Algebra A/B<br />

THIS COURSE WILL give students the opportunity to hone their algebra,<br />

geometry, and data analysis skills while learning the ins-and-outs of<br />

personal finance. The course counts as one of the four required math<br />

credits for graduation at Rio Rancho Public Schools. It also incorporates<br />

into the curriculum “Making Money Work”, a twelve-week college course<br />

offered through Central New Mexico Community College (CNM). All<br />

instruction will take place during the student’s normal math class period at<br />

school. The teacher will work in conjunction with a CNM professor to<br />

facilitate the course on-line. All students successfully completing and<br />

passing the course will receive an additional full credit (beyond the math<br />

credit they will receive for passing Financial Algebra) which will count as an<br />

elective credit. Furthermore the students will receive an additional three<br />

college credits through CNM. Passing “Making Money Work” will also<br />

satisfy the State’s distance learning requirement for graduation.<br />

There is no cost to the student for the CNM course.<br />

20344123 Geometry A/B<br />

THIS COURSE WILL provide instruction on the topics of inductive and<br />

deductive reasoning through construction and measurement. Students<br />

considering AP Calculus in the future should take Pre AP Geometry.<br />

STUDENTS WILL develop geometric vocabulary, definitions, and theorems<br />

in proofs as applied to inter-relationships between lines, planes, polygons,<br />

circles, and polyhedrons. They will learn the basic concepts involving<br />

congruence and similarities between shapes, primarily triangles,<br />

quadrilaterals and circles. Students will learn geometric formulas and how<br />

to use and/or apply them in real world situations. They will be introduced to<br />

trigonometric identities and basic right triangle relationships of sine, cosine<br />

and tangent functions.<br />
