Algebra I begins the study of functions. Functions represent the systematic dependence of one quantity on another. Students use functions to represent and model problem situations and to analyze and interpret relationships. Students work in many situations to set up equations and inequalities and use a variety of methods to solve them. A variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, and graphical), tools, and graphing calculators are used to model mathematical situations and solve meaningful problems. Coursework concentrates on foundations for functions, linear functions, and quadratic and other nonlinear functions. All ninth-grade students who did not take Algebra I in eighth grade will enroll in this course.

Geometry consists of the study of geometric figures of zero, one, two, and three dimensions and the relationships having to do with size, shape, location, direction, and orientation of these figures. The students use a variety of representations, tools, and technology to solve meaningful problems by representing figures, transforming figures, analyzing relationships, and proving things about them. Topics will include congruency, similarity, dimensionality, and patterning of all geometric figures.

Algebra II continues the study of functions that began in Algebra I, utilizing a more sophisticated approach.  Students use functions and equations as a means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of relationships and as a useful tool for expressing generalizations. The course emphasizes the use of equations and functions to represent geometric curves and figures and the connections between algebra and geometry as tools to help solve problems in the other.  Functions studied include quadratic and square root, rational, and exponential and logarithmic. Conic sections (non-functions) are also studied. Computers and graphing calculators will be used extensively. Students wishing to attend college should take Algebra II.

In Precalculus, students use functions, equations, and limits as useful tools for expressing generalizations and as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of mathematical relationships. Functions are used to represent and connect ideas in geometry, probability, statistics, trigonometry, and calculus and to model physical situations. Topics include polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and piecewise-defined functions, sequences and series, parametric representations of conic sections, and vectors. Computers and graphing calculators will be extensively integrated in the coursework.

First semester consists of sequences and series, probability, statistics, and logarithms.  The second semester is calculus, which consists of tangents of equations, derivatives, and integration.

Math Models is an Algebra I based course in the mathematics of finance. First semester involves personal finance while second semester investigates the finance of business. Students will use the technology of the graphing calculator and a spreadsheet program throughout the entire course.
