4500 TRANSITION MATHEMATICS
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course is designed to help students make the transition from arithmetic to algebra while developing problem-solving skills. It is strongly recommended that a student who receives a "D" in Transition Math in the middle school should repeat this course.
Prerequisite: NONE
Grades Taught: 9, 10, 11, 12
4505 PRE-ALGEBRA
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course provides an introduction to algebra, probability, and statistics, with a strong emphasis on data analysis.
Prerequisite: Transition Math
Grades Taught: 9, 10, 11, 12
4510 ALGEBRA
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course emphasizes the manipulative techniques and logical structure of algebra, with strong attention to using algebra to represent and solve real-world problems.
Prerequisite: C- or better in Pre-Algebra
Grades Taught: 9, 10, 11, 12
4520 GEOMETRY
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course integrates coordinate and transformational geometry with strong attention to measurement formulas and three-dimensional figures. Logical reasoning and concept of proofs are also developed.
Prerequisite: Grade of C- or above in Algebra
Grades Taught: 9, 10, 11, 12
4530 ADVANCED ALGEBRA
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course emphasizes facility with algebraic expressions, especially linear and quadratic forms, powers, and roots. Students study logarithmic, trigonometric, polynomial, and other special functions for both their abstract properties and as tools for modeling real-work situations.
Prerequisite: Algebra, grade of C- or better
Grades Taught: 10, 11, 12

4540 FUNCTIONS, STATISTICS, AND TRIGONOMETRY (FST)
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course integrates exponential, logarithmic, and polynomial functions from both an algebraic and a statistical basis. The study of trigonometry includes trigonometric ratios, identities, and circular functions. Computers are used in plotting functions, analyzing data, and mathematical modeling.
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra, grade of C- or better
Grades Taught: 10, 11, 12
4550 PRE-CALCULUS
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course integrates advanced work with functions and trigonometry and provides an introduction to limits and other calculus ideas. The study of discrete mathematics includes number systems, combinatory, and recursion. Mathematical thinking, formal logic, and proofs are included throughout.
Prerequisite: Functions, Statistics and Trigonometry, grade of C- or better
Grades Taught: 11, 12 ONLY
4555 ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS
(1 Unit of Credit)
Calculus involves the study of the derivatives of a function (geometric interpretation and analytic definition) and it’s applications; linear approximation; limits and continuity; critical points and max/min problems; mean value theorem; second derivative; definite integral and its applications; the fundamental theorem of calculus, indefinite integrals, and area between curves in order to prepare students for the Advanced Placement test or for Calculus II.
Prerequisite: 3.00 G.P.A.
Grades Taught: 11, 12
4570 CONSUMER MATH
(1 Unit of Credit)
This course will involve a consumer approach to analyzing data. Students will learn to read and interpret charts and graphs; use simulation and sampling techniques; collect, display and analyze data; and use data to make consumer decisions.
Prerequisite: None (Must be approved by counseling department)
Grades Taught: 12 only
