Class: Algebra I Course Number: 1803A & 1803B Credit: 1.0 Grade Level: 9-12 Recommended Prerequisite(s): None Weighted: No Algebra I is the foundation for mathematical reasoning. Strategies and skills learned in Algebra I are transferred to nearly every other content area and are used in everyday life. The course is designed to use inquiry based strategies to help build conceptual understanding, vocabulary, and to help students most effectively explain their reasoning. Key concepts include solving and graphing linear equations, functions with exponents, polynomial and quadratic functions, and statistics. Students will be asked to discover and apply formulas to solve for unknowns and develop problem solving ability. Class: Honors Algebra II Course Number: 1805A & 1805B Credit: 1.0 Grade Level: 9-12 Recommended Prerequisite(s): Geometry Honors or consent of instructor Weighted: No Honors Algebra II is a rigorous, fast-paced course that includes a more in-depth study of Algebra II, including the solutions of equations, inequalities, and systems. An emphasis is placed upon understanding relations and functions, including quadratic functions, polynomial functions, radical functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions and rational functions. Also, inferential statistics are introduced.
Class: Algebra II Course Number: 1804A & 1804B Credit: 1.0 Grade Level: 9-12 Recommended Prerequisite(s): Algebra I Weighted: No Algebra II is a continuation of Algebra I, including the solutions of equations, inequalities, and systems. An emphasis is placed upon understanding relations and functions, including quadratic functions, polynomial functions, radical functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions and rational functions. Also, inferential statistics are introduced.
Class: AP AB Calculus Course Number: 1860A & 1860B Credit: 1.0 Grade Level: 10-12 Recommended Prerequisite(s): Precalculus, Honors Precalculus Weighted: Yes AP Calculus AB is an introductory college-level calculus course. Students cultivate their understanding of differential and integral calculus through engaging with real-world problems represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and using definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions as they explore concepts like change, limits, and the analysis of functions. Technology will be used by students and teachers 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 is equivalent to a one-semester college calculus course. Students will learn about limits, continuity, derivatives, and integrals. All students in this course are strongly encouraged to take the Advanced Placement exam in May. A TI-84 or TI-89 graphing calculator is required. *AB Calculus students may earn 4 or 5 credits which may be counted towards majors requiring calculus.
