak in math, but still need a Geometry credit for college or technical school.  Prerequisites: Algebra I

Honors Geometry
        This is a college preparatory course.  it is designed for those students that have a good math background (algebra included) and want to get the most from their high school education.  Students should have maintained at least a "B" or "C+" average to register for this course.

Algebra II and Honors Algebra II
        This course is designed for college-bound students or technical students with a strong math background.  It is the second of a two-year sequence in algebra and is usually taken the junior or sophomore year.  The course is primarily theoretical in nature and covers rational equations, matrices, quadratic equations, and logarithms.  Prerequisites:  Algebra I with Geometry is preferred

Technical Geometry
Technical Geometry incorporates the same core geometric concepts required in a stand geometry course but includes additional topics that focus on career and technical applications. These concepts will be taught using practical applications in a contextual style of teaching, including labs and projects. The structure of the course will include teaching groups of skills and concepts followed by their concepts followed by their incorporation in a real work application and setting

Pre-Calculus
        A mathematics course investigating properties of functions involving differentiation and integration.  The course is designed for college-bound students.
Prerequisites:  Trigonometry

Calculus
        This course is designed for the college-bound student whose career goals will include taking Calculus in college (such as engineering, medical, and pharmacy).  Calculus consists mainly of two topics: finding the slope of the tangent line of a curve (derivative) and finding the area under a curve (integration), along with the application of these tools in solving real problems.

Gateway Remediation Math
        The Gateway tests are end-of-course tests in English II, Algebra I, and Biology which Tennessee students must pass as part of the requirements for earning a high school diploma. Gateway Remediation is a course that is designed for students to receive remediation in the areas of need reflected by previous Gateway exam reports provided to the school.
