MATHEMATICS

2008-2009

 

1800     INTEGRATED MATH I

Grades 9-10               

Year Course    1.00 Credit                 

 

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

 

Topics required for success in Algebra will be the emphasis of this course.  Topics include: operations with signed numbers, fractions and percents, equations solving, proportional reasoning, real numbers, geometry and measurement, graphs of linear equations and inequalities, and polynomials.

 

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 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 10-12                                                             Prerequisite:   Algebra I,

Year Course    1.00 Credit                                                                  Geometry

                                                                                              (taken before or concurrently)

                                                                               

The first twelve weeks of Algebra II will be a basic review of the concepts and operations of Algebra I.  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 9-12                                                                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)       beginning with the 08-09 School Year or

                                                                                    “A” or “B” in Analytical Math at the end of

                                                                                    the 07-08 School Year

 

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 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 1st half of Algebra I.

 

 

1816    APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Grade 12                                                                     (For Non-College Bound Students)

Year Course    1.00 Credit                                                  Teacher Approval Only

Workbook $ __________                                                   

Class Book  $_________      

 

This course is for students who are non-college bound seniors who have failed a previous math course and is not accepted by colleges or universities.  This course is intended to review basic arithmetic concepts, fractional operations, ratio and percent problems, simple geometry concepts, and life applications of mathematical concepts.
