Other Math Courses
At the high school level, students continue 
to build on the basic
foundation developed in grades K-8 mathematics as they expand their
understanding through other mathematical experiences. These foundations,
which include the understanding of number, operation, and quantitative
reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry;
measurement; and probability and statistics, are essential foundations
throughout high school mathematics.
Independent Study: Dual Credit College Algebra
This
course builds upon students’ algebra skills to prepare them for
advanced mathematics courses in college. The focus of the course
includes the analysis of absolute value equations and inequalities,
graphing skills, functions, and the theory of equations and matrices.
Successful completion of the course may result in dual credit for both
high school graduation and college coursework. A student interested in
this course should contact his/her counselor for details regarding
prerequisites, requirements, and testing. Students must successfully complete Algebra 2 prior to enrolling in College Algebra.
Advanced Placement Statistics
AP Statistics Scope and Sequence
This is an Advanced Placement course designed to meet the requirements
of statistics as outlined in the Course Description of the Advanced
Placement Program in Mathematics. The purpose of the AP course in
statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for
collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are
exposed to four broad conceptual themes: exploring data, planning a
study, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. At the
conclusion of this course, students may take the Advanced Placement
Statistics Exam.
Math Models with Applications (MMA)
MMA Scope and Sequence
Mathematical Models with Applications is designed to build on the
knowledge and skills for mathematics in Algebra I and Geometry. Students
learn to apply mathematics through experiences in personal finance,
science, engineering, fine arts, and social sciences. Students use
algebraic, graphical, and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and
structure, model information, solve problems, and communicate solutions.
Students will select from tools such as physical objects;
manipulatives; technology, including graphing calculators, data
collection devices, and computers; and paper and pencil and from methods
such as algebraic techniques, geometric reasoning, patterns, and mental
math to solve problems. This course is not open to students who have received credit for either semester of Algebra 2.
Advanced Placement Calculus AB or BC
Calculus AB Scope and Sequence
Calculus BC Scope and Sequence
Online Textbook Resource
These are Advanced Placement courses designed to meet the requirements
of Calculus AB or Calculus BC as outlined in the Course Description of
the Advanced Placement Program in Mathematics. This course primarily
develops the students’ understanding of the concepts of calculus and
providing experience with its methods and applications. Topics include
limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications. Calculus BC is
an extension of Calculus AB rather than an enhancement. In addition to
the topics covered in Calculus AB, this course expands upon the
applications of derivatives and integrals. Calculus BC also covers
polynomial approximation, sequences, and series. At the conclusion of
these courses, students may take the Advanced Placement Calculus Exam. Students may earn credit in either Calculus AB or Calculus BC but not both.
