MTH71 - Pre-Algebra 7 1 year
This course reinforces on a conceptual basis the arithmetic and problem-solving skills acquired previously. Students develop fundamental understanding of rational numbers and the different ways of expressing and using them, similarity, ratio and proportion, integers, and variables. Placement in this course is determined by a pre-test.
MTH81 - Pre-Algebra 8 1 year
This course reinforces on a conceptual basis the arithmetic and problem-solving skills acquired previously. Students develop fundamental understanding of rational numbers and the different ways of expressing and using them, similarity, ratio and proportion, integers, and variables. Placement in this course is determined by completion of Math 7.
MTH82 - Algebra I - Middle School 1 year
This course explores in depth all of the ways linear relationships can be expressed. They progress to modeling different types of functions and solving linear equations and inequalities. Geometry and probability is integrated with algebraic concepts. Students will learn to organize and summarize data and make predictions based on their findings.
MTH101 - Algebra I - High School 1 year
1 credit
This introductory algebra course integrates applications, statistics, and geometry to develop and exemplify the algebra of linear equations and inequalities. Models for arithmetic operations are immediately extended to expressions and equations involving variables. Graphing of lines is heavily emphasized. Concepts are linked as much as possible to modern applications in many subject areas.
MTH201 - Geometry (9-10) 1 year
1 credit
The goal of this course is to develop in students an understanding of all the dimensions of geometry. Properties of figures are explored inductively by using both traditional and computer drawings and measuring tools. Skills in logic and deductive reasoning mature as students progress from verbal explanations to formal proofs. Algebraic representations are woven throughout. Right triangle trigonometry is introduced. Geometer's Sketchpad software available on the tablet PC is used.
MTH305 - Algebra II (10-12) 1 year
1 credit
The focus of this course is the study of functions and their applications. Attributes of polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and radical functions will be covered through a numerical, geometric and algebraic approach. Elements of probability and statistics and basic trigonometry will also be included.
MTH310 - Honors Algebra II and Trigonometry 1 year
(Prerequisite: B+ in Algebra I and Geometry; Teacher Recommendation) 1 credit
This course is designed for the AP Calculus-bound students. It includes analysis and application of polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and trigonometric functions. A multi-representational approach: algebraic, graphical, and numerical is emphasized.
MTH401 - Advanced Algebraic Topics (11-12) 1 year
1 credit
Intermediate and Advanced Algebraic Topics together take the place of Advanced Algebra. The courses are designed for the student who would benefit from a slower pace than that which is presented in the standard course. Additional topics explored include exponential functions and probability and statistics.
MTH350 - Statistics 1 year
1 credit
This course is designed for the student who is interested in probability and data analysis. The material will focus on the relationship between probability and statistics, gathering and interpreting data, and making decisions based on numerical information. Many applications of statistics will be explored including those relating to business, games and sports, politics, science, and human interest. The work students do in statistics will help them connect mathematics with other school subjects and with experiences in their daily lives.
MTH404 - Math Analysis (11-12) 1 year
(Prerequisite: C in Advanced Algebra or B- in Adv. Alg. Topics or teacher rec.) 1 credit
Polynomial, rational, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions are studied using parent functions, transformations, the graphing calculator and some introductory calculus.
MTH405 - Honors Math Analysis (11-12) 1 year
(Prerequisite: B+ in Advanced Algebra and teacher recommendation) 1 credit
The honors section of Math Analysis is designed to emphasize the topics needed to prepare for calculus. The course will move at a more rapid pace and in more depth than the regular sections.
MTH450 - Advanced Placement Statistics 1 year
(Pre-requisite: B+ or higher in Advanced Algebra) 1 credit
The AP Statistics course is the equivalent to a one-semester, introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics. Like the college course, the purpose of the AP Statistics course is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad themes: exploring data, planning a study, anticipating patterns by producing probability models and confirming models through statistical inference. Students will use graphing calculators and computers as computational aides in analysis, simulation and generation of sampling distribution. Students take the AP exam after completing the course.
MTH460 - Advanced Placement Computer Science 1 year
(Pre-requisite: B+ in Advanced Algebra or teacher recommendation) 1 credit
The AP Computer Science course is equivalent to an introductory college-level course in computer science. Students will learn object-oriented programming methodology using Alice and Java with a concentration on problem solving and algorithm development. Topics of study include data structures, programming design, abstraction, computer system components, computer science history, and the ethical and social implications of computer use. Students take the AP exam after completing the course.
This elective does not fulfill the Mathematics requirement for graduation.
MTH501 - Pre-calculus and Discrete Mathematics (12) 1 year
(Prerequisite: B- in Math Analysis or C in Honors Math Analysis) 1 credit
This course provides the student with an in-depth foundation for a college level calculus course or other higher level mathematics studies in computer science and statistics. A comprehensive review of algebra creates the foundation for the continuing study of functions. Logic and reasoning is also covered in depth.
MTH505 - Advanced Placement Calculus (12) 1 year
(Prerequisite: B+ in Honors Math Analysis and teacher recommendation) 1 credit
Advanced Placement Calculus is a college level course that is focused on providing students with and understanding of the concepts of calculus as well as its methods and applications. The multi-representational approach is used as concepts are expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Students take the AP exam after completing the course.
