Extended Algebra is a course for students who need extra help and time to be successful in math. This course includes operations with positive and negative numbers, solving multi-step equations, graphing linear and quadratic equations, and solving applied word problems. Extended Algebra requires a two-year algebra commitment. Learning demonstrations will include tests, homework, class participation, and projects. (Need prior approval from counselor to register for this class.) |
First year algebra includes working with problems that involve ratios, solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations, and solving systems of equations. A scientific calculator is required. Learning demonstrations include: homework, class participation, quizzes, tests, and projects. Honors coursework is available. |
Second year Algebra builds on the concepts learned in Algebra I. Students will study linear, quadratic, logarithmic and trigonometric functions; inequalities, absolute value, real and imaginary numbers. A graphing calculator is required. Assessments include: homework, tests, quizzes, class participation, projects and teacher observation. Honors coursework is available. |
Power Algebra is a course for students who need extra help and time to be successful in math. This course includes operations with positive and negative numbers, order of operations, fractions, solving single-step equations, and solving applied word problems. Power Algebra is a one-semester class designed to help prepare students for entry into Algebra 1 and is taken concurrently with Algebra. (Approval |
Geometry provides a base knowledge for additional courses in mathematics, science, and vocational education. The areas of study include plane figures, such as lines, circles, and triangles. Three-dimensional concepts such as volume and surface area are also studied. A scientific calculator, protractor and compass are required. Learning demonstrations will include: tests, quizzes, homework, class participation, and projects. Honors course work is available. |
Math Analysis is an introduction to further math study. Topics addressed are trigonometric functions, probability and statistics, advanced algebra and analytical geometry. A TI-83(or better) graphing calculator is required. Assessments include: tests, quizzes, homework, projects, class participation and teacher observations. Honors coursework is available. |
Successful upper-level math students will serve as peer tutors in math classes. Responsibilities may include working one-on-one with students, answering questions during work time, and assisting the teacher as needed. This class is especially appropriate for students who are considering a career in teaching. Learning will be assessed by students working successfully with other students. |
