Department Notes:

• Course placement will be determined by course history. • Students must complete a course sequence of mathematics that allows them to meet the Minnesota State Math Standards and

Mounds View Public Schools Academic Standards for Intermediate Algebra, Geometry, and Advanced Algebra. • Graphing calculators are recommended in all mathematics courses. We recommend the TI-83 or TI-84. These are the calculators teachers use for instruction. • All UMTYMP students are required to take at least one semester of Statistics in order to fulfill graduation requirements.

Intermediate Algebra

Course Numbers: 3464 & 3465 Grade: 9 Credit: 1.0 NCAA Note: This course is NCAA eligible.

This course will focus on quadratics, exponents and exponential models, functions, and polynomials. It will also include the study of data exploration and a review of linear functions.

Geometry

Course Numbers: 3455 & 3456 Grades: 9, 10 Credit: 1.0 Recommended: Intermediate Algebra (3464 & 3465) or teacher recommendation. NCAA Note: This course is NCAA eligible.

Geometry in two and three dimensions is studied through investigation, conjecture, and proof. Students will explore geometry through use of dynamic geometry software. Topics include inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, construction, symmetry, transformations, congruence, similarity, Pythagorean Theorem, area, volume, and right triangle trigonometry.

Advanced Algebra

Course Numbers: 3405 & 3406 Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12 Credit: 1.0 Prerequisite: Geometry (3455 & 3456), concurrent enrollment in Geometry, or teacher recommendation. NCAA Note: This course is NCAA eligible.

This course builds on students’ Intermediate Algebra skills. Topics include sequences, recursive formulas, linear models, linear systems, families of functions, transformations, exponents, matrices, polynomials, triangle trigonometry, probability, and statistics.

Focused Math

Course Number: 3454 Grade: 11 Credit: .5 Recommended: Students should be concurrently enrolled in additional year-long math course. Note: This is a one-semester course.

Through this course students will increase content knowledge in six discrete content areas which correlate with the ACT: Pre-Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry.

ARCC College Algebra

Course Numbers: 8401 & 8402 Grades: 11, 12 Credit: 1.0 Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra (3405 & 3406) with a minimum grade of C or higher. Note: This is an Anoka-Ramsey Community College course offered at Mounds View High School. Students will earn 3 college credits for MATH 1200 College Algebra I, upon successful completion. This course fulfills the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Goal 4: Mathematical/Logical Reasoning. Students can enroll for both college and high school credit. NCAA Note: This course is NCAA eligible.

This course is designed for college-bound students interested in earning college credit for a math course. Topics include: functions, systems of equations and inequalities, linear programming, sequences, series, probability, and mathematical modeling.
