Math Course Title Year Units Fundamentals of Math (0401) & Physical Science (0301) 9 1 unit each Basic math concepts will be taught in the context of physical science to help students grasp the significance and reality of mathematics. Math skills will be introduced, applied and drilled within the context of physical science. Scientific experimentation will include organization and presentation of data, manipulation and control of variables, finding variables in data, and the logic to think through concepts. Experimentation is designed to introduce algebraic concepts. Pre-req: Placement by Math Department Introduction to Algebra (0406) 9,10 1 This course is open to those students who have mastered basic computational skills but are not ready for a full algebra course. Students will study the material of Algebra 1 on an introductory level. When this course is successfully completed the student will enroll only in Algebra Concepts. Pre-req: Successful completion of Fundamentals of Math or Department placement Algebra Concepts (0410) 10,11 1 This course can only be taken after a student has successfully completed Introduction to Algebra. Students will study the material of Algebra 1, building on what was taught in Introduction to Algebra. Emphasis is given to linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, graphing of equations, and slopes. When this course is successfully completed the student may enroll in Geometry. Pre-req: ONLY by a "C" or better in Introduction to Algebra Math Skills for Life (0412) 10, 11, 12  .5 or 1 Math Skills for Life will be taught using life activities lessons. Students will study practical mathematics concepts such as earning money, budgets, banking and investing. Pre-req: Successful completion of Fundamentals of Math or by Department placement     Algebra 1 (0413) 9 1 This course emphasizes solving linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, graphing of equations and slopes, and simplifying irrational expressions. Pre-req: Department placement Algebra 1A (0416) 9 1 This is an accelerated and more rigorous course than Algebra 1, which will teach students to think more critically. Basic and advanced algebraic concepts will be taught in greater detail and advanced calculator techniques will be taught. Pre-req: Department placement Geometry (0423) 9,10,11,12 1 This course studies geometric design and number concepts and uses the principles of logic, inductively and deductively, to arrive at conclusions which are based upon definitions, assumptions, and theorems. Geometry is necessary for the further study of math and science. Pre-req: Successful completion of Algebra Concepts or Algebra 1 or department placement Geometry A (0426) 9,10,11,12 1 This is an accelerated and more rigorous course than Geometry, which will put greater emphasis on the use of deductive reasoning and proofs. Students will be taught how to solve more advanced problems and challenged to think more critically. Pre-req: Successful completion of Algebra 1 or Algebra 1A, and invitation of the Math Department Algebra 2 (0430) 11,12 1 This is a course in algebra intended for college bound students who are not planning on a course of study in mathematics, the science fields or other fields in which advanced mathematics will be required but do need a year of mathematics beyond Geometry. The material covered will expand the student's knowledge of algebraic concepts and processes. Pre-req: Successful completion of Geometry, or Algebra Concepts with consent of the instructor. Advanced Algebra (0433) 10,11,12 1 A thorough review and expansion of Algebra 1 to include inequalities, linear systems, functions, polynomials, irrational numbers, analytic geometry, logarithms, sequences and series, and matrices. Pre-req: Successful completion of Geometry or Geometry A, or concurrent enrollment in Geometry. Advanced Algebra_A (0436) 10,11,12 1 This is an accelerated advanced algebra course. Concepts will be covered in greater detail and higher level problems and questioning techniques will be used to begin to prepare students for the rigors of Calculus. Pre-req: Successful completion of Geometry or Geometry A, and invitation of the Math Department or with Math Department approval. Trigonometry (0439) 10,11,12 .5 A study of trigonometric functions and their inverses, circular functions, triangle trigonometry, sine waves, vectors and complex number equations. Trigonometry is essential to the study of Pre-Calculus and Calculus. Pre-req: Successful completion of Advanced Algebra or Algebra 2, or in second semester with concurrent enrollment in Advanced Algebra Statistics (0419) 10,11,12 .5 A study in distributions, probability, estimates, sampling, correlation, analysis of variance, and regression. This course is recommended for math/science as well as non math/science track students. Pre-req: Successful completion of Algebra 1 or Algebra Concepts Pre-Calculus (0443) 11,12 1 This course reviews in greater detail the concepts learned in Advanced Algebra, such as linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational and exponential functions. Other material covered includes the study of vectors, parametric equations, matrices, sequence and series, and an introduction to Calculus. Students will also be challenged to think more critically to better prepare them for the rigors of college mathematics and Calculus. Pre-req: Successful completion of Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry or successful completion of Advanced Algebra and first semester concurrent enrollment in Trigonometry. Pre-Calculus-A (0446) 11,12 1 This is an accelerated and rigorous course which reviews Advanced Algebra concepts specific to Calculus. Students will be challenged to think more critically and will cover in greater detail the fundamental concepts found in Calculus, such as limits and differentiation. Juniors planning to take AP Calculus in their senior year are encouraged to take Pre-Calculus A. Pre-req: Invitation of the Math Department or with Math Department approval. AP Calculus AB (0448) 12 1 A study of first year Calculus following the AP curriculum. Major topics include: limits, differentiation and integration. Successful completion of the course will allow students to take the Advanced Placement exam for Calculus AB. Pre-req: Successful completion of Pre-Calculus A or Pre-Calculus.
