| Pre- Algebra. (MTH 100) Prerequisite:Instructor Recommendation Credits: 1.00 Grades: 9-10 |
This course is intended for the below-average math student, and will present all important concepts and skills to prepare students for success in a high school Algebra course. Topics include operations on integers and fractions; exponents and powers; ratios, proportions, and percents; and solving linear equations and inequalities. This course does not meet the algebra requirement for graduation. | Top | |
| Basic Algebra, (MTH101) Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra and/or Instructor Recommendation Credits: 1.00 Grades: 9-11 |
This course is intended for the below-average math student, and will cover the basics of Algebra while developing the concepts necessary for post-secondary opportunities, but at a less rigorous level than the standard Algebra course. Successful completion of this course satisfies the algebra requirement for graduation. | Top | |
| Algebra, (MTH102) Prerequisites: Instructor Recommendation Credits: 1.00 Grades: 9-11 |
This course is intended for the average math student, and focuses on solving linear equations and inequalities, linear functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, quadratic equations, and polynomials. Geometry, probability, and statistics are integrated throughout the course. Successful completion of this course satisfies the algebra requirement for graduation. | Top | |
| Honors Algebra*, (MTH103) Prerequisites: Instructor Recommendation Credits: 1.00 Grades: 9 |
This course covers much of the content of a regular Algebra course, plus additional topics. Material will be covered in depth in a more conceptual manner, and at a more rigorous pace than a regular Algebra course. Successful completion of this course satisfies the algebra requirement for graduation. This course is recommended for a students that plan on taking AP Statistics. | Top | |
| Basic Geometry, (MTH201) Prerequisite: Basic Algebra or Algebra with Instructor Recommendation Credits: 1.00 Grades:10-12 |
This course is intended for the below-average math student, and will cover the basics of geometry using non-proof applications, but at a less rigorous level than the standard Geometry course. This course will not meet the requirement for admission to a 4-year college and is intended for students with career goals in vocational areas in which a basis in Geometry will be necessary. Successful completion of this course satisfies the geometry requirement for graduation. | Top | |
| Geometry, (MTH202) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra, Basic Algebra (with instructor recommendation) or Fundamental of Algebra–Year 2 (with instructor recommendation) Credit: 1.00 Grades: 9-12 |
This course is intended for the average to above-average math student, and focuses on inductive and deductive reasoning, parallel and perpendicular lines, congruence and properties of triangles, quadrilaterals and polygons, similarity, right triangles, and circles. Proof, as well as coordinate and transformational methods, are integrated into the course. Successful completion of the course satisfies the geometry requirement for graduation. | Top | |
| Honors Geometry*, (MTH203) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra or instructor recommendation Credit: 1.00 Grades: 9-10 |
This course is intended for the above-average math student, and covers much of the content of regular Geometry course, plus additional topics. The use of proof will be emphasized, and material will be covered in depth, in a more conceptual manner and at a more rigorous pace than regular Geometry. Successful completion of this course satisfies the geometry requirement for graduation. This course is recommended for students that plan on taking AP Calculus. | Top | |
| Consumer Mathematics, (MTH300) Prerequisite: None Credits: 0.50 Grades:11-12 |
This non-college prep course, intended for students that need their third math credit, is designed to help prepare students to enter their roles as consumers. Math will be made relevant by showing how it is used in the world. It includes taxes, interest, installment buying, checking accounts, banking and everyday buying situations. Students that have successfully completed Advanced Algebra may not enroll in Consumer Mathematics. | Top | |
| Advanced Algebra, (MTH301) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Geometry or Honors Geometry Credit: 1.00 Grades: 10-12 |
This college-prep course is intended for the average to above-average math student, and focuses on linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and radical functions, their abstract properties and their use for modeling real world situations. Other topics include linear systems and matrices. |

This college-prep course will include a review of analytic geometry and functions, giving special emphasis to the different forms of notations and definitions. There will also be practice work I the various techniques of differentiation along with applied maximum-minimum problems. This course will prepare students for a first semester Calculus I course in college. | Top | |
| AP Calculus*, (MTH502) Prerequisite Successful completion of Honors Pre-Calculus or Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry Credit: 1.00 Grades: 12 |
This is a college-level course equivalent to a first semester Calculus I course, covering the major topics of limits, derivatives, and integrals, as well as other topics specified in The College Board Advanced Placement AP Calculus Course Description. It has a rigorous college level curriculum that is paced to prepare students for the AP Calculus AB Exam given in May. Students who score high enough on the AP exam in the spring can earn college credit and/or advanced placement at the college they attend in the fall. | Top | |
| AP Statistics*, (MTH502) Prerequisite Successful completion of Advanced Algebra or Honors Advanced Algebra Credit: 1.00 Grades:11-12 |
This is a college-level course intended for students that intend to study in a science, social science, or business-related field in college. AP Statistics introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. Students who successfully complete the course and the AP Statistics examination in May may receive credit, advanced placement, or both for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. AP Statistics may be taken concurrently with a precalculus course. Students with the proper mathematical background are encouraged to take both AP Statistics and AP Calculus | Top | |
