This
course is to provide the students an opportunity to
have pre-algebra concepts reinforced before being
introduced to Algebra I concepts. Strategies for solving
non-routine problems are developed. Previously acquired
skills are reinforced as well as extended. Topics
include the real number system, number theory, algebraic
expressions and sentences, inequalities, linear and
absolute value equations, and graphing. Extensive
problem solving, mathematical communication, reasoning,
and mathematical connection are woven throughout the
course. Appropriate use of scientific calculators
is integrated into the course.

Prerequisite:
Pre-Algebra
This
course is a continuation of the algebra concepts first
introduced in the second half of transitional math.
Topics will include linear systems, quadratic equations,
inequalities, radical expressions, factoring polynomials,
and graphing of various functions.

Prerequisite:
Algebra I
Focus
is on discovery and realistic applications of geometric
relationships and principles. Topics include constructions,
inductive and deductive reasoning, points, lines,
planes, angles, triangles, planar figures, similarity
and congruence, circles, three-dimensional geometry,
area, volume, coordinate geometry and transformations.
Extensive problem solving, mathematical communication,
reasoning, and mathematical connections are woven
throughout the course. Appropriate use of scientific
calculators, manipulative, and computers may be integrated
throughout the course.

Prerequisite:
Algebra I and Geometry
Besides
expanding the mathematical concepts of Algebra I,
emphasis is placed on preparation for the study of
higher mathematics/abstract thinking, the function
concept, and the algebraic solution of problems in
various content areas. Topics include the complex
number system, matrices, quadratic equations and inequalities,
graphs of functions and relations, exponential and
logarithmic functions, the binomial theorem, learning
programming, and introductory work in conic sections,
probability, and trigonometry. Extensive problem solving,
mathematical communication, reasoning, and mathematical
connections are woven throughout the course. Appropriate
use of scientific calculators and computers may be
integrated throughout the course.

recommendation
(Credit for class will only be awarded prior to Pre-Calculus
credit, not after).
The purpose of this course is to provide for exploration,
enrichment, maintenance and improvement of previously
acquired skills. A wide variety of topics are offered
in this course including analytic geometry, space
geometry, relations and functions, trigonometry, matrices,
vectors, sequences, series, probability, introduction
to limits, and rate of change problems. Extensive
problem solving, mathematical communication, reasoning,
and mathematical connections are woven throughout
the course. Appropriate use of scientific calculators
with graphing capabilities and computers will be integrated

This
course is faster paced and a more in-depth study of
the concepts taught in transitional math. Students
will be expected to perform at a much higher level.
They should be proficient in their previously acquired
math concepts and skills. Exploration and enrichment
of math concepts and skills will be emphasized. It
is imperative that the students have good study habits,
maturity, and motivation necessary for success in
this class.
