Algebra 1 Credit

Develops basic skills needed in algebra, including solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, factoring, operations with fractions, systems of linear equations in two variables, rational and irrational numbers, and functions and their graphs. In addition, opportunity is given to apply these skills to varied problem situations.

NOTE: 120 hour Credit course that meets from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. each day.

Algebra I Credit Syllabus

Algebra 2 Credit

Following a review of the algebra skills learned in Algebra I, this course includes the study of rational, irrational, and complex numbers; quadratic equations, conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences, series, binomial expansion, and matrices and determinants.

Geometry Credit Syllabus

A course that "brings together ALL the concepts of mathematics a student has learned throughout their schooling...and lays the foundation for a new type of math...allows them to describe and understand the behavior of functions, and as a result, any real-world phenomena that those functions represent."  This is a Survey course in calculus taught by an experienced teacher, covering as many topics as time and students' abilities permit.  Graphing calculator is required.

Calclulus AB Credit Syllabus

Provides a review and extends the major topics of Algebra II, with a thorough foundation in the concepts of Trigonometry and introduces the Calculus topic of limits. Graphing calculator is encouraged.

Precalculus Credit Syllabus

A thorough class to cover all topics required in Algebra I including solving linear equations and inequalities, solving systems of equations and systems of inequalities, factoring, operations with rational functions, solving and graphing quadratic functions, and solving rational equations. Students will leave the class with a knowledge of how to represent linear, quadratic, absolute value functions graphically, as well as to solve and simplify each type of equation, and apply these concepts to real-life problems.

Note: 150 hour credit course meets from 8:00 am to 2:15 pm each day (45 minute break for lunch). Lunch is included in the cost of this course.

This course encompasses all required college preparatory concepts of Algebra II. Moving at a very fast pace, only successful honors level math students should take this intensive and rigorous course. Mathematical concepts are often introduced at a more abstract and theoretical level. Geometric proofs are included throughout the course to improve the student's understanding and logical thought process.
