High School Mathematics

MTH100 - Pre-Algebra
Prerequisites: 6th or 7th Grade Math and Teacher approval, based on test score.
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 9-12
In this course, students will make the transition from general math to algebra. They will learn to work with equations and inequalities, proportions and percents, integers, linear functions, and graphing. They will also learn how to handle data, probability, and plane geometry. (Text: Holt-Pre-Algebra)
MTH101 - Algebra I
Prerequisites: Pre-Algebra
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 8,9
In this course, students will be introduced to variables, translation and solving problems, real numbers, polynomials, factoring, fractions, functions, linear equations, inequalities, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. Students will be given the framework for abstract and deductive reasoning and demonstrate this by applying concepts to situations. Students will be introduced to TI-83 graphic calculator (Text: Algebra 1 by Holt).
MTH201 - Geometry
Prerequisites: Algebra I
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 9,10
This course is designed to provide a general knowledge of geometric terms, develop geometric skills and apply these concepts in other situations. It is a study of points, lines, planes, angles, polygons, circles, and polyhedron with an emphasis on triangles, area and volume. The study of geometry improves logical reasoning skills. This is the first course where students are required to develop mathematics by proofs. (Text: McDougal/Littell's Geometry)
MTH301 - Algebra II
Prerequisites: Algebra I and Geometry
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 10,11
In this course, students will review concepts from Algebra I and will deal with linear equations and functions, products and factors of polynomials, rational expressions, irrational and complex numbers, quadratic equations and functions, variation and polynomial equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, and matrices and determinants. Selected topics in geometry, trigonometry, and statistics will also be discussed. The students will use the TI-83 graphic calculator to enhance their learning. (Text: Holt's Algebra II)
MTH302 - Business Math
Prerequisites:
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 11-12
MTH401 - Algebra III/Trigonometry
Prerequisites: Algebra II and Geometry
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 11,12
The students will be introduced to various topics from analytical geometry, trigonometry, and advanced concepts of algebra. There is a continual use of the TI-83 graphic calculator to study mathematical models. This study becomes an excellent preparation for the later study of Pre-Calculus. (Text: Saxon's Geometry-Trigonometry-Algebra III)
MTH402 - Pre-Calculus
Prerequisites: Algebra I & II and Geometry
Periods per week: 5Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 11,12
Students will explore the concepts that are a central role in Calculus. They will study functions, and will learn trigonometric graphs, equations, identities, and proofs. The TI-83 graphic calculator will be used extensively throughout the course in the study of functions and their behavior. (Holt Pre-Calculus by Thomas Hungerford)
MTH403 - A.P. Calculus
Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus
Periods per week: 8Credit: 1.0Grade(s): 11,12
Students will further their studies of fundamentals learned in previous studies and develop the concepts of limit, derivative, and integration. The TI-83 graphic calculator will be used extensively throughout the course to reinforce the calculus concepts and to model specific calculus problems. Note: Students who take the AP Calculus course are required to take the AP Exam. Cost for taking the AP Exam is approximately $78. (Text: Venture Publ.
