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 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.

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:
Teacher Recommendation Only
This
course is designed for students who have acquired
computational skills and some fundamental algebraic
and geometric concepts. Students will apply these
concepts to non-routine problems using modeling and
manipulative materials. Topics include those in real-world
mathematics (consumer, career, sports, business, industry,
etc.) with concepts developed through problem solving
activities. These activities include: getting to know
the calculator, naming number in different ways, finding
answers with the calculator, learning problem-solving
techniques, estimation, measuring in English and metric
units, using graphs, charts, and table, dealing with
data, working with lines and angles, working with
two and three dimensional shapes, ratios and proportions,
scale drawing, signed numbers, scientific, notation,
powers and roots, precision, accuracy, tolerance,
and using formulas to solve problems. Appropriate
use of computers is integrated throughout the course.
