MATHI
Mathematics I
1 credit year long
The fundamental purpose of Mathematics I is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students
learned in the middle grades. The critical areas, organized into units, deepen and extend understanding
of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by
applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Mathematics 1 uses properties and theorems
involving congruent figures to deepen and extend understanding of geometric knowledge from prior
grades. The final unit in the course ties together the algebraic and geometric ideas studied. The
Mathematical Practice Standards apply throughout each course and, together with the content
standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that
makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.
Prerequisite: Data Percentiles
PMATH
Pre-Integrated Mathematics I
1 credit year long
The focus of Pre- Integrated Math is to introduce algebraic symbols, vocabulary and expressions; to
solve equations and inequalities; to study properties used in geometry. To provide the necessary
background for further studies in mathematics and other fields dependent on mathematics. Skills
include: To develop ideas in algebra, geometry, functions, matrices, logic and proofs, probability, and
growth models with and emphasis on using an integrated approach and additional background prior to
entering Integrated Pathway Mathematics I.

GEOM
Geometry
1 credit year long
Class of 2014-2016
This course deals mainly with plane geometry (in one surface), but also spends some time with solid
geometry. Inductive reasoning is stressed. Some topics covered are: angles, triangles (congruency
and similarity), polygons, circles, and spheres, the set of quadrilaterals, co-ordinate geometry,
mathematical proof, and basic trig functions.
Prerequisite: Algebra I
ALG2
Algebra II
1 credit year long
Class of 2014-2016
This course is an extension of Algebra I. However, the language and notation are more advanced.
Factoring, quadratic equations, systems of linear and quadratic equations, complex numbers, and
polynomial will be covered in this course. New topics include exponential functions, logarithms, and
matrices. Some statistics are included.
