Mathematics

Advanced Algebra/Trigonometry

Teacher approval

Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry is an advanced mathematics course that extends algebraic concepts and applications and that develops trigonometric functions and applications. Through meaningful problems and appropriate technologies, students will study a variety, radical, rational, polynomial, exponential, circular and logarithmic functions. (1 Credit)

Algebra 1

Teacher approval

Algebra I use problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to extend algebraic thinking and engage student reasoning. Problem solving situation will provide all students an environment that promotes communication and fosters connections within mathematics, to other disciplines and to the real world. Students will use physical modes to represent, explore, and develop abstract concepts. The use of appropriate technology will help students apply mathematics in an increasingly technological world. The concepts emphasized in the course include functions, solving equations, and slope as rates of change, and proportionality. (1 Credit)

Algebra 2

Teacher Approval

Algebra II is a course that uses problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to extend algebraic thinking and engage student reasoning. Problem-solving situations will provide all students an environment that promotes communication and fosters connections within mathematics, to other disciplines, and to the real world. Students will use physical models to represent, explore, and develop abstract concepts. The use of appropriate technology will help students apply mathematics in an increasingly technological world. The concepts emphasized in the course include analysis of “family of functions,” solving systems of equations, graphing, data analysis, and logarithmic and exponential functions. (1 Credit)

Calculus

Teacher approval

Calculus is an advanced mathematics course that uses meaningful problems and appropriate technologies to develop concepts and applications related to continuity and discontinuity of functions and differentiation and integration.

Students will expand the concept of functions to include the analysis and interpretation of both continuous and discontinuous functions in problem situations and the development of the concept of limit. (1 Credit)

Foundations 1

Teacher approval

Through the investigation of meaningful problems individually or in cooperative groups, while using appropriate technology, students will strengthen their foundations of mathematics. Students will prepare for success in future mathematics courses by building content knowledge to meet standards in number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability. The processes of problem solving, reasoning, communication, connections, and representation are interwoven throughout the content standards. (1 Credit)

Foundations 2

Teacher approval

Students will use problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to investigate concepts and topics that prepare them for higher level mathematics. Problem-solving situations will within mathematics, to other disciplines, and to the real world. Students will use physical models to represent, explore, and develop abstract concepts. The use of appropriate technology will help students apply mathematics in an increasingly technological world. (1 Credit)

Geometry

Teacher approval

Uses problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to investigate and justify geometric concepts and relationships. Problem-solving situations provide all students an environment that promotes communications, engages student reasoning, and fosters connections within mathematics, to other disciplines, and to the real world. Students will use physical models to represent, explore, develop, and apply abstract concepts. The use of appropriate technology will help students develop mathematics needed in a increasingly technological world. The concepts and topics emphasized in the course include measurement, geometric patterns, coordinate geometry, two-and three-dimensional figures, transformational geometry, congruence, similarity, inductive and deductive reasoning, logic, and proof. (1 Credit)

Pre-Calculus

Teacher approval

Pre-calculus is an advanced mathematics course that uses meaningful problems and appropriate technologies to build upon previously learned mathematical concepts to develop the understandings of calculus. (1 Credit)
