Math
All Courses Are Yearlong
Algebra I
Prerequisite: Introductory or Pre-Algebra
Algebra I builds students' command of linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships. Students learn through discovery and application, developing the skills they need to break down complex challenges and demonstrate their knowledge in new situations.
Algebra II
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Algebra II introduces students to advanced functions, with a focus on developing a strong conceptual grasp of the expressions that define those functions. Students learn through discovery and application, developing the skills they need to break down complex challenges and demonstrate their knowledge in new situations.
Precalculus
Prerequisite: Two years of Algebra and Geometry
Precalculus is a course that combines reviews of algebra, geometry, and functions into a preparatory course for calculus. The course focuses on the mastery of critical skills and exposure to new skills necessary for success in subsequent math courses.
Probability and Statistics
Prerequisite: Algebra
Probability and Statistics provides a curriculum focused on understanding key data analysis and probabilistic concepts, calculations, and relevance to real-world applications. Students are challenged to work toward mastery of computational skills, apply calculators and other technology in data analysis, deepen their understanding of key ideas and solution strategies, and extend their knowledge through a variety of problem-solving applications.
Financial Literacy
Prerequisite: Introductory Algebra
Financial Literacy helps students recognize and develop vital skills that connect life and career goals with personalized strategies and milestone-based action plans. Students explore concepts and work toward a mastery of personal finance skills, deepening their understanding of key ideas and extending their knowledge through a variety of problem-solving applications.
AP® Calculus AB
Prerequisite: Algebra II, Geometry, Precalculus with Trigonometry
In AP Calculus AB, students learn to understand change geometrically and visually (by studying graphs of curves), analytically (by studying and working with mathematical formulas), numerically (by seeing patterns in sets of numbers), and verbally. Instead of simply getting the right answer, students learn to evaluate the soundness of proposed solutions and to apply mathematical reasoning to real-world models.
AP® Calculus BC
Prerequisite: Algebra II, Geometry, Precalculus with Trigonometry
AP® Calculus BC builds upon prior knowledge in previous mathematics course work. Students will explore topics within the three big ideas covered in the course: (1) Change, (2) Limits, and (3) Analysis of Functions. This course allows students to gain conceptual understanding through discussions, group activities and investigations. Students will learn how to use the graphing calculator to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. In order to prepare for the exam, students will complete weekly AP® practice quizzes and unit exams that will conform to the constraints of the AP® exam.
AP® Statistics
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Advanced Placement Statistics gives students hands-on experience collecting, analyzing, graphing, and interpreting real-world data. They will learn to effectively design and analyze research studies by reviewing and evaluating real world examples.
