#328 – MATH 3 (HSPA PREP) – 2.5 CREDITS (MTH 328 MATH 3 HSPA)
Grade: 12
This course is designed to prepare the grade 12 student for the state mandated HSPA graduation retest to be administered in
March. The course offers remediation to those students who have not passed the first or the second administration of the test
during the junior and senior year, or those students new to the school who may be at risk for passing the HSPA. Students will
also prepare for the Student Review Assessment (SRA) as an alternative for fulfilling the HSPA requirement.
ELECTIVE COURSE IN MATHEMATICS PROGRAM
#356 - PROBABILITY & STATISTICS - 2.5 CREDITS (MTH 356 PROB & STATS)
Grades: 11-12
Prerequisite: #343 Algebra 3 C/C, #332 Algebra 2, or #311 Honors Algebra 2
This course is designed for juniors and seniors who want a better background in probability and statistics. The course exposes
students to topics regarding experimental and theoretical probability; numerical representations of data; graphical
representations of data; and written and verbal interpretation of data using concepts from exploratory data analysis. Computer
applications, to examine graphical representations of real data (and its subsequent analysis) will play a major role in enhancing
the understanding of concepts.
#359 – ADVANCED PLACEMENT STATISTICS – 5 CREDITS (MTH 359 AP STATISTICS)
Grades: 10-12
Prerequisite: #311 Honors Algebra 2 or #342 Analysis
This is a weighted course, which includes the following topics: exploring data; planning a study; anticipating patterns; and
statistical inferences. Computers and/or calculators are used as frequent exploration tools. This course is excellent for students
who intend to study business, economics, and/or social sciences where data analysis is required. Students who successfully
complete the course are recommended to take the Advanced Placement Test of the College Entrance Examination Board that
may result in advanced credit toward college mathematics courses. Students may not take both #356 and #359.
#357- PROBLEM SOLVING & MATH FOR THE SAT - 2.5 CREDITS (MTH 357 MATH FOR SAT)
Grades: 10-12
Prerequisites: #322 Geometry or #333 Algebra 2 C/C
This course is designed to help students improve their problem-solving skills through exposure to qualitative and quantitative
reasoning. Topics are taken from arithmetic, algebra, and geometry in an effort to strengthen the basic repertoire of skills and
processes which should be a part of a student's background before entering college. S.A.T. practice tests. Test-taking strategies
are an integral part of instruction.
#360 – HONORS DISCRETE MATHEMATICS - 2.5 CREDITS (MTH 360 HON DISCR MTH)
Grades: 11-12
Prerequisites: #332 Algebra 2 and #322 Geometry
This is a weighted course, which may be elected in addition to or in place of Analysis, Trigonometry, or Calculus. Topics
offered include matrices, sets, discrete functions and relations, permutations and combinations, discrete probability and
statistics, game theory, Markov chains, voting theory, apportionment, bin packing, coding theory, fractals, scheduling, and fair
division.
#361 – DISCRETE MATHEMATICS – 2.5 CREDITS (MTH 361 DISCR MTH)
Grades: 11-12
Prerequisites: #343 Algebra 3 C/C, #332 Algebra 2, or #311 Honors Algebra 2
This course is designed for juniors and seniors who want a better background in traditional discrete mathematics. The course
exposes students to topics that include matrices, graph theory, election theory, permutations and combinations, and digital
technology.
