Applied Physical Education1.0 CreditGrades 11, 12Offered in Fall, SpringThis course is a continuation of Introduction to Fitness. Students will continue learningthe underlying fundamentals of a fit for life attitude. Students are required to complete aportfolio of fitness, which includes self-assessments and activities; this provides them with theopportunity to get active and build fitness. In this course students will be exploring nutrients,food supplements, strengthening exercises, and learn to design individual fitness plans.Provided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolTextbooks: Fitness for Life - 5th EditionCourse Materials: Physical Education Kit with heart-rate monitorPrerequisite: Introduction to FitnessIntroduction to Anatomy & Physiology1.0 CreditGrades 11, 12Offered in Fall, SpringThis class covers every major body system ranging from the skeletal system to special senses.With the complexity of the human body, each unit is covered using an outline to focus on themain topics. As students progress through the class, they will not only learn about each bodysystem, but also how these body systems work together.Provided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolTextbooks: Essentials of Human Anatomy & PhysiologyMathematicsAlgebra Concepts1.0 CreditGrades 8, 9, 10Offered in Fall, SpringThis course is designed to build upon the essential skills of arithmetic as they apply toAlgebra at a reduced pace. Students will consider the behavior of numbers as themselves, inexpressions, in equations, and in inequalities. Students will look at the descriptive power ofnumbers in data, probability, and two-dimensional graphing. Students will use: integers andexpressions to solve problems, decimals in equations, rational numbers, exponents, scientificnotation, ratios, proportions, and percentages. Inequalities, graphing, area and volume ofvarious solids, and right triangles will also be covered.Provided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolThis is an Academic level courseand is not NCAA approved.Textbooks: Algebra Concepts and ApplicationsAlgebra I1.0 CreditGrades 8, 9, 10Offered in Fall, SpringIn this course, emphasis will be placed on operations, linear equations, linear inequalities,linear functions, and data organization. Students will be asked to work with operations withreal numbers and expressions, write and solve linear equations and inequalities, analyze andinterpret functions, describe and compute slope, analyze and interpret a scatter plot, anduse data displays in problem solving situations. Activities will include webcasts, WebQuests,practice activities, scheduled group work and unit exams. This course will prepare students totake the Keystone Algebra I Exam.Prerequisite: Passing grade in Pre-Algebra; for Honors, grade of B or better in Pre-Algebra.Textbooks: Algebra I - Prentice Hall.Required: TI 84 CalculatorProvided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolAlso available inCRxNCAA ApprovedKeystone Supplemental Available(see page 32)Register online! www.bvapa.org DRAFT • HIGH SCHOOL COURSES 27
Algebra II1.0 CreditGrades 9, 10, 11Offered in Fall, SpringThis course expands on the mathematical content of Algebra I and Geometry. Students willdevelop math skills through study of exponential and logarithmic functions, probability,statistics and elements of trigonometry. After completing the course, students are expectedto be able to: solve equations, inequalities and word problems; solve systems of equationsand inequalities; perform operations with matrices and determinants; simplify monomialspolynomials, irrational numbers, and complex numbers; solve quadratic equations; andwork with parabolas, circles, ellipses, hyperbolas and conic sections. Students will gain anunderstanding of real-world applications of these topics.Prerequisite: Passing grade in Algebra I and Geometry; for Honors, grade of B orbetter in Algebra I and Geometry.Textbooks: Algebra II - Prentice Hall.Required: TI 84 CalculatorProvided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolAlso available inH CRxNCAA ApprovedCommon-Core AlignedGeometry1.0 CreditGrades 9, 10Offered in Fall, SpringThis course will cover more than thirty math content anchors assessed on the 11th grademathematics PSSA. Students will build upon basic geometry skills by extending ideas aboutthe properties of lines and polygons. Review of the properties of triangles and other skills fromAlgebra I will show relationships between parts of geometric figures and solving for unknowns.Geometrical proofs and inductive reasoning will be covered. Throughout the course, studentswill apply the math they learn to real-world situations. This course includes lecture throughwebcasts, three WebQuests, scheduled small group work, a midterm exam, and a final exam.Prerequisite: Passing grade in Algebra I; for Honors, grade of B or better in Algebra I.Textbooks: Geometry - Prentice Hall.Required: TI 84 CalculatorProvided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolAlso available inH CRxNCAA ApprovedPre-Calculus1.0 CreditGrades 11, 12Offered in Fall, SpringThis course includes a detailed study of various algebraic and trigonometric functions andtheir graphs. The course goal is to prepare students for the study of calculus or to serve as ahigh school capstone course. The major areas of study are: linear, quadratic, polynomial andrational functions; exponential and logarithmic functions; trigonometric functions and analytictrigonometry; systems of equations, including matrices; polar coordinates; conic functionswith an emphasis on parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas; and topics in discrete mathematicsincluding sequences and series.Prerequisite: Passing grade in Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II; for Honors,grade of B or better in aforementioned classes.Textbooks: Pre-Calculus - Glencoe/McGraw Hill.Required: TI 84 CalculatorProvided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolAlso available inH CRxNCAA ApprovedIntroduction to Statistics.5 CreditGrades 10, 11, 12Offered in SpringThis nine-week course is designed as an introduction to statistics for high school sophomores,juniors or seniors. In this course, students will build upon algebra skills by working withfrequency and probability distributions and applying them to real-world situations involvingsamples and populations. Students will be able to make inferences about these situationsthrough the statistics they will learn.Provided by 21st CenturyCyber Charter SchoolNCAA ApprovedPrerequisite: Passing grade in Algebra I and GeometryTextbooks: Elementary Statistics - Prentice Hall.Required: TI 84 Calculator28HIGH SCHOOL COURSES • DRAFTRegister online! www.bvapa.org
