ALGEBRA I – PART I
Grade -  9
Algebra I – Part I is an entry level course that introduces students to algebraic concepts as they apply to the real world.  Students will learn these concepts using a hands-on, concrete approach.  Students investigate, through application, operations with rational numbers, the properties of those operations, ratio, proportional reasoning, estimation, exponents and radicals, the rectangular coordinate system, sets and logic, formulas, and solutions of first degree equations and inequalities.

ALGEBRA I – PART II
Grade -     10
Algebra I Part II is a continuation of Algebra 1 – Part I.  Students enrolled in this course study in greater depth:  operations with real numbers, the properties of those operations, evaluating rational algebraic expressions, solving and graphing first degree equations and inequalities, operations with polynomials, solving simple quadratic equations, and using real-world problems to apply theory.  Students will learn these concepts using a hands-on, concrete approach.

ALGEBRA I (E) 
Grades - 9, 10
A course designed to help the student understand the basic structure of Algebra, recognize the techniques of Algebra, and acquire facility in applying algebraic concepts and skills.  This course is essential to college bound students and for students entering vocational and technical skills.

This course is designed for the more advanced mathematics students.  Algebra I Honors will cover more material and move at a faster pace than Algebra I.  PREREQUISITE:  Students must pass a screening test, have above average grades in previous math courses, and have the current math teacher's recommendation to schedule this course. 

APPLIED MATHEMATICS II
Grade - 10
The Applied Mathematics II course emphasizes the teaching of mathematics as problem-solving, communication and reasoning.  This course highlights occupationally-related applications and applies a problem-solving approach to the teaching of algebraic and geometric topics.  Applied Mathematics II covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:  lines and angles; two- and three-dimensional figures; ratio and proportion (similar figures); congruence of triangles; trigonometric functions; constructions; spatial visualization; coordinate geometry; transformations; and logic.  Graphing calculators will be incorporated throughout the course.  Prerequisite:  Applied Mathematics I.

GEOMETRY 
Grades - 10, 11
Geometry focuses on the study of visual patterns and the use of geometry, to represent mathematical concepts, and to teach problem-solving skills.  Students utilize inductive reasoning to confirm conjectures through proof.  Topics include measurement formulas:  geometric and spatial visualization; drawing skills; properties of congruence, similarity, parallelism, and perpendicularity; and properties of plane and solid figures.  PREREQUISITE:  Algebra I; additionally, eighth graders earning credit in Algebra I must pass the Algebra I screening test.

GEOMETRY - HONORS (TR)
Grades -    10, 11
EXTRA QUALITY POINT WILL BE GIVEN
This course is designed for the more advanced mathematics student.  Geometry Honors will cover more material and move at a faster pace than Geometry.  PREREQUISITE:  Algebra I or Geometry Honors teacher recommendation; additionally, eighth graders earning credit in Algebra I must pass the Algebra I screening test.

FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS
Grade -   11
Fee:  $20
A one-hour per day course designed for students in grades 11-12.  This course is designed to focus on mathematical concepts and applications needed for the design and management of personal and business finances.  Financial Mathematics serves as a foundation for ALL students to learn to make mathematically sound decisions in their roles as consumers, employees, and/or entrepreneurs.  This course extends students’ knowledge of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents as well as basic statistics, and probability, algebra, geometry, and data analysis in the context of relevant real life problem-solving situations.  Emphasis is placed on various mathematical processes which include manual or electronic calculations of payroll, income tax preparations, interest computations, consumer information, managing income, buying insurance, selling and buying, making sound credit and investment decisions and other items that may be related to personal and business transactions.  Mathematical and communication skills are reinforced in this course as well as critical thinking skills through applications of math in personal finance and in business.  Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course are service learning, field trips, and job shadowing and internships.  Simulations, projects, teamwork, DECA and FBLA leadership activities, meetings, conferences, and competition provide opportunities for application of instructional strategies.
