General Course Descriptions
Accounting: This course is an introduction to financial accounting procedures. The course goes beyond basic bookkeeping skills and addresses the measuring, planning, and controlling of business income, assets, and equities as well as the recording and reporting of business transactions. Students will develop the ability to analyze, record, and interpret business transactions. Basic accounting theory, the use of journals and ledgers, the preparation of financial statements, and preparation of a basic tax return are included in this course.
Grades: 10,11,12 Elective: 1.0 credit
ALGEBRA 1: This course is intended for the ninth-grade student who has not already studied a significant amount of algebra. The study of traditional algebra topics (plus some others) is driven by the Algebra 1 Common Core Standards. A scientific calculator (TI-30 or similar) is required. Graphing calculators are not allowed.
Grades: 9,10,11,12 Elective: 1.0 credit
GEOMETRY: This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions and is driven by the Geometry Common Core Standards. Emphasis will be placed on developing critical thinking skills as they relate to logical reasoning and argument. Inductive, deductive, and intuitive reasoning skills are used in problem-solving situations. Applications to the real world are stressed. The following topics will be included: lines/angles, triangle congruence, introduction to proofs, triangle similarity, ratios/proportions, quadrilaterals, trigonometry, area/volume, and transformations. A protractor, compass, scientific calculator, and ruler are required. ACT and SAT test preparation are
integrated
throughout
the
course
.
Grades: 9,10,11,12 Elective: 1.0 credit
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
ALGEBRA 2: This course expands on the topics that are introduced in Algebra 1. Topics include: Functions, logarithms, sequences and series, probability, statistics, and trigonometry. ACT and SAT test preparation are integrated throughout the course. A graphing calculator (TI-84 or TI-NspireCAS) is required for this course.
Grades: 10,11,12 Elective: 1.0 credit
Prerequisite: Geometry
COLLEGE ALGEBRA: This course is intended for students who wish to prepare for college entrance examinations or need a review of basic algebra skills. The course primarily will consist of a review of first and second-year algebra. Students who take this course can receive college credit by successfully passing the CLEP College Algebra Exam. Major topics in the course include algebraic operations, equations and inequalities, functions and their properties, and number systems and operations. A graphing calculator (TI-84 or TI-Nspire CAS) is required for this course.
Grade Level: 11, 12 Elective: 1.0 credit
Prerequisite: Algebra 2
Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry: This course is intended to prepare students for college mathematics including calculus. In addition to a continued study of functions and trigonometry, topics such as vectors, parametric equations, probability, and limits are included. This course fulfills the requirements for a 4th-year course in the Common Core Curriculum and is driven by the STEM (Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics) Standards. A graphing calculator (TI-84 or TI-Nspire CAS) is required for this course.
