Algebra 1
Prerequisites: None
Grades: 9-12 / Semesters: 2 / Credits: 1
Algebra 1 lays the foundation for all future math classes. This course covers: solving one-, two-, and multi-step equations; solving and graphing linear equations, inequalities, and functions; solving systems of linear equations; exponents and exponential functions; graphing and solving quadratic equations; factoring; and operations with polynomials.

Geometry
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
Grades: 9-12 / Semesters: 2 / Credits: 1
In Geometry, students learn about coordinates and transformations, angle relationships, congruence, probability, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, circles, properties of polygons and three-dimensional figures, and modeling using geometry. Applications abound throughout the course.

Honors Geometry
Prerequisite: Algebra 1 (with a B or higher)
Grades: 9-12 / Semesters: 2 / Credits: 1
This course covers the same material as Geometry but at an accelerated rate and greater depth.

Algebra 2
Prerequisite: Algebra 1, Geometry
Grades: 9-12 / Semesters: 2 / Credits: 1
Algebra 2 covers systems of equations; absolute value, exponential, quadratic, and polynomial functions; complex numbers; function operations and inverses; and rational expressions. Many Algebra 1 concepts are taken to a higher level. A graphing calculator is highly recommended.

AP Calculus
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry
Grades: 10-12 / Semesters: 2 / Credits: 1
Students in AP Calculus will develop an understanding of the concepts of calculus and experience its methods and applications. This course emphasizes a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. It consists of a full high school academic year of work and is comparable to a calculus course in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take AP Calculus will seek college credit, college placement, or both from institutions of higher learning.
