Mathematics

​ ** Mathematics **

This Advanced Placement course includes the material covered in the first two semesters of a college calculus class. Students pursuing a university major in science, math, and business or engineering are encouraged to take AP Calculus. The course prepares students to pass the BC Advanced Placement calculus test. Students who pass this test are typically able to waive the first year of college calculus. Two periods are necessary to provide enough time to cover all the material in the course. The additional period will also provide time for students to bring homework assignments and is required. Teacher signature required: (Mr. Barton- 213). || This Advanced Placement course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Four conceptual themes are studies: (1) Exploring Data: (2) Planning a study; (3) Probability and simulation; (4) Statistical Inference - hypothesis testing and confidence intervals. This course prepares student to pass the AP Statistics test. Students who pass this test are typically able to waive a semester of introductory college statistics. Teacher signature required: (Mr. Kushlan- 211). || Students will acquire skills needed to be successful in Pre-Calculus. The focus is on analysis and use of functions. Emphasis will be given to collecting data to motivate the development of the analytical model for each function that will be studied. Teacher signature required: (Current Math teacher). || This course prepares students for university Statistics and Calculus. Students will learn how to collect data, organize their own and others’ data and display the data in graphs and charts that will be useful in answering their questions and forming conclusions. Students will estimate probabilities in experiments and compare experimental and theoretical probabilities. Students will discover the relationship between the concept of slope and the formal definition of the derivative, with its accompanying applications. Students will also study antiderivatives and integrals including applications. Teacher signature required: (Current math teacher). || back to catalog

Students will explore geometry through inductive and deductive reasoning, technology, construction, manipulative and algebraic connections. Students will also explore logic, angle and line relationships, triangles and other polygons, congruence and similarity. Trigonometric ratio of sine, cosine and tangent are used to solve triangle problems. Students will use area, volume, geometric probability and geometric relationships to solve real-life problems. This course prepares students for Intermediate Algebra. <span style="color: #6699ff; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Teacher signature required: (Present Math teacher). ||

Students will acquire reasoning skills and knowledge necessary for many careers. The study of functions is the primary focus of Intermediate Algebra. These functions include polynomials, power functions, exponential and logarithms as well as trig functions. Students will study these functions using traditional algebraic methods and will also use technology to apply graphical and numerical methods. The course content also includes complex numbers, systems of equations and probability. <span style="color: #6699ff; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Teacher signature required: (Present Math teacher). ||
