CREDIT RECOVERY ALGEBRA (CR) (L2100)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, Grades 11, 12<br />
This course meets the CSU and UC ‘c’ mathematics college<br />
entrance requirement.<br />
Prerequisite: Repeated failure of Algebra 1. Please read the<br />
full syllabus for Algebra 1 on the JLHS Website.<br />
Credit Recovery Algebra (CR) is a course designed for students<br />
who have failed Algebra 1, repeated Algebra 1, and<br />
failed again. As 11 tth or 12 th graders, these students must fulfill<br />
the JLHS and state requirements. CR is self-paced and designed<br />
to allow a student to receive credit by semester. It is<br />
possible for a student who needs both semesters of Algebra<br />
1 credit to earn those credits in one semester of CR. A student<br />
who needs only one semester of Algebra 1 can also earn<br />
those credits in one semester of CR. Please read the full syllabus<br />
for Credit Recovery Algebra on the JLHS website.<br />
ALGEBRA A (Restricted Enrollment) (L2801)<br />
5 Math credits per Semester Passed / One Year, Grades 9,<br />
10, 11 & 12<br />
Prerequisites: Placement is based with several possible approaches.<br />
The middle schools may have input. There may be<br />
an administrative recommendation from either the middle<br />
schools or JLHS. There may be a placement test. Students<br />
enrolled in this course will take the CAASPP General Math<br />
test administered by the state. Teachers and counselors at<br />
Logan will check, thoroughly, the background of any and every<br />
student enrolled in Algebra A<br />
Students will receive algebra material aligned with the California<br />
standards for Algebra 1. The goal of this alignment is<br />
that the students will be prepared to begin Algebra 1 in a<br />
subsequent year. They will receive a review of basic skills,<br />
operations, and some fundamental geometry because Geometry<br />
is a future required course. It is hoped that students will<br />
gain a basic understanding of variables and operations with<br />
variables. They will gain an understanding of the processes<br />
used to solve equations. Concepts from previous grades will<br />
be part of the review. Teachers will also include work with<br />
materials and processes that students may well use as consumers,<br />
material such as percentages and discounts. Algebra<br />
A will work significantly with key (power) standards from the<br />
California Standards in Algebra: 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 9.0,<br />
10.0. Passing both semesters of Algebra A ought to put the<br />
student in position to be eligible for Algebra 1. This course<br />
may not be repeated for credit.<br />
Geometry<br />
GEOMETRY (L2200)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, Primarily Grades 9, 10<br />
This course meets the CSU and UC ‘c’ mathematics college<br />
entrance requirement.<br />
Prerequisites: Completion of Algebra 1. The department<br />
recommends that a student have a grade of C or better in<br />
Algebra 1. Logan offers summer school opportunities for<br />
each of the two semesters of Algebra 1 for students to have<br />
the best possible preparation for Geometry Please read the<br />
full syllabus for Geometry on the JLHS website.<br />
Geometry is required by the UC system of colleges and universities.<br />
Students who seek UC entrance must have successfully<br />
completed one full year of Geometry. If a student successfully<br />
completes Geometry at one of the NHUSD middle<br />
schools, there is a record on the student’s continuing transcript<br />
at James Logan; however, no Logan graduation credits<br />
are awarded. If a student does not receive at least a C grade<br />
at the middle schools, the student has the option of summer<br />
school or repeating the course at Logan. Students should<br />
expect homework each night on average. Also, it is important<br />
to have a successful background in Algebra 1 because Geometry<br />
often utilizes many Algebra skills throughout the course.<br />
Students with a grade of C- or below in Algebra 1 are urged<br />
to consider summer remedial help that is available at Logan<br />
before taking Geometry. Teachers strongly recommend a<br />
minimum of C in Algebra 1 prior to Geometry. This course<br />
may not be repeated for credit.<br />
FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOMETRY (L2250)<br />
10 credits, One Year, Grades 11 & 12<br />
This course meets the CSU and UC ‘c’ mathematics college<br />
entrance requirement.<br />
Prerequisites: Completion of Algebra 1 with a passing<br />
grade, counselor’s recommendation, and department approval.<br />
Summer school is offered for Algebra 1 if the student<br />
has not passed Algebra 1.<br />
While the Fundamentals of Geometry course is based on the<br />
California standards, it does not necessarily provide the<br />
scope and depth necessary for Algebra 2. Students would<br />
need a written recommendation from the teacher of Fundamentals<br />
of Geometry if they wish to register for Algebra 2.<br />
Please read the full syllabus for Fundamentals of Geometry<br />
on the JLHS website.<br />
Fundamentals of Geometry (FOG) is a class designed particularly<br />
for students in the 11 th and 12 th grade who need sufficient<br />
math credits to fulfill JLHS graduation requirements.<br />
Students must have passed an Algebra 1 course to be eligible.<br />
If a student fails Geometry as 9 th or 10 th grade, this Fundamentals<br />
of Geometry course is not meant to replace summer<br />
school for Geometry. If a student fails Geometry during<br />
the school year, the proper pathway is enroll in summer<br />
school rather than registration into this Fundamentals<br />
course. Freshmen students who qualify for Geometry must<br />
take Geometry rather than Fundamentals of Geometry.<br />
Sophomores enrolled in Algebra 1 and who pass Algebra 1<br />
with a C grade or better should enter Geometry rather than<br />
Fundamentals. Teachers and counselors should recommend<br />
Fundamentals of Geometry only if the student has repeated<br />
and subsequently passed Algebra 1 with a D or is a student in<br />
11 th and 12 th grade in need of graduation credits in math..<br />
Importantly, Fundamentals of Geometry (FOG) does not typically<br />
fulfill the requirement or prerequisite for taking Algebra<br />
2. This course may not be repeated for credit.<br />
Algebra 2<br />
ALGEBRA 2 (L2300) & HONORS ALGEBRA 2 (L2300H)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, Grades 9, 10, 11, 12<br />
This course (both non-honors and honors) meets the CSU and<br />
UC ‘c’ mathematics college entrance requirement.<br />
Prerequisites and recommendations: For the Algebra 2<br />
class, teachers recommend that students earned at least a C<br />
in Algebra 1. Summer school offers an opportunity for students<br />
to meet these recommendations. For Honors Algebra<br />
