The
Mathematics Department recognizes the need to teach as Jesus did in all
areas of education, including mathematics. We accept students
where they are and bring them to the point where they can appreciate and
be proficient in the mathematics they will need in their careers and
personal lives. We strive to provide experiences that encourage
and enable students to "value mathematics, have confidence in their
mathematical ability, become mathematical problem solvers, and
communicate and reason mathematically". (NCTM Standards)

ALGEBRA 1, Part 1
This two-year course is for students who need more time to
cover the traditional Algebra 1 topics. It covers all subjects
from the Algebra 1 curriculum but at a slower pace.
|
| . |
ALGEBRA 1, Part 2
Continuation of Algebra 1, Part 1.
Prerequisite: Present teacher approval is necessary.
|
| . |
ALGEBRA 1
This course provides students with a logical understanding of the
real number system. It deals with the four operations on real
numbers and their use in solving equations, with polynomials, factoring,
fractions, inequalities, radicals, graphing, systems of linear equations
and functions.

HONORS ALGEBRA 1
This course reviews operations with real numbers. Topics include
solving equations, inequalities and systems of equation; graphing;
adding, subtracting, multiplying and factoring, polynomials;
simplifying, multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting rational
expressions; solving rational equations; simplifying, adding and
subtracting radicals. |

GEOMETRY
This course is designed with the average
mathematics student in
mind. Geometry deals with points, lines, planes, angles, triangles,
polygons, circles, areas, and volumes.
Prerequisites: Algebra 1
|
| . |
HONORS
GEOMETRY
While traditional plane and solid Euclidean geometry form the core
of this course, the course differs from the Geometry course by including
a survey of non-Euclidean geometries, such as graph theory, discrete,
and coordinate geometry. This course also approaches the
traditional topics from the viewpoint of transformational geometry,
where reflections, rotations, and translations provide the incentive for
congruence and similarity. Included in the course is an
introduction to the trigonometry of triangles.
|
| . |
ALGEBRA 2
Throughout this course the average student of mathematics should
develop a better understanding of algebraic concepts and skills. A
review of the essentials of Algebra 1 is first considered in this
course. The following topics are then studied: linear and
quadratic equations; inequalities and systems with related graphing;
rational, irrational and complex numbers; linear and quadratic
relations, functions and variations; and all types of factoring,
probability, and statistics.
Prerequisite: Geometry, Algebra 1 and present teacher approval.

HONORS
ALG 2 & TRIGONOMETRY
This course includes all topics in the Algebra 2 curriculum as well
as a complete study of trigonometry. Time is spent on circular
functions, identities, the trigonometry of triangles, and the inverse
functions as well as the graphs of the functions. TI83 PLUS calculator is
required.
Prerequisite: Honors Geometry, a qualifying grade in Honors
Algebra 1 and present teacher approval.
|
| . |
ADVANCED
PLACEMENT STATISTICS
The topics for this course are: exploratory analysis, planning a
study, probability and statistical inference. Important
components of the course include the use of technology, projects, group
problem solving and writing. Advanced Placement Test is a
requirement.
Prerequisite: Introduction
to Calculus or Honors Alg. 2/Trig
|
| . |
STATISTICS
Statistics deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation and
presentation of numerical data. It includes descriptive
statistics, probability, discrete and continuous distributions, methods
of sampling, and inferential statistics. This course is designed
to prepare a student for a college statistics course. TI83 PLUS
calculator is required.
Prerequisite: Present teacher approval is required.
|
| . |
COLLEGE PREP
MATH/TRIG
This course, designed for the college prep student, is preparation for a
college algebra course. It offers a brief review and a more
in-depth study of algebra topics as well as selected topics in
probability, statistics, data analysis, sequences and series, matrices,
linear programming and exponential and logarithmic functions. The
course also includes a study of the circular and trigonometric
functions, their graphs and applications of these functions.
Prerequisite: Algebra 2 and present teacher approval.
|
| . |
HONORS INTRO TO
CALCULUS
This pre-calculus course includes analytic geometry, function
theory, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions, vectors,
determinants, and topics in probability and statistics.
Prerequisite: Algebra 2 & Trigonometry and present teacher
approval.
|
| . |
ADVANCED PLACEMENT
CALCULUS
This advanced placement course includes the major theorems of
differential and integral calculus, a consideration of continuity, and
the calculus techniques necessary for solving extreme value, related
rate, area, volume, and surface area problems involving algebraic,
trigonometric, and exponential functions. The course covers work
in the first semester and a half of college calculus.
Prerequisite: Introduction to Calculus and present teacher
approval.
