ALGEBRA I
Grade 9--Two Semesters
The purpose of this class is to develop the real number system. The class is characterized by the use of variables and operations relating these variables.
Credit: 1
Prerequisite: None
ALGEBRA II
Grades 10-12--Two Semesters
The purpose of this class is to complete the development of the real number system, which was begun in Algebra I. The first semester will consist of a more intense exploration of concepts learned in Algebra I. During the second semester, the focus will be on extending the concepts learned in the first semester while introducing nonlinear equations, trigonometry, logarithms, probability and statistics, and the complex number system.

Prerequisite: Algebra I
GEOMETRY
Grades 10-12--Two Semesters
This class will focus on the study of the plane geometry system while reviewing concepts learned in Algebra I. During the last nine weeks, Algebra I concepts will be extended as the real number system is developed further.
Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Algebra I
TECHNICAL ALGEBRA I
Grades 11 - 12--Two semesters
This course includes material that focuses on arithmetic operations, problem-solving techniques, estimation of answers, measurement skills, geometry, data handling, simple statistics, and the use of algebraic formulas to solve problems. The emphasis of the course is on the ability to understand and apply functional mathematics to solve problems that students might encounter in the work place. The course will employ the use of video, print, hands-on laboratories and practical problem-solving activities.

Prerequisite: Algebra I
TECHNICAL ALGEBRA II
Grades 11 - 12--Two semesters
This course is a continuation of Technical Algebra I. It will include work on basic algebra skills, geometry, and an introduction to trigonometry. The course will employ the use of video, hands-on laboratories, and practical problem-solving activities.
Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Technical Algebra I or permission of the instructor
ADVANCED BUSINESS MATH
Grades 12--Two semesters
This class is designed for students who need one more year of mathematics, but do not want to take Algebra II, Trigonometry, or Calculus. The students will review arithmetic fundamentals that have been previously studied. Throughout the course of study, students use their skills to solve a variety of business problems that demonstrate how widely arithmetic is used in the business world. The range of topics covered also provides students with a broad introduction to the business content and terminology that they will study in greater detail in advanced business classes.
Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Algebra I
TRIGONOMETRY/PRE-CALCULUS
Grades 11-12--Two semesters
Trigonometry is the study of angles, triangles, circular function, and their relationships. Topics covered are: radian and degree measure, trigonometric functions of a circle and a triangle, identities, polar coordinates, and complex numbers. Pre-calculus students will study various topics such as: functions, coordinate geometry, logarithms, probability, statistics, and an introduction to the calculus.
Credit: 1
Prerequisite: Algebra II
CALCULUS
Grades 11-12--Two semesters
The study of calculus has been a core subject area of science and engineering for many years and is now included as an important topic in many other disciplines. The students will study differential and integral calculus.
Credit: 1
Prerequisites: Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus
MATH SURVEY
Grade 12--One semester
This class serves as a review of algebra topics as well as an introduction to other topics. These other topics include: probability, statistics, and the calculator-based laboratory.
