MATHEMATICS

2010-2011

1800 INTEGRATED MATH I

Grades 9

Year Course 1.00 Credit

Required Supplies: 3-Ring Notebook and Calculator

Students who earned a “C” or lower in 8^th grade Math or are recommended by their math teacher should be in this class.

The language of Algebra and Geometry will be learned through the application of various properties, rules, and laws. Topics include: solving more complex equations, graphing linear equations and functions, writing linear equations, solving and graphing linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, quadratic equations, and polynomials and factoring.

This is a slower paced Algebra I class and covers the 1^st half of Algebra I.

1802 ALGEBRA I

Grades 9-11

Year Course 1.00 Credit

Students that earned an “A” or “B” in Eighth Grade Math or Integrated Math I or were recommended by the math teacher should be in this class. It is recommended that if a grade below “B” was achieved in Algebra I in 8th grade that Algebra I be retaken in high school.

The language of Algebra and Geometry will be learned through the application of various properties, rules, and laws. Topics include: solving more complex equations, graphing linear equations and functions, writing linear equations, solving and graphing linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, quadratic equations, and polynomials and factoring.

1803 ALGEBRA II

Grades 09-12 Prerequisite: Algebra I,

Year Course 1.00 Credit

The first nine weeks of Algebra II will be a basic review of the concepts and operations of Algebra I and Geometry. Following will be a graphic and algebraic understanding of difference types of relations and functions (order pairs, linear, quadratic). Equalities and inequalities will be discussed during this time. Rational expressions and operations with irrational and complex numbers are discussed. Quadratic equations, functions and graphs will finish the year. A 3-ring notebook and calculator are required. Grade based on tests, quizzes, homework and class participation.

1805 GEOMETRY

Grades 10-12 Prerequisite: Algebra I

Year Course 1.00 Credit

Geometry is the investigation of relationships, properties, and theorems of points, lines, planes, and two and three dimensional figures. Topics include: reasoning and proof, perpendicular and parallel lines, congruent triangles, properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, transformation, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, circles, area of polygons and circles, and surface area and volume.

1808 CALCULUS

Grade 12 Prerequisite: “A” or “B” in Advanced Math

Year Course 1.00 Credit (Weighted Course)

The student who successfully completes the course will, as a minimum, have sufficient background for the most rigorous college mathematics curriculum and will, at some institutions, be placed into advanced mathematics courses.

Calculus makes extensive use of algebra and geometry, including the idea of functions to which is added the notion of the limit and limiting processes. From this arise the two central concepts of calculus: the derivative and the integral. The derivative can be thought of as a rate of change or slope and the integral as an area. Aside from its importance in pure mathematics, the logical thinking that it motivates, and the purely aesthetic quality of the discipline, calculus finds extensive application in physics, engineering, economics and biology.

1815 INTEGRATED MATH II Prerequisite: Integrated Math I

Grades 10-11

Year Course 1.00 Credit

The language of Algebra and Geometry will be learned through the application of various properties, rules, and laws. Topics include: solving more complex equations, graphing linear equations and functions, writing linear equations, solving and graphing linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, quadratic equations, and polynomials and factoring.

This is a slower paced Algebra I class and covers the 2^nd half of Algebra I.

1824 INTEGRATED MATH III

Grades 10-12 Prerequisite: Integrated Math II or

Year Course 1.00 Credit Algebra I

The language of Algebra and Geometry will be learned through the application of various properties, rules, and laws. Topics include: solving more complex equations, graphing linear equations and functions, writing linear equations, solving and graphing linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, quadratic equations, and polynomials and factoring.

This is a slower paced Algebra II class and covers the 1^st half of Algebra II.

1825 ADVANCED MATH

Grades 11-12 Prerequisite: “A” or “B” in Algebra II

Year Course 1.00 Credit

A study of variation and polynomial equations, analytical geometry, exponential and log functions, sequences and series and trigonometry. Prerequisite includes passing Algebra II, with at least a ‘B’ average and possessing solid work and serious study habits. A notebook and calculator is required. Grade based on tests, quizzes, homework and class participation.

1826 INTEGRATED MATH IV

Grade 11-12 Prerequisite: Algebra I or

Year Course 1.00 Credit Integrated Math III

The first semester of Integrated Math IV will be a basic review of the concepts and operations of Algebra I and Geometry.

Following will be a graphic and algebraic understanding of difference types of relations and functions (order pairs, linear, quadratic). Equalities and inequalities will be discussed during this time. Rational expressions and operations with irrational and complex numbers are discussed. Quadratic equations, functions and graphs will finish the year. A 3-ring notebook and calculator are required. Grade based on tests, quizzes, homework and class participation.
