***Algebra 1 (8th or 9th grade)
Algebra 1 provides concepts that give the foundation for high school mathematics through algebraic thinking, symbolic reasoning, functional concepts and relationships between equations and functions. Students will use a graphing calculator (TI-84) to enhance learning. (Graphing calculators are used on high school level math TAKS tests.)
***Geometry/ Geometry P-AP (9th or 10th)
Geometry is the study of geometric figures and their properties, spatial reasoning, mathematical justifications and proofs. P-AP material is more extensive and students must maintain a grade of 75% or better to remain enrolled.
***Algebra 2/ Algebra 2 P-AP (10th, 11th, or 12th)
Algebra 2 expands algebra concepts and prepares the students for pre-calculus, calculus and college level math. The content extends algebraic theory and includes polynomials, quadratics, radicals, rational, exponential, logarithmic functions and conics. P-AP material is more extensive and students must maintain a grade of 75% or better to remain enrolled.
***Pre- Calculus P-AP (11th or 12th)
Pre-Calculus provides the groundwork for further study of mathematics at the college level. It further studies real numbers and functions. Also covered are vectors, complex numbers, sequences, parametric equations and trigonometric functions. Students are introduced to the more powerful TI-89 calculator which has calculus tools.
***AP Calculus AB/BC (12th)
Content is prescribed by the College Board. The course is intended to prepare students to take the AP exam for calculus and earn up to 2 semesters of college credit.
***Math Lab (9-11th)
This math course is a local credit required for students who do not meet expectations on the math portion of the TAKS test. Students will work on the specific TAKS objectives, as well as, problem solving techniques. The course focuses on reinforcing previously taught math skills while improving math performance. |
