List of 7 items.

• Math I

  Math I focuses on developing a solid foundation in problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as well as computation skills.  Students work with all types of numbers and operations, including fractions, decimals, integers, exponents, ratios, rates, and averages.  Algebraic thinking is introduced through the study of topics such as patterns, functions, proportions, percents, and formulas from geometry.

• Math I-A

  Math I A is a rigorous, fast-paced course designed for students who have a solid foundation in computations with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and integers, as well as prior experience with algebraic thinking, basic geometry concepts, and a variety of non-routine problem solving strategies.  Students must have good organizational skills and a strong work ethic.  In addition, students in the advanced level must be able to work independently and should enjoy tackling challenging problems.  Students are selected for the advanced course based on their abilities and previous academic record.

• Math II

  Math II addresses the transition from arithmetic to the basic elements of theoretical mathematics.  Previously learned skills – including manipulation of decimals, fractions, ratios, proportions, percentages, and basic geometry – are reviewed and strengthened. This course also introduces set theory, multi-step equations, word problems, properties, and practical applications for geometry. Throughout the course, students investigate everyday situations that involve mathematical principles.

• Algebra I

  Algebra I integrates knowledge of variables and their use with concepts and operations of arithmetic in a formal, logical development of elementary algebra. Accuracy and precision are essential components of instruction, as is the development of problem-solving strategies. The content of the course includes an in-depth study of linear equations and inequalities, graphing, operations with polynomials, factoring, rational expressions and equations, introduction to functions, radical expressions and equations, and the quadratic formula. Word problems and applications of increasing complexity are addressed throughout the course. Prerequisite: V in Math II or teacher recommendation.
