General Math - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
General math gives students a review of basic math skills. Emphasis is on a survey of general math and also provides experiences
with math activities of everyday life. These activities include practice in computation with whole numbers, common fractions,
decimals, and percentage. This course is primarily intended for freshmen.
Consumer Math - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
This course is designed for students who have a grasp of math computation and want to learn to apply these skills to consumer
situations. First semester topics include earning money, buying food, shopping for clothes, managing a household, buying
and maintaining a car, and working with food. Second semester topics include improving your home, traveling, budgeting, banking
and investing, and taxes.
Pre Algebra - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
Designed to help students make the transition from mathematics to algebra. Topics covered include solving one-variable equations,
integers, formulas, polynomials, factoring, graphing, functions, systems of equations, fractional equations, exponents, radicals,
and quadratic equations.
Basic Geometry - 1 credit per semester toward graduation.
Designed for students wanting to take a geometry course but have not had Advanced Algebra. Topics covered
include lines, segments, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles. Concepts of parallelism, perpendicularity, congruence,
similarity, proportion. Perimeter, area, volume of plane and solid figures, Pythagorean Theorem, trig ratios, and construction.
Prerequisite: Pre Algebra.
Geometry - 1 credit per semester toward graduation.
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with lines, points, angles, polygons, circles, and other
geometric figures. Many of the ideas about these geometric figures are proved true; some are proved to be false.
Geometry is training in simple logic and good thinking habits. Appreciation of geometric design and application of true
geometric ideas are essential parts of the course. Geometry is strongly recommended for students planning to pursue
college and especially for aspiring engineers, surveyors, foresters, artists, navigators, architects, mechanics, etc.
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra
Modern Algebra - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
During the year in algebra, addition, subtraction, division and multiplication of integers and literal terms are stressed.
Graphs, formulas, linear equations, fractions, and factoring are important topics. Constants, variables, monomials, exponents,
coefficients, binomials, trinomials, and polynomials are terms which are learned. Modern algebra is strongly recommended for
students aspiring to pursue those programs laden with theory-oriented mathematical knowledge: engineers, surveyors, navigators,
architects, etc. No prerequisite.
Advanced Algebra - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
This course represents the second year of the college-bound math sequence and gives a more in-depth study of this important
segment of mathematics. It is a college preparation course. Special emphasis is placed on the techniques of problem solving,
besides the usual techniques of handling such topics as exponents, quadratics, systems of equations, irrational and complex
numbers, graphs, and some logarithms. Both right and oblique triangles are studies as well as the laws of sines and cosines.
Prerequisite: Modern AIgebra.
Statistics & Probability - 1 credit toward graduation
This is a course designed for those students wanting math beyond Advanced Algebra but not planning to
take Calculus in college. It is geared more toward the students who are going into one of the Social Science fields,
or into education. It continues to build on the foundation of Advanced Algebra. Topics include descriptive
statistics, numerical data analysis, probability, discrete probability distributions, normal distributions, sampling, estimation,
and hypothesis testing. Prerequisite: Advanced AIgebra.
Pre-Calculus - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
This is a course designed for those students needing a fourth year of math and expecting to take Calculus
in their first year of college. It is built upon the foundations built in Geometry and Advanced Algebra. First
semester topics include coordinate geometry, conic sections, polynomials, inequalities, & exponential and logarithmic
functions. Second semester topics include trigonometry, advanced graphing, polar coordinates, complex numbers, series
and sequences, and introduction to Calculus. Prerequisites: Geometry & Advanced Algebra
Calculus - 1 credit per semester toward graduation
This course is designed for those students who are planning on taking Calculus in the first year
of college. The course will introduce the student to terminology and methodology of Calculus without going to deeply
into theory. The following topics will be covered: Functions & graphs, limits and continuity, differentiation,
applications of derivatives, integration, and applications of the definite integral. Prerequisites:
Pre-Calculus
