SECONDARY MATH 1 (577000) Length: YearAvailable for: 9 The fundamental purpose of Secondary Mathematics I is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. The critical areas, organized into units, deepen, and extend understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Secondary Mathematics 1 uses properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior grades. The final unit in the course ties together the algebraic and geometric ideas studied. The Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

MODERN MATH (579700) Length: YearAvailable for: 11-12 Pre-Requisites: Student needs to have taken Secondary Math 1 and 2 • Work on basic math, logic and problem solving skills that can also help you further on the ACT and in life. • Learn to appreciate the language of the universe, which is mathematics. • Want a more real world view of Math in life, and all of the beautiful things to which it applies. • For students who are not sure about college. • For Seniors to make up missed math credits from previous years
AP Pre-Calculus (579010) Length: Year Available for: 11&12 Pre-requisite: Student need to have taken Secondary Math 3 AP Precalculus centers on functions modeling dynamic phenomena. This research-based exploration of functions is designed to better prepare students for college-level calculus and provide grounding for other mathematics and science courses. In this course, students study a broad spectrum of function types that are foundational for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, business, social science, and data science. Furthermore, as AP Precalculus may be the last mathematics course of a student’s secondary education, the course is structured to provide a coherent capstone experience rather than exclusively focusing on preparation for future courses. A graphing calculator is recommended.

MATH 1050 & 1060 (708461/708481) CE Length: YearAvailable for: 12th gradeFee $72.50 -$20 tuition first semester, $15 second, $18.75 book fee each semester The course is an algebra and trigonometry class designed to prepare students to enter either engineering or calculus courses. College Algebra satisfies quantitative literacy requirements for graduation. Students not intending to take calculus should investigate math 1030 or math 1040 as alternate courses that satisfythe quantitative literacy requirement. College Algebra explores a variety of algebra topics, though in a more thorough and in-depth way than an intermediate-level algebra course. Topics include functions and graphing, including polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic; systems of equations, matrices, inverse matrices, and determinants; partial fractional decomposition; conic sections; sequences and series; the binomial theorem. Trigonometry will prepare students for calculus by covering concepts and facts required for a major in math, physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science, as well as many of the life sciences.
