Pre-Algebra: Virtual School (Alpha Omega)

Prerequisite: None

Eligibility: 9

The Pre-Algebra course is a preparatory course for Algebra I.  The review of essential algebra and geometry concepts helps students master and remember concepts for a long time. 

Algebra I (Saxon)

Prerequisite: Mastery of pre-algebra or equivalent course

Eligibility: 9, 10, 11, 12

The Algebra I course concentrates on the fundamental aspects of problem solving and the development of personal discipline to maximize the mathematical talents of the student.  The course covers many topics including number systems, rules and procedures for expressions and equations, inequalities, graphing in the Cartesian coordinate system, word problems, unit conversions, statistics and beginning geometry.  Some topics are introduced and developed to a complex level, while others are introduced and will be developed in the Algebra II course.

Geometry (Bob Jones)

Prerequisite: Mastery of Algebra I

Eligibility: 9, 10, 11, 12

The Geometry course emphasizes reasoning and logical thinking.  A formal approach is used including coordinate, synthetic and transformational geometry, connections to algebra, data analysis, probability, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and the incorporation of two-column proofs throughout the course.  To be successful in this course, a student needs to have average to above average reading comprehension and writing skills.  Honors Geometry involves a more in-depth study of the theorems and proofs.  Geometry challenges the student to draw conclusions from hypotheses involving abstract concepts.  

Honors Geometry (Bob Jones)

Prerequisite: Honors Geometry-A in Algebra I

Eligibility: 9, 10, 11, 12

The Honors Geometry courses emphasize reasoning and logical thinking.  A formal approach is used including coordinate, synthetic and transformational geometry, connections to algebra, data analysis, probability, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and the incorporation of two-column proofs throughout the course.  To be successful in this course, a student needs to have average to above average reading comprehension and writing skills.  Honors Geometry involves a more in-depth study of the theorems and proofs.  Geometry challenges the student to draw conclusions from hypotheses involving abstract concepts.  

Algebra II /Honors Algebra II (Saxon) 

Prerequisite: Mastery of Algebra I; Honors-A in algebra I

Eligibility: 10, 11, 12

The Algebra II course is a continuation in the study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities and matrices.  Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. 

AP Computer Science A (SevenStar Online)

Prerequisite: A in Algebra I, A in Geometry, A in Algebra II, 4.0 GPA

Students will play the role of a "survivor" while they work their way through the course material. AP Computer Science A is a college-level computer course covering the applications of computing within the context of programming methodology, algorithms, and data structures. This is a one-year course and students will be able to take the College Board Computer Science A examination in May. The computer language that will be used is Java, which is a free download for either a Macintosh or a Windows platform. 

• Design and implement computer-based solutions to problems in a variety of application areas.
• Use and implement well-known algorithms and data structures.
• Develop and select appropriate algorithms and data structures to solve problems.
• Code fluently in an object-oriented paradigm using the programming language Java.
• Use the standard Java library classes from the AP Java subset.
• Read and understand a large program consisting of several classes and interacting objects. 
• Identify the major hardware and software components of a computer system, their relationship to one another, and the roles of these components within the system.
• Recognize the ethical and social implications of computer use.

Consumer Math: Virtual School (Ignitia)

Prerequisite: Algebra I

Credit earned: 1 credit

This course reviews basic math concepts, teaches students to plan and organize personal finances, and examines loans and credit cards.  Useful topics like taxes, insurance, and retirement are also discussed. Students learn important money management skills.

Advanced Functions and Modeling (Key Curriculum Press)

Prerequisite: Algebra II

Eligibility: 11, 12

In the Advanced Modeling Functions course, students are provided with an in depth-study of modeling and applying functions.  They will be expected to use logarithmic functions, to graph exponential functions, and to apply the trigonometric functions.  Students learn to convert between rectangular and polar coordinates.    

Pre-Calculus (Saxon)

Prerequisite: 10^th graders- 80 in Algebra II; 11^th graders-90 in Algebra II

Eligibility: 11, 12

The Pre-Calculus course fully integrates topics from geometry, algebra, trigonometry, discrete mathematics and mathematical analysis. Students work progressively on more elaborate word problems throughout the problem sets. Students will be able to solve challenging problems such as abstract quantities and rate problems.  

Honors Finite Math (Cengage)

Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II,

Eligibility: 10,11,12

This course includes the study of: functions, matrices, linear programming, sets, probability, and statistics.

AP Calculus (Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, by Finney, 3rd Media Edition)

Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus; teacher recommendation

Eligibility: 12

After a condensed, intensive review of the algebra, trigonometry and analytic geometry topics, necessary for success in Calculus, the Calculus course covers topics in the syllabus for the College Board’s Advanced Placement AB Calculus exam.  First semester deals with the above review topics in addition to a study of functions, limits, released rates and interpretation, application of integrals and slope fields.  Students are encouraged to take the AB Calculus Exam given in May. The main goal of this third edition is to realign with the changes in the Advanced Placement (AP) calculus syllabus and the new type of AP exam questions. To do this, the follow updates are included the Media Update:
