MATHEMATICS GENERAL MATHEMATICS SEQUENCE: Algebra I Geometry Algebra II Trigonometry/Analytic Geometry -or– Trigonometry/Algebra III AP Calculus and/or AP Statistics This is a general sequence for mathematics students. There are variations to this mathematics plan. Please see your grade level counselor or the mathematics department chair for more information. MAX1100 ALGEBRA 1 Grades 09-12 1 credit each year Topics covered are the language of algebra, the real number system, solving linear equations in one variable, graphing on the number line, solving word problems, working with polynomials and solving inequalities. Topics covered in the second semester are solving quadratic equations, solving systems of equations, graphing on the number plane, working with rational expressions, and working with radicals. MGX1100 GEOMETRY Grades 09-12 1 credit each year This course follows: Algebra 1B This course is designed for students planning to continue the study of mathematics. The emphasis is on the understanding and use of relationships among points, lines, and figures. Content of the course includes deductive and inductive reasoning, geometric figures and their relationships, solving problems applying geometric concepts. Concepts and processes introduced in Geometry A are further developed and extended in the second semester. Perimeter, area and volume formulas are developed. MAX1200 ALGEBRA 2 Grades 10-12 1 credit each year This course follows: Geometry This course extends the algebraic skills and knowledge developed in Algebra 1B. The content of the course includes vocabulary and operations of algebra, properties of real numbers, linear open sentences, functions and polynomials, factoring polynomials, and rational expressions. The second semester covers radicals and irrational numbers, quadratic equations and functions, quadratic relations and systems, exponential functions and logarithms, sequences and series. MCX1010 TRIGONOMETRY MAX1310 ALGEBRA 3 Grades 10-12 .5 credit each semester This course follows: Algebra 2 The first semester is designed for students who have a two-year background in algebra and some coordinate geometry. Topics included are trigonometric functions, triangular relations, trigonometric tables, trigonometric equations and identities. The second semester will provide opportunities to strengthen algebraic concepts and skills. Topics included are linear and polynomial equations, sequences and series, matrices and determinants and real and complex numbers. MCX1010XX TRIGONOMETRY MCX1030XX ANALYTIC GEOMETRY Grades 10-12 .5 credit each semester This course follows: Algebra 2 These courses are designed for students who are preparing to study for Calculus. The topics covered in the first semester include trigonometric functions, triangular relations, trigonometric tables, trigonometric equations and identities. The second semester includes the study of rectangular and polar coordinates, curve sketching, conics, parametric equations, and an introduction to vectors. MCX1030 ANALYTIC GEOMETRY MCX1020 PRECALCULUS Grades 10-12 .5 credit each semester This course follows: Algebra III The first semester is designed for students who are preparing to study calculus. Analytic geometry includes study of rectangular and polar coordinates, curve sketching, conics, parametric equations, and an introduction to vectors. Precalculus extends the study of elementary functions. Graphs and properties of algebraic functions, transcendental functions, and conics are studies. Graphing with polar coordinates is included. Additional emphasis is placed on integration of appropriate technology. MXX1100 PROBABILITY Grade 12 .5 credit each semester This course focuses on the probability content standards with emphasis on developing probability concepts inherent to everyday situations. Emphasis is also placed on using probabilities in decision-making. Laboratory experiences are provided. MXX1300 STATISTICS Grade 12 .5 credit each semester This course follows: Probability This course provides students with an introduction to statistical issues and concerns and presents strategies for analyzing and interpreting data. This course addresses the statistical content standards and includes the following topics: graphs and charts, collection and organization of data, measures of central tendency and dispersion, uses and misuses of statistics, frequency distributions, correlation, and regression. MCA1040 ADV. PLACEMENT CALCULUS Grades 12 1 credit each year This course follows: Analytic Geometry (See Math Teacher for sign up) A one-year course in calculus and related analytic geometry. Students must have a solid background in algebra, geometry, and some experience with elementary function. Topics included are limits, derivatives, differentials, anti derivatives, and integrals of a function. MCA1050 ADV. PLACEMENT STATISTICS Grades 12 1 credit each year This course follows: Trig, Analytic Geometry or Algebra 3 (See Math Teacher for sign up) See Mrs. Sera in the Television Studio. This Advanced Placement course is designed for high school students who wish to complete studies equivalent to a one semester, non-calculus-based college course. Students who successfully complete the course and examination may receive credit and/or advanced placement credit for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. Note: The number of college students who take a statistics course is almost as large as the number who take a calculus course, at least one statistics course is typically required for majors such as engineering, psychology, sociology, health, science and business. Science, engineering, business, and mathematics majors usually take an upper-division calculus-based course in statistics, for which the AP Statistics course will be effective preparation. |
