Description:
In this course, students use functions to represent and model problem situations. They analyze and interpret relationships and use symbols in a variety of ways to describe those relationships. Students learn to use a variety of representations, tools and technology to solve meaningful problems. Topics include foundation of functions, linear, quadratic and exponential functions.

Description:
This course develops a structured mathematical system employing both deductive and inductive reasoning. Students study properties and relationships having to do with size, shape, location, direction and orientation of figures. Geometry students solve meaningful problems using geometric ideas, relationships and properties.Topics include plane, coordinate and transformational geometry as well as reasoning, justification and proof.

Description:
This course develops an appreciation of an axiomatic system through the observation of patterns. The exploration of these patterns, whether in a plane or space, allows the student to make conjectures about geometry which can then be proven deductively. The techniques and skills learned in Algebra 1 are integrated throughout the course in order to reinforce the skills previously learned and to enhance the study of geometry as part of a mathematical sequence. Students study properties and relationships having to do with size, shape, location, direction and orientation of figures. Geometry students solve meaningful problems using geometric ideas, relationships and properties. Topics include plane, coordinate and transformational geometry as well as reasoning, justification and proof. A variety of problems will be used to challenge an advanced mathematics student.

Math Models with Applications - return to top

Description:
This course continues to build on the Algebra I foundations as students use algebraic, graphical and geometric reasoning to recognize patterns and structure. In this course students learn to use mathematical methods to model and solve real-life applied problems involving money, data, chance, patterns, music, design and science.

Description:
In this course, students study algebraic concepts and the relationships among them to better understand the structure of algebra. Students in Algebra II learn that equations and functions are algebraic tools that can be used to represent geometric curves and figures, and they perceive the connections between algebra and geometry to use the tools of one to help solve problems in the other. Topics include linear, quadratic, square root, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic sections and sequences and series.

Description:
This non-calculus based course introduces the student to the management, interpretation and analysis of data within today’s society. Topics include exploratory data analysis, observing patterns and departure from patterns; planning a study and deciding what data to measure and how to measure it; producing models using probability and simulation; and applying techniques for statistical inference and confirming models. Projects, collaborative group problem-solving, and writing are part of the concept-oriented instruction and assessment. Application fields include psychology, engineering, sociology, business, medicine, economics, biostatistics and more. Students will prepare to take the College Board Advanced Placement Exam in Statistics.
