The basic concepts and devices of algebra such as open sentences, axioms, equations, problem solving, negative numbers, inequalities, polynomials, and factoring are introduced. The role of deductive reasoning in algebra is stressed.
Algebra 2 CP1 grades 11-12 1 unit
Prerequisites: Completion of Math Tech 3 or Geometry
Algebra 2 CP1 consists of topics found in traditional Algebra 2 courses with emphasis on solving problems found in the work place. Students will use graphing calculators.
Algebra 2 CP 2 grades 10-12 1 unit
Prerequisites: 77 average or better in Algebra 1 and Geometry
Emphasis is first placed on review and extension of Algebra 1 concepts and skills, including a study of linear, quadratic and exponential functions. Rational algebraic expressions and complex numbers are studied. Students will be using graphing calculators.
Algebra 2 Honors/Pre-IB grade 10 1 unit
Prerequisites: 85 average or better in Algebra I H and Geometry H
Emphasis is placed on extension of Algebra I concepts and skills, including a strong study of linear, quadratic, logarithmic and exponential functions. Rational algebraic expressions and complex numbers are studied. This course moves at a faster pace and involves the study of more complex problems than Algebra II CP.
Calculus CP grade 12 1 unit
Prerequisites: Precalculus
This course is designed for students who plan to take advanced math classes in college. Topics include the properties and limits of functions, the derivatives and its applications, the integral and its applications and transcendental functions.

Prerequisite: Eligibility for AP coursework
The AP Calculus BC course is a college level calculus course. It includes all topics of AP Calculus AB and several additional topics, including sequences and series and parametric equations. The outline topics issued by the College Board are closely followed. Each student is required to take the AP Exam.
Geometry CP grade 9-11 1 unit
Prerequisite: 77 average or better in Algebra 1 CP or 75 or better in Algebra 1 H
This course uses deductive reasoning involving the application of definitions, postulates and theorems to solve problems and write proofs. Powers of spatial visualization and knowledge of the relationships among geometric elements are developed through classic compass construction techniques as well as through sketching and problem solving in coordinate geometry, areas and volumes, and ratio and proportion.
Geometry Honors/Pre-IB grade 9 1 unit
Prerequisites: 85 average or better in Algebra 1 H and teacher recommendation
Emphasis is placed on an understanding of the basic structure of geometry while developing powers of spatial visualization and knowledge of the relationships among geometric elements. Emphasis is placed on deductive reasoning, using definitions, postulates and theorems. This course includes coordinate geometry, areas and volumes, constructions and ratios and proportion with emphasis on proofs and problem solving. This course moves at a faster pace and involves the study of more complex problems than Geometry CP.
