Mathematics

  • Algebra I

    This course emphasizes strengthening students' critical thinking and reasoning skills. The content of this course includes linear and quadratic functions, systems of equations & inequalities, fluency in algebraic manipulation, solving techniques, and exponential functions.
  • Geometry

    Students in this course analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three- dimensional geometric shapes, develop mathematical arguments about a variety of geometric relationships and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.  Prerequisite: Algebra I
  • Algebra II

    This course emphasizes facility, fluency, and connections between the algebraic, numeric and graphic representations of polynomial, rational, and exponential functions, as well as an introduction to logarithms. Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry.
  • Alg II/Trig

    This course emphasizes facility, fluency, and connections between the algebraic, numeric and graphic representations of polynomial, rational, and exponential functions, as well as trigonometric and logarithmic functions. Prerequisites: Algebra I and departmental recommendation. Corequisite: Geometry
  • Intro to Functions

    This course is designed for students who have completed Algebra II but require more preparation prior to taking Functions. The focus of the course is to help students understand the concept of function, use it effectively, and articulate what they know. Exponential, logarithmic, polynomial and rational functions compose the majority of the course. Students will also work with trigonometric functions.
    Prerequisite: Algebra II and departmental recommendation.
  • Precalculus

    Both algebraic and transcendental functions are studied in depth with a strong focus on connections between graphic, algebraic, numeric, and application models.  Ample time is spent studying limits and combinations of functions.  The course is a targeted blend of precalculus topics that carefully balances concepts with procedures. The course provides a solid foundation to calculus by focusing on a small number of key topics, thereby emphasizing depth of understanding rather than breadth of coverage. Prerequisites: Algebra II or Algebra II/Trig and departmental recommendation
  • Calculus

    Calculus is designed for students who have completed Precalculus but desire more preparation prior to taking Calculus AB by reviewing, extending and connecting functional concepts at a deeper level. Students are also introduced to new concepts of logistic functions, derivatives, integrals, and calculus applications. Prerequisites: Functions or AP Precalculus and departmental recommendation
  • Statistics

    This course covers the basic concepts of statistics, focusing on the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data in order to assist the student in making informed decisions about real-world statistics. This class is available to all upperclassmen.  Prerequisite: Algebra II
  • Algebra II Honors

    Course Description – This accelerated course deepens students’ understanding of algebraic structures by emphasizing fluency and connections among algebraic, graphical, and numerical representations of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Students engage in sophisticated problem-solving, modeling, and analytical reasoning as they explore functions in greater depth and complexity. Emphasis is placed on precision, abstraction, and the ability to synthesize concepts through correct mathematical communication in preparation for advanced mathematics.

    Prerequisites – Successful completion of Honors Geometry with a final course grade of B or higher and a teacher recommendation, or successful completion of Geometry with a final course grade of A and a teacher recommendation.

  • AP Calculus AB

    This course is equivalent to a first-semester college level calculus course and prepares students to take the AP exam. The AP course covers concepts of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The course teaches students how to approach calculus concepts when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally.
    Prerequisites: Successful completion of AP Precalculus with a final course grade of B or higher and a teacher recommendation, or successful completion of Precalculus with a final course grade of A and a teacher recommendation.
  • AP Calculus BC

    This course is equivalent to a second-semester college calculus course and prepares students to take the AP exam. Concepts learned in Calculus AB serve as the foundation for more rigorous exploration undertaken in Calculus BC. This course also includes an introduction to multi-variable calculus.  Prerequisites: Successful completion of AP Calculus AB with a final course grade of B or higher and a teacher recommendation.
  • AP Precalculus

    AP Precalculus prepares students for other college-level mathematics and science courses. Through regular practice, students build deep mastery of modeling and functions, and they examine scenarios through multiple representations. They will learn how to observe, explore, and build mathematical meaning from dynamic systems, an important practice for thriving in an ever-changing world. Prerequisites: Successful completion of Honors Algebra 2 with a final course grade of B or higher and a teacher recommendation, or successful completion of Algebra 2 with a final course grade of A and a teacher recommendation.
  • AP Statistics

    This course is equivalent to a one-semester introductory college statistics course. The course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference.  Prerequisites:  Successful completion of Precalculus with a final course grade of B or higher and a teacher recommendation. Corequisite – AP Precalculus. 
  • Geometry Honors

    Honors Geometry is an accelerated and rigorous course designed for students with strong mathematical readiness and a commitment to advanced study. Students engage with geometric concepts at a deeper level by analyzing relationships, constructing proofs, and applying advanced reasoning to complex spatial situations. The course extends beyond core geometric concepts to strengthen algebraic reasoning and prepare students for higher-level mathematical coursework.

    Prerequisites – Successful completion of Algebra 1 with a grade of A– or higher for both semesters and a teacher recommendation.

  • Intro to Precalculus

    This course is designed for students who have completed Algebra II but require more preparation prior to taking Functions. The focus of the course is to help students understand the concept of function, use it effectively, and articulate what they know. Exponential, logarithmic, polynomial and rational functions compose the majority of the course. Students will also work with trigonometric functions.
    Prerequisite: Algebra II and departmental recommendation.
  • Multivariable Calculus

    An advanced exploration of calculus concepts applied to multi variable and vector functions.  The essential topics of this course include analyzing surfaces with partial and directional derivatives, double and triple integrals, line integrals, surface integrals, divergence, curl, flux, Green’s and Stoke’s Theorems.  This course will receive AP weighting. Prerequisites: Successful completion of AP Calculus BC with a final course grade of B or higher and a teacher recommendation.
