This course covers the same concepts as regular geometry while providing an extension of
content. A strong emphasis is placed on higher level thinking skills with an introduction to rate,
accumulation, and functions. Students learn to solve sophisticated problems that prepare them
for calculus.
Algebra II
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Geometry is recommended
Grade level: 9-12
Credit: 1
Course requirements include algebraic thinking and symbolic reasoning, function concepts,
relationship between equations, functions and geometry, use of a variety of representations
(concrete, numerical, algorithmic, and graphical), tools and technology, including, but not
limited to, powerful and accessible hand-held calculators and computers with graphing
capabilities and model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems.
Pre-advanced Placement Algebra II *
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Advanced Geometry is recommended
Grade level: 10-12
Credit: 1
This course covers the same concepts as regular Algebra II with increased emphasis on
sequences and series. Pre-AP Algebra II focuses on theoretical concepts and emphasizes higher
level thinking skills geared toward calculus. Students learn to solve sophisticated problems that
prepare them for calculus.
Pre-advanced Placement Pre-Calculus *
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Grade level: 11-12
Credit: 1
The requirements for this Pre-AP course include using symbolic reasoning and analytical
methods to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, to study mathematical
concepts and the relationships among them, use functions, equations, and limits as useful tools
for expressing generalizations and as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of
mathematical relationships.
Math Models
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Grade level: 11-12
Credit: 1
Course requirements include using mathematical methods to model and solve real-life applied
problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music, design, and science. Students use
mathematical models from algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics and connections among
these to solve problems from a wide variety of advanced applications in both mathematical and
nonmathematical situations. Students will use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical,
algorithmic, and graphical), tools, and technology to link modeling techniques and purely
mathematical concepts and to solve applied problems.
Pre-Calculus
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Grade level: 11-12
Credit: 1
Curriculum for this course forms a foundation for college mathematics curricula. Topics include
polynomial functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, rational functions,
trigonometric functions, vectors, parametric equations, sequences and series, and second-degree
relations.
Advanced Placement Calculus AB*
Prerequisite: Pre AP Pre-Calculus
Grade level: 11-12
Credit: 1
In AP Calculus, students explore functions, graphs, limits, derivatives, and integrals. This course
prepares students for the College Board AP Calculus AB Examination for possible college credit
first semester calculus.
Advanced Placement Statistics *
Prerequisite:
Grade level: 11-12
Credit: 1
AP Statistics introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and
drawing conclusions from data. This course draws connections between all aspects of the
statistical process, including design, analysis, and conclusions. Students will learn how to
communicate statistical methods, results and interpretations. Students will learn how to use
graphing calculators to enhance the development of statistical understanding. Curriculum for
this course follows the AP Statistics curriculum set by the College Board and is designed to
prepare students for the AP Statistics exam.
