ALGEBRA 1 (ALG
1)
GRADE LEVEL: 9-12 One Year Prerequisite: None Algebra 1 is a one-year, one-credit course which covers the following topics: solving equations, problem-solving, polynomials, factoring, algebraic fractions, inequalities, rational and irrational numbers, and quadratic equations. If student passed 8th grade TAKS math, he/she should enroll in Algebra 1.
ALGEBRA 1 BLOCK
- TWO PERIOD CLASS (ALG 1 BLK) Algebra 1 Block is Algebra 1 taught in two-periods per day per semester for one year (one math credit). The following topics are covered: functions, analyzing graphical and tabular data, solving ration and proportion problems, solving problems involving probability, analyzing and/or solving problems involving one-or two-variable situations, solving problems involving right triangles, quadratic situations, and laws of exponents, factoring polynomials using models, performing operations on polynomials, solving linear, inequalities and quadratic equations, and graphing systems of equalities and inequalities, and recognizing the solution(s) from the graph.
ALGEBRA 2
(ALG 2) Algebra 2 is a one-year, one-credit course. College-bound students generally advance from geometry to Algebra 2. These topics are covered in Algebra 2: Inequalities, linear equations and functions, polynomials, rational expressions, irrational and complex numbers, quadratic equations, coordinate geometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, matrices and determinants. [top]
PRE-AP ALGEBRA 2
(PAP ALG 2) Pre-AP Algebra 2 includes the same topics covered in Algebra 2 with a stronger emphasis on functions. This class is a more in-depth approach at a much faster pace. Any student who fails Pre-AP Algebra 2 for two consecutive six-weeks may be moved to Algebra 2. [top]
GEOMETRY
(GEOM) Geometry is a
one-year, one-credit course. These topics are covered: logical
arguments, lines, segments, angles, triangles and other polygons,
circles, solid geometry, and measurement.
PRE-AP GEOMETRY
(PAP GEOM) Pre-AP Geometry includes the same topics covered in Geometry but is a more in-depth approach at a much faster pace. Any student who fails Pre-AP Geometry for two consecutive six-weeks may be moved to Geometry. [top]
MATHEMATICAL MODELS
WITH APPLICATIONS
(MATH MOD) Mathematical Models
with Applications is a one-year, one-credit course designed for students
who have successfully completed Algebra 1 and Geometry and have
difficulty with the abstract reasoning required in Algebra 2. In this
course students will review and strengthen their algebra and geometry
skills to prepare them for Algebra 2. This course involves collecting
and analyzing data using multiple approaches (algebraic, graphical, and
geometric) to solve problems from a variety of disciplines:
probability, personal income, credit, financial planning, science, art
and music.
PRE-CALCULUS (PRE-CALC) Pre-Calculus is a one-year, one-credit course designed for students who have successfully completed Algebra 2 and Geometry. Students use symbolic reasoning and analytical methods to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, and to study mathematical concepts and the relationships among them. These mathematical concepts will include functions, their graphs and applications; trigonometry; and selected discrete mathematics topics. This course is designed for students who are planning to attend college, but have been in the regular mathematics program.
PRE-AP PRE-CALCULUS
(PAP PRE-CALC)
AP CALCULUS
(CALC AP) AP Calculus is a one-year, one-credit course designed for students who have successfully completed trigonometry and analytic geometry or pre-calculus. The course is a study of elementary functions, limits of functions, derivatives, integral and techniques of integration, and applications. Minimum number of students for AP Calculus will be required for the class to be offered. [top]
AP STATISTICS AP Statistics is a
one-year, one-credit course designed for students who have successfully
completed Algebra 2. The course is a study of reasoning, along with a
collection of tools and methods, designed to help us understand the
world. It is particular calculations made from data. Minimum number of
students for AP Statistics will be required for the class to be offered.
