<strong>Course</strong> Descriptions<br />
Algebra 1 Part A – 1.0 credit (blocked)<br />
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT/OPEN ELECTIVE<br />
(.50 credit Math & .50 credit Elective for the semester)<br />
Prerequisite: Placement from 8 th grade or teacher recommendation at High <strong>School</strong> level.<br />
This course focuses on essential algebra concepts. Students taking this course will learn algebra skills that begin at a concrete level, move<br />
to a representational level, and eventually build to an abstract level. A scientific calculator is required, a TI 83+, or a TI84+ graphing<br />
calculator is recommended.<br />
Algebra 1 Part B – 1.0 credit (blocked)<br />
(.50 credit Math & .50 credit Elective for the semester)<br />
Prerequisite: Algebra 1 Part A<br />
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT/OPEN ELECTIVE<br />
This course is a continuation of the essential algebra concepts from Algebra 1 Part A.<br />
Algebra 1 - 1.0 credit (2 semesters; .5 credit per semester)<br />
Prerequisite: “C-“or above in Math 802 (8th grade) or Math 803<br />
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT<br />
Algebra 1 offers a wide variety of detailed content and applications, promotes independent thinking and learning, and prepares students to<br />
use mathematics and technology effectively in today’s world. The course prepares students for subsequent math courses. A scientific<br />
calculator is required, a TI 83+, or a TI84+ graphing calculator is recommended.<br />
Geometry Essentials - 1.0 credit (2 semesters; .5 credit per semester)<br />
Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation<br />
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT<br />
Geometry Essentials is a geometry course for the non-college bound student. It covers essential geometry concepts. This course is not<br />
intended for freshmen. A scientific calculator is required, a TI 83+, or a TI84+ graphing calculator is recommended.<br />
Geometry - 1.0 credit (2 semesters)<br />
Prerequisite: Algebra 1 T3, Algebra 1 Part B, Algebra 1 or Geometry Essentials<br />
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT<br />
Geometry provides exploration in physical application, promotes independent and group learning, incorporates technology, facilitates logic<br />
and process of content material and supports a practical background for continuation into Integrated Geometry/Algebra 2. A scientific<br />
calculator is required, a TI 83+, or a TI84+ graphing calculator is recommended.<br />
Honors Geometry - 1.0 credit weighted Note: <strong>Course</strong> Fee $5 GRADUATION REQUIREMENT<br />
(2 semesters; .5 credit per semester)<br />
Prerequisite: “B” average or above in Math 804 or “A+” in Algebra IT3 with teacher recommendation<br />
Geometry Honors provides exploration in the theoretical area of geometric concepts. Application is discussed; however emphasis is<br />
placed on theory. Content is rigorous and pace is accelerated as compared to Geometry. A scientific calculator is required, a TI 83+, or a<br />
TI84+ graphing calculator is recommended.<br />
Algebra 2 - 1.0 credit (2 semesters; .5 credit per semester)<br />
Prerequisite: Geometry or Geometry Essentials<br />
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT<br />
Algebra 2 continues the math sequence enhancing practical, technological and preparatory skills for future mathematics. This provides further<br />
investigation in independent thinking, and extends Algebra 1 and Geometry by incorporating theory and evaluation. It offers a solid<br />
background in preparation for Pre-Calculus and College Preparatory Statistics. A TI 83+ or a TI84+ graphing calculator is required.
