AP COMPUTER SCIENCE A Grades 11 , 12 1 Credit ( 5144 ) AP
Prerequisite ( s ): Computer Programming ( 5141 ) or teacher recommendation The AP Computer Science A course is an introductory course in computer science . Because the design and implementation of computer programs to solve problems involve skills that are fundamental to the study of computer science , a large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs that correctly solve a given problem . These programs should be understandable , adaptable , and reusable . The design and implementation of computer programs is used as a context for introducing other important aspects of computer science , including the development and analysis of algorithms , the development and use of fundamental data structures , the study of standard algorithms and typical applications , and the use of logic and formal methods . Students enrolled in this course are required to take the AP exam at the end of the year .
FUNDAMENTAL MATH Grade 9 . 5 Credit ( 5105 ) CCP
MATH APPLICATIONS Grade 9 , 10 . 5 Credit ( 5162 ) CCP
ADVANCED MATH APPLICATIONS Grade 11 , 12 . 5 Credit ( 5163 ) CCP
Prerequisite ( s ): Concurrently with Algebra 1 ( 5113 ) and Teacher recommendation This course will assist students in grade 9 who require support in basic math skills . Teaching materials are adjusted to individual learning styles and instructional math levels . Fundamental Math can be taken up to two semesters for math credit .
Prerequisite ( s ): Concurrently with Algebra 1 ( 5113 ) or Geometry ( 5121 or 5122 ) This course covers a variety of topics designed to foster interest in , and show the applicability of , mathematics . Topics covered will come from all common core domains including algebra , geometry , probability , and statistics and will be used to solve realistic application problems . Concrete , algorithmic , graphical , and technological tools as well as a variety of representations will be used to solve problems . Students should strive to improve their ability to solve mathematical problems through hands-on practice and obtain an understanding of the strategies , tactics , and tools of the problem solver as illustrated by the instructor and instructional materials . Additional goals will be improving skills for SAT and Accuplacer tests and increasing skills for success in future math classes .
Prerequisite ( s ): Geometry ( 5121 or 5122 ) This course is designed to deepen student understanding of concepts related to Algebra , Geometry , and Statistics through problem-solving . Students will explore a variety of problem types including those found on the SAT . Throughout this course , students are given the opportunity to investigate mathematical
