Math 8
3112 8 None 0 (Elective course and does not count toward graduation credits) |
|||||||||
| This is a transition course between lower divison mathematics and upper division mathematics. It involves critical thinking, creativity, and analytical reasoning. Lower divison mathematics consists mainly of repletion and memorization. Upper division mathematics is more abstract and involves proving theorems. This class serves as an introduction to various advanced topics in mathematics such as Geometery, Trigonometry, and Statistical Analysis. | ||||||||||

Algebra 1, Part 1
3131 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Math 8 1 |
|||||||||
| Algebra 1, Part 1 provides students with the basic algebra skills necessary to move to a higher level mathematics course. This course was designed to eliminate or reduce math anxiety by teaching Algebra at a slower pace. Thus, it makes mathematics understandable and applicable to everyday life. The student will learn computation with rational numbers such as intergers, fractions, and decimals and solve application problems. The student will use applications with polynomials, equations, and inequalities. | ||||||||||

Geometry
3143 9, 10, 11, 12 Algebra I 1 |
|||||||||
| The geometry course is a one year mathematics course that includes both plan geometry and three-dimensional geometry. The course is considered necessary to demonstrate a reasonable knowledge of mathematics for students who plan to pursue a college education. Simple algebraic equations are integrated into the course and presented as a means of solving some geometry problems. Geometric proofs and problem solving develop analytical reasoning skills and improve the ability to apply logic to analysis of problems. | ||||||||||
