COURSE OFFERINGS MATHEMATICS 1090 Algebra 1 Study Skills (9) 2.5 Credits 40 Minutes, 1 Semester This course will run concurrently with the Algebra 1 course. The study of Algebra requires students to explore the more abstract concepts of numeric relationships, representations and symbolism. The logical reasoning abilities developed during an algebra course promote deeper critical thinking and problem-solving prowess. This course will focus on supplemental curriculum to support the learning in the study of Algebra. Placement is by the Administrative Admissions Committee and is determined after a review by the Department Chairperson using student test scores, report cards and elementary school recommendations. This course will receive a Pass/Fail grade. 1100 Algebra 1 (9) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester This is a course which covers the traditional algebraic concepts of working with equations, inequalities, and polynomial expressions. Applications of the concepts will be stressed using real-life situations. (NCAA) 1110 Honors Algebra 1 (9) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester Honors Algebra 1 is an accelerated preparation for advanced theoretical mathematics. It is an indepth study of algebraic concepts and is designed for those students who have exhibited outstanding mathematical ability. Applications of the concepts will be stressed using real-life situations. (NCAA) 1200 Algebra 2 (9,10) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester Algebra 2 is a course that is designed to provide an indepth study of linear and quadratic equations. Applications of the concepts will be stressed using real life situations. (NCAA)
1210 Honors Algebra 2 (9,10) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester Honors Algebra 2 is an accelerated and comprehensive course. The approach is theoretical and provides an in-depth coverage of the concepts. Prerequisite: 85 average in Honors Algebra 1. (NCAA) 1300 Geometry (10, 11) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester Geometry is a course which covers the traditional concepts of Euclidean plane and solid geometry. (NCAA) 1310 Honors Geometry (10, 11) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester Honors Geometry is intended for students who excel in math and wish to continue their study of higher levels of mathematics. It covers Euclidean plane and solid geometry. As an honors course, it emphasizes creating constructions for various geometric concepts and writing formal geometric proofs, including coordinate proofs. Students should be highly motivated, as the instruction will be fasterpaced with an expectation of a strong algebra foundation and an ability to grasp all geometric postulates and theorems. Prerequisite: 80 average in Honors Algebra 2. (NCAA) 1400 Advanced Algebra (10, 11, 12) 5 Credits 80 Minutes, 1 Semester In conjunction with Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra offers an alternate route to Calculus. The units of study will focus on additional algebraic concepts, which will include but are not limited to functions, higher degree polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, conics, and matrices. Prerequisite: 70 average in both Algebra 2 and Geometry. (NCAA, Applied Science Concentration) 1410 Trigonometry (10, 11, 12) 2.5 Credits 40 Minutes, 1 Semester In conjunction with Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry offers an alternate route to Calculus. These topics include, but are not limited to, right triangle trigonometry, trigonometric functions, Laws of Sine and Cosine, and Analytic Trigonometry. Prerequisite: 70 average in both Algebra 2 and Geometry. (NCAA, Applied Science Concentration)
