Mathematics Department

Foundations II
    Students will use problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to investigate concepts and topics that prepare them for higher level mathematics. Problem-solving situations will provide an environment that promotes communication and fosters connections within mathematics, to other disciplines, and to the real world. Students will use physical models to represent, explore, and develop abstract concepts. The use of appropriate technology will help students apply mathematics in an increasingly technological world.

Algebra I
        This is a required math course for all students. It covers topics such as solving and graphing linear equations, solving and graphing linear inequalities, polynomials, factoring, quadratic and exponential functions, statistics and probability. This course has a required End of Course state test to be taken at the end of the course.

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 required math course for all students. This course is geared toward the college-bound students. It covers topics such as the language of geometry, reasoning and proof, parallel and perpendicular lines, relationships in triangles, proportions, similarity, right triangles and trigonometry, quadrilaterals, transformations, circles, areas of polygons and circles, surface area, and volume.   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
        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

Honors Algebra II
      Honors Algebra Two is a second year course in Algebra. Topics include systems of linear equations, polynomials, quadratic functions, conic sections, logarithms, complex numbers, matrices, and probability.  Prerequisite: Algebra. Preferred Prerequisite or Co-requisite: Geometry.

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
        This course is for students who are well prepared for advanced mathematics and who will probably go on to take calculus. 
Prerequisites:  Trigonometry

Calculus
      Calculus 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: find the slope of a tangent line for a curve (derivative), and finding the area under a curve (integration), along with the application of these tools in solving real problems. Calculus is an advanced mathematics course that uses meaningful problems and appropriate technology to develop concepts and applications related to continuity and discontinuity of functions and differentiation, and integration. Prerequisite: Pre-calculus.

Trigonometry

        This course is for students who need more review of concepts from previous mathematics courses before going on to PreCalculus.  Geometry and Algebra II are prerequisites.
