Content: Algebra 1-2 is the foundation for high school mathematics. Topics include solving equations and inequalities, graphing relations and functions, solving systems of equations, polynomials, factoring, rational and radical expressions, and quadratic functions. Students who need extra support will be enrolled in sections with daily extended time (one and a half periods). This course is offered in the ELL Program in Spanish and Sheltered English instruction, depending on the student’s English level proficiency. (MASB00100, MASB00110, MAES00100, MAES00110)

Content: The students will be able to solve problem situations using geometric concepts. The overlying themes of this course will be: formulating conjectures and defending their validity, developing coordinate geometry concepts, and strengthening students’ use of visualization and estimation. The goal is to provide experiences that encourage and enable students to value mathematics, gain confidence in their own mathematical ability, and further encourage the students to continue the study of mathematics. Some students will be enrolled in sections that provide extra support. This course is offered in the ELL Program in Spanish and Sheltered English instruction, depending on the student’s English level proficiency. (MASB00900, MAES00900)

Content: This course is designed for students who have successfully completed 2 years of mathematics through Geometry. Algebra 1-2 topics are reviewed and enhanced. New topics include: conics, logarithms, functions, sequences and series, probability and statistics, matrices, and trigonometry. Problem-solving methods, a functional approach and real world applications using available technology are stressed. Students who successfully complete this course should be able to apply problem-solving techniques in further mathematical studies and in their daily lives. Some students will be enrolled in sections that provide extra support. This course is offered in the ELL Program in Spanish and Sheltered English instruction, depending on the student’s English level proficiency. (MASB00400, MAES00400)

Content: This course is designed to give a solid preparation in mathematics to the student who intends to continue study in mathematics. Analytical geometry and an introduction to calculus will be covered. Topics include triangles, trigonometric identities, functions and equations, polynomials, logarithms, exponential functions, complex numbers, permutations, combinations, and probability. Solution of systems of linear equations using metrics and determinants will be covered.

Content: The course consists of one semester each of discrete mathematics and statistics. Discrete math topics include set theory, logic, sequences, series, recursion and induction, matrices and combinatorics. Probability and statistics topics include organization of data, central tendencies, dispersion statistics, probability theory, normal distributions, hypothesis testing, sampling, correlation and regression and Chi-square distribution.

Content: This geometry curriculum integrates computer technology in the study of linear, plane, spatial geometry. It will prepare the student to use mathematics effectively in today's world. The student will obtain visual interpretation of arithmetic and algebra allowing for the development of higher level thinking skills. The goal is to provide experiences that encourage and enable students to value mathematics, gain confidence in their own mathematical ability, and further encourage the student to continue the study of mathematics. Prior to entering this course, students should display proficiency in factoring, quadratic form, solving equations, radical operations, and solving systems of linear equations.

Content: This course is designed for those students with above average ability who have a strong background in mathematics. The course consists of the basic topics of intermediate Algebra extending the topics of Algebra 1-2. Emphasis is on the function concept throughout the course. The course includes a study of the properties of elementary functions, linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, and logarithm functions. It also includes such topics as sequences and series, matrices, probability, complex numbers and trigonometry.

Content: A technology-intensive integrated mathematics course covering concepts of trigonometry, college algebra and analytical geometry. Topics may include trigonometric functions and their applications, algebraic functions, functions and limits, exponential and logarithmic functions, and vectors and linear transformation. This course provides an excellent preparation for calculus.

Content: Students will study the topics outlined by the College Board of Advanced Placement Statistics. These topics include probability theory, describing data using both visual and numeric methods, designing studies (experiments and surveys), and methods of inference including regression and significance testing. Appropriate technology will be incorporated when available. Summer work will likely be required of students, to be completed prior to the beginning of the course.

Content: Calculus AB is primarily concerned with developing students’ understanding of the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its methods and applications. The course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed geometrically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. The connections among these representations also are important. The focus of the course is application using manipulation and interpretation of functions, curves, theorems, and problem types. Technology will be used to reinforce the relationships among the multiple representations of functions, to confirm written work, to implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results. This course follows the guidelines outlined by the College Board for Calculus AB. Many colleges grant advanced placement based on individual student performance on the Advanced Placement Test. Summer work will likely be required of students, to be completed prior to the beginning of the course.

Content: An introduction to computer programming. Students will learn to write program code to solve problems. This course will also prepare students to take more advanced computer programming courses. This course does not count towards the three year math requirement.

Content: An advanced course in computer programming. Students will learn to write programs utilizing complex algorithms. Successful completion will help students prepare for the Advanced Placement Exam in computer science. This course does not count towards the three year math requirement.
