Bisbee High School is a - Bisbee Unified School District

Foreign Language Department
Spanish I
Elective Credit: 1.0
Grade level: 9,10,11,12 Prerequisites: None
This course is a minimally oral approach for students with no previous experience. Students will practice all four basic
language skills: listening, reading, writing, and verbal pronunciation correctness. Grammar is emphasized. Vocabulary
will be introduced along with verb conjugation of present and past tenses.
Spanish II
Elective Credit 1.0
Grade Level: 10,11,12 (9th with pre-testing determination)
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Spanish I with a “C” or better or pre-testing determination.
This class uses more emphasis on an oral/written approach in a continuation of the four basic language skills through use
of dialogues and reports, both written and verbal. Emphasis is still on grammar, verb conjugation, reading, writing and
accent refinement.
Mathematics Department
Following is an expected sequence for math courses depending on your selected career path:
Algebra I
Required Credit: 1.0
Grade Level: 9
This course covers modern algebra concepts and basic algebraic processes from writing and solving linear equations to
factoring polynomials, probability, statistics, radical and exponential equations . It also covers algebraic processes of
systems of linear equations., inequalities, functions, and quadratics and their graphs. This course develops skills and
knowledge essential for successes in other coursework in mathematics and science. This course can be used for an
Arizona University admittance requirement.
Geometry
Required Credit: 1.0
Grade Level: 10 Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra I
This course introduces the student to the theory and function of formal mathematical proof through an in-depth study of
plane geometry. Topics in elementary symbolic logic are also introduced. The material presented serves not only as a
medium by which the student improves his/her skill in logical thinking, but also serves as a foundation for upper-level
courses in mathematics. This course offers an “introduction” to trigonometric functions and their applications and a
continuation of Algebra with geometric figures (two and/or three dimensional). Applied principles of transformations in
real world situations using volume, area, distance, midpoint, perpendicularity and parallelism in a coordinate plane. Use of
translations, reflection, rotations and /or dilation is also applied. This course can be used for an Arizona University
admittance requirement.
Finance Mathematics And Statistics
Elective (Depending on Career Path) Credit: 1.0
Grade Level: 10, 11, 12 Prerequisites: Successful completion of Geometry
This course introduces the student to advanced functions and topics including exponential, logarithmic, binomial theorem,
statistical interpretation, and data collection techniques. Students will have the opportunity to collect a variety of types of
data, sports data and survey data, and use data to make inferences. Additionally, loans, investments and other personal
finance will be thoroughly discussed. The course will be available either before or after Algebra 2 and only requires
Geometry prior to course.
