MATH DEPARTMENT MAT001
Pre-Algebra
6
1 Credit
The Pre-Algebra course lays the foundation for all future math courses at Devon Prep. This course focuses on building the basic fundamentals that are needed to be successful in Algebra, including order of operations, making estimations, unit conversions, using formulas, solving equations and inequalities, and dealing with fractions, decimals, percentages, and exponents, and more. MAT002
Algebra I MS
7
1 Credit
This course covers a variety of topics that are essential for students who will move into Integrated Algebra I/II next year. We must establish a foundation for working with functions, fractions, solving equations and inequalities, understanding order of operations, properties of numbers and more. The daily class will consist of lecture, discussion, group work, individual work, and self-learning assignments. The first chapter of the book may be review for certain students while others may be seeing certain topics for the first time. MAT019
Geometry MS
8
1 Credit
The Geometry course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. Geometry is a mathematical discipline that broadens the student’s mathematical analytical skills. The concepts in the class include: inductive and deductive reasoning, transformations, Pythagorean Theorem, areas of geometric figures, coordinate plane, etc. Critical problem solving is developed throughout this course to prepare students for future mathematics courses. Prerequisite: Algebra I MS ENR001
Sports Analytics
7-8
1 Credit 1 Semester
Every sport that is played keeps track of how an athlete performs using statistics. In today’s world, the collection of relevant, historical statistics are being used to give teams and athletes a competitive edge over their opponents. In this class we will gather, analyze, create visualizations, and explain the significance of our statistics. Our goal will be to find a deeper understanding of what sports statistics really mean and how they change the way our favorite games are played at the professional level. MAT020
Algebra IB
8
1 Credit
This course presumes competence with the four basic operations with fractions and with positive/negative numbers, although some weaknesses in these areas can be supported. Familiarity with solving one-variable equations and with graphing linear equations in a coordinate plane is also presumed. The course begins with a review of these basics before moving to a more extensive study of graphing linear equations and inequalities, and moving into a thorough study of functions and function notation.
