LEARNING SUPPORT

LEARNING LAB 1

Course Number: 145 Grade level: 9-10

Credit Value: 1 (pass/fail) Prerequisite: Placement from the Learning Support Staff The high school Learning Lab course has been designed to assist students in various academic areas. The program reinforces student learning and helps develop the essential skills that a high school student needs in order to meet the various goals of each course. Learning Lab is an elective class that provides curriculum support for Math and English classes. In the Learning Lab, students receive individual and small-group instruction. Additionally, the Learning Support teacher closely monitors each student’s classroom performance by conducting limited inclusion support within Math and English courses and also by partnering with classroom teachers. Registration for this course is made by teacher placement only.

MATH LAB 1 Course Number:

Grade level: 9

Credit Value: 1 Prerequisite: Teacher Placement Math Lab 1 provides targeted instruction to support progress in math. These supports may include pre-teaching, re-teaching, direct instruction, accommodations and the use of web-based accelerated math programs. This course is a study of the real number system, dealing with such topics as rationals, integers, laws of exponents, radicals, polynomials, factoring, fractional equations, linear functions, graphing, and their applications with real life problems. This course also includes topics from Geometry including coordinate geometry and trigonometry. A graphing calculator is required for this course. The ultimate goal of the Math Lab course sequence is to support and prepare students to rejoin Nido’s mainstream program, but the class will still provide comprehensive skill building for those students who remain in the Math Lab sequence for all four years of high school. A graphing calculator is required for this course. Math Lab 1 is not adequate preparation for any IB course. Registration for this course is made by teacher placement only.

MATH LAB 2 Course Number:

Grade level: 10

Credit Value: 1 Prerequisite: Teacher Placement Math Lab 2 provides targeted instruction to support progress in math. These supports may include pre-teaching, re-teaching, direct instruction, accommodations and the use of web-based accelerated math programs. This course is a study of the real number system, dealing with such topics as quadratic equations, graphing, and their applications with real life problems. This course also includes topics from; Probability: Simple probabilities and compound events; Statistics: Measures of center and spread, graphs and their applications with real life problems and Geometry: Volume and surface area of solids. A graphing calculator is required for this course. Math Lab 2 is not adequate preparation for any IB course. Registration for this course is made by teacher placement only.

MATH LAB 3

Course Number: 3057 Grade level: 11

Credit Value: 1 Prerequisite: Teacher Placement Math Lab 3 provides targeted instruction to support progress in math.
