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.
