Mathematics( continued)
Course Name: Geometry Type of Course: Core Course Available to: 9th and 10th grade Prerequisites: MS-HS Honors Algebra( 70 %- 84 %)
Description: This is the second course in a sequence of three high school courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. This course is intended to enhance students’ geometric, algebraic, graphical, and probabilistic reasoning skills. Students will apply their algebraic and geometric reasoning skills to make sense of problems involving geometry, trigonometry, algebra, probability, and statistics. Students will continue to enhance their analytical geometry and reasoning skills when analyzing and applying a deep understanding of polynomial expressions, proofs, constructions, rigid motions and transformations, similarity, congruence, circles, right triangle trigonometry, geometric measurement, and conditional probability.
Course Name: Honors Geometry Available to: 9th and 10th grade
Prerequisites: MS-HS Honors Algebra( 85 %+)
Type of Course: Core Course
Description: This is an accelerated college prep course that covers all the standards included in the onlevel Geometry course with a few additional standards and explores the concepts at a deeper level. This course is designed to prepare students for Advanced Placement mathematics courses. Students earn an additional 0.5 quality point towards their GPA for this course.
Science
Course Name: Environmental Science Type of Course: Core Course
Available to: 9th grade
Prerequisites: Science 8
Description: This course is designed as an integrated and global approach to science and technology. The concepts in this course focus on the links between living things, their surroundings, and the total environment of the planet. This course will integrate the study of many components of our environment, including the human impact on our planet. Students will investigate the flow of energy and cycling of matter within ecosystems, and evaluate types, availability, allocation, and sustainability of energy resources.
