Intermediate Math
Text: Glencoe mathematics: Applications and Connections Course 3, Glencoe. McGraw Hill, 2001.
This final review of basic math skills prepares students for pre-algebra. Students will review operations with decimals, fractions, and integers, solve many types of equations and inequalities, work with ratios and percents, and study basic areas of geometry.
Pre-Algebra
Text: Glencoe Pre-Algebra: An Integrated Transition to Algebra & Geometry, Glencoe/McGraw Hill 2001.
As an introduction to algebraic functions, this course will have students work with rational numbers, solve equations and inequalities, and understand graphs, least common multiples, order of operations, reciprocals and multiplication rules. They will also explore ratio and percent, scientific notation, surface area and proportions.
Algebra I
Text: Glencoe Algebra I: Integration, Applications, Connections, Glencoe/McGraw Hill 2001.
At this college prep level math, students will solve systems of equations, work with and apply rational numbers, explore inequalities and polynomials, factor polynomials, graph linear equations, and simplify radical expressions. Students will perform a mastery of each concept throughout the year.
Geometry
Text: Glencoe Geometry Integration Applications Connections, Glencoe/ McGraw Hill 1998.
After successfully completing Algebra I, students in geometry will perform basic proofs and constructions, will explore area, volume and advanced geometrics. They will also compare deductive and inductive logical arguments.
Algebra 2 (Pre-requisite: “C” or better in Algebra 1)
Text: Glencoe Algebra 2: Integration Applications Connections, Glencoe/ McGraw Hill 1998.
Students at this level will perform mastery in solving equations and inequalities, linear relations and functions, matrices, polynomials, irrational and complex numbers, quadratic relations and function conics, exponential and logarithmic functions. They will also address statistics, probability and trigonometric functions.
Pre-Calculus (Pre-requisite: “C” or better in Algebra 2)
Text: Pre Calculus with Limits: A Graphing Approach, Houghton Mifflin Co. 2001.
This advanced level will expand on solving systems of equations and inequalities, the nature of graphs, polynomial and rational functions, graphs and inverses of the trigonometric functions, vectors and parametric equations, polar coordinates, and exponential and logarithmic functions. Analytic geometry in two and three dimensions is surveyed as one. Limits and an introduction to calculus are also covered.
Calculus AB and BC
Text: Calculus I with Pre-Calculus, Houghton Mifflin Company, 2002.
This college level math class takes students to a more sophisticated level where they will learn limits, derivatives, antiderivatives (integration), exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, systems of equations, and analytic geometry.
