This course is designed for students who plan to attend college or enter a technical career which requires advanced math skills.

Topics include: Limits and continuity, differentiation, rates of change, differentiation techniques, higher order derivatives, maximum/minimum problems, implicit differentiation, exponential and logarithmic functions, the anti-derivative, the finite integral and various application problems.
 

Geometry is a course that explores properties, measurements, and relationships of points, lines, surfaces, and solids in space. Students integrate their extensive knowledge of Algebra 1 with Euclidian geometry concepts to solve real world problems. It is a year-long course and meets for 45 minutes each day.

 

Students are required to have a full credit in Algebra I with a preference for college prep Algebra I prior to taking this course. Students must have passed Algebra I or have obtained permission of the building principal in order to take geometry.

Integrated Math is a course that brings together knowledge and skills introduced in previous Algebra I and Geometry courses through the exploration of real world situations that require an integration of both subject areas to address the problem.   Geometric concepts, properties, and the measurement and relationships of points, lines, surfaces, and solids in space will be reviewed and utilized in conjunction with the algebraic concepts and strategies introduced in Algebra I to deal with a wide variety of problems in construction, manufacturing, science, finance, and common every-day life. 

 

This course is intended to present students that have struggled with Algebra I, Geometry, or both, with a rigorous and meaningful year of applications math to more fully establish their understanding and math ability prior to moving on to more advanced math topics. Students are required to have a full credit in Algebra I and Geometry, with a preference for taking college prep Algebra II after taking this course. 

Algebra I include all essential topics needed to be successful in Algebra II. Topics covered are listed specifically under the scope and sequence for Algebra I and include: real numbers and their subsets; properties of real numbers; operations on real numbers; both finding square roots; generalize and find patterns and sequences; generalize patterns using functions or relationships; domain; range; use multiple representations; solve and graph linear equations; solve quadratic equations with real roots; solve systems of 2 by 2 equations; model and solve problems involving direct an indirect variation; describe and interpret rates of change; create, interpret and use graphical displays and statistical measures to describe data; find, use and interpret measures of center and spread; make inferences about relationships in bivariant data; counting techniques; compute probability of compound events; and theoretical and experimental probability. Algebra meets for 45 minutes each day and the class last for the full school year. One mathematics credit is earned.

 

Algebra II include all the essential topics needed to be successful in College Algebra, Pre-Calculus or Trigonometry. Topics covered are listed specifically under the scope and sequence

and include: operations on vectors and matrices; factorial notation; analyzing families functions; quadratic formula; logarithms; trigonometric functions; families of functions with graphs that have rotation symmetry or reflection symmetry; graphs of conic sections; complex numbers; recursive functions; least squares regression lines; regression coefficient; correlation coefficient; random sampling; analyze and summarize data; use technology to compute standard deviation; and use of spreadsheets and graphing calculators. Algebra II meets 45 minutes each day and covers the entire school year. One math credit is earned. Prerequisite for Algebra II: Students must earn a C or better in both Geometry and Algebra I or permission of the instructor.

 

This course is designed for students who plan to go to college or enter a technical career which requires advanced math skills.

Topics include: Functions and graphs of various types (polynomials, rational, exponential, logarithmic) to analyze relationships between variables and solve applied problems from many disciplines; Geometric properties of conic sections to derive equations and graphs for these curves’ reflective properties t solve applied problems; Systems of linear and nonlinear equations by methods of substitution, elimination, Gaussian elimination and inverse matrix; Matrix operations of addition, subtraction, scaler multiplication, matrix multiplication, and finding the determinant and inverse of a square matrix; General terms of sequence and write series in summation notation; Use functions and graphs of various types (polynomials, rational, exponential, logarithmic) to analyze relationships between variables and solve applied problems. This course is alignment with the Ohio Academic Content Standards for 12th grade. The class meets 45 minutes each day for one school year. One credit is earned in Advanced Math. Students must have earned a C or higher in Algebra II or permission of the instructor before taking Advanced Math.
