Pre-AP PRECALCULUS Grade Placement: 11 – 12 1 credit Prerequisite: Pre-AP Algebra II - Grade of 80 or above in Pre-AP Algebra II Pre-AP Pre-Calculus is designed for serious math students who are preparing to take AP Calculus as a high school senior. The course covers the knowledge and skills described in PreCalculus at an accelerated rate and with greater depth. Higher level thinking skills are required as connections are made to previous courses and extended to concepts required for calculus. Students who plan to take Calculus as a senior should take Pre-AP Pre-Calculus as a junior. AP CALCULUS AB Grade Placement: 12 1 credit Prerequisite: Grade of 80 or above in Pre-AP Pre-Calculus AP Calculus AB is a college course offered at the high school level. AB Calculus is designed to integrate all of a student’s mathematical knowledge into a single course; thus, calculus students begin to see mathematics as a whole, rather than just as individual segments. The understanding of the principles of calculus is essential for many fields of study, including mathematics, the sciences, engineering, business, economics, sociology and psychology, computer programming and system analysis. The course content includes derivatives and integrals covered in a onesemester college calculus course. All students prepare for and are encouraged to take the Advanced Placement exam. Success on the exam can earn three to seven semester hours of college math. AP CALCULUS BC Grade Placement: 12 1 credit Prerequisite: Pre-AP Pre-Calculus - Grade of 80 or above in Pre-AP Pre-Calculus AP Calculus BC is a college course offered at the high school level. BC Calculus is designed for the serious and gifted math students who desire to prepare for taking the BC Advanced Placement exam. Generally, the BC exam allows qualified students to receive two semesters of college calculus courses. In addition to the content in AB Calculus, students will study polar and parametric equations, vectors, and sequences and series. AP STATISTICS Grade Placement: 11 – 12 1 credit Prerequisite: Pre-AP Algebra II or Pre-Calculus - with a grade of 85 or above AP Statistics is a college course offered at the high school level. The course is equivalent to an introductory non-calculus based college course. The purpose is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. At least one statistics course is typically required for majors such as engineering, psychology, sociology, health science and business. This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement exam for college credit in statistics. MATHEMATICAL MODELS WITH APPLICATIONS Grade Placement: 11 – 12 1 credit Prerequisite: Credit in Algebra I and Geometry; or concurrent enrollment in geometry. The course content requires the students to use algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to solve problems from a variety of advanced applications in both mathematical and nonmathematical situations. Topics include everyday situations involving chance, personal income, credit, financial planning, connection to biology growth and decay, periodic motion, physical laws, and math in art, architecture and music. Students with credit in Algebra II should not take Math Models. Math Models does not satisfy the third math requirement for the Recommended or Distinguished Graduation Program. ______________________________________________________________________________ 71
INDEPENDENT STUDY IN MATHEMATICS ½ to 1 credit Grade Placement: 12 Prerequisite: Grade of 85 or better in Calculus AB or Calculus BC and teacher approval Independent study in mathematics is designed for the serious, self-motivated student who plans to major in mathematics or in a field that requires an emphasis on mathematics. Topics studied will include advanced calculus, logic, proof, and number theory. Independent discovery and reading mathematically will be emphasized. TAKS MATH CLASS 1 local credit Grade Placement: 11 - 12 Prerequisite: Application required – Application on file in Instructional Technology Office. This class is designed to better prepare students who need additional help or have been unsuccessful on previous math TAKS tests. This class does not count as a math credit toward graduation. ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL DECISION MAKING 1 credit Advanced Mathematical Decision Making (AMDM) is a mathematics course that follows Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. The course emphasizes statistics and financial applications, and it prepares students to use algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and discrete mathematics to model a range of situations and solve problems. 72
