Course Descriptions:
Sixth Grade Mathematics: This course is a Connected Mathematics Program which includes a middle school math curriculum (organized by grade level) that guides the students into high school integrated math. Units in number theory, geometry, data collection and analysis are addressed at the sixth grade level. Supplemental materials are offered to meet the needs of students who require drill and practice of arithmetic skills in addition to the process-oriented focus of Connected Mathematics.
Seventh Grade Mathematics: This course is a Connected Mathematics Program which introduces algebra topics through the use of variables, graphs, rate, ratio, proportion, use of positive and negative integers, and linear relationships expressed in words, tables and symbols. Students learn number sense by using large numbers from the world around them, similarity and congruence. Students are introduced to the area of probability.
Eighth Grade Mathematics: This course is the Connected Mathematics Program-s algebra unit that develops students- ability to describe and analyze relationships between variables. The goal of the course is to gain an understanding of and skill in the use of tabular, graphic and symbolic modes of reasoning of variables. The course includes developing familiarity with several of the most common patterns of variation.
IMP Math The Interactive Mathematics Program (IMP) is a four-year secondary, comprehensive, problem-based mathematics curriculum that integrates traditional content, such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, with other topics such as statistics and probability. The curriculum is designed to help all students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and how to apply thhem. It challenges students to explore open-ended situations actively, in a way that resembles the inquiry method used by mathematicians and scientists in their work. IMP has been designated an Exemplary mathematics program by the Department of Education.
Integrated Mathematics III: This course is the third year of a three year high school mathematics sequence. Upon completion of this course, students will have the equivalent of two years of algebra and one year of geometry. In addition, they will have a foundation in statistics and trigonometry. Prerequisite: successful completion of Integrated Math II or permission of instructor.
Analytical Geometry/Calculus I & II (A/B): This is a university level differential and integral calculus including continuity and limits. Success in the class will be determined by achieving a satisfactory score on the Advanced Placement examination d in May. Prerequisite: trigonometry X, analytical geometry/calculus I and/or permission of the instructor.
