Algebra I
Tris: 2 | Open to: Freshmen, Sophomores | Prerequisites:
Algebra I focuses on building a strong foundation in algebraic concepts to prepare students for higher level math and real-world applications. The course focuses on teaching students to reason algebraically, understand patterns and relationships, and represent mathematical situations using symbols. Included in the course is an emphasis on foundational algebraic concepts like solving linear equations, inequalities, systems of equations, graphing, functions, polynomials and factoring, exponents, radicals, applications, and problem-solving.
Algebra II
Tris: 2 | Open to: Juniors | Prerequisites: Algebra I
Algebra II students are ready to learn: quadratic functions and applications; polynomial functions and applications; exponential and logarithmic functions and applications, rational and radical functions; probability, data analysis and statistics; and sequence and series.
AP Statistics
Tris: 3 | Open to: Juniors, Seniors | Prerequisites: Algebra II
AP Statistics introduces students to the major tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students explore concepts including variation and distribution; patterns and uncertainty; and data-based predictions, decisions, and conclusions. This course will include high level analysis alongside projects that explore real world application. Students should successfully complete Algebra 2, as well as a placement test, before entering AP Stat.
Geometry
Tris: 2 | Open to: Sophomores | Prerequisites: Algebra II
Students in this course will be learning geometric concepts including: area, perimeter, volume, triangle congruence, triangle similarity, trigonometric ratios, and proofs.
Introduction to Algebra
Tris: 1 | Open to: Freshmen | Prerequisites:
Introductory Algebra provides a comprehensive foundation in fundamental algebraic concepts. The course is designed to increase algebra fluency before entering Algebra 1, cover essential topics, and build a strong base for further mathematics study. Beyond just manipulating symbols, the curriculum emphasizes understanding the underlying concepts behind algebraic operations. Intro. to Algebra students are ready to learn concepts including expressions, solving linear equations, inequalities, and graphing functions.
