CP Algebra II will begin with a review of basic algebra concepts, with an emphasis on solving equations and problem-solving. Topics studied in Algebra II include inequalities, linear equations, polynomials, factoring, polynomial equations, rational expressions, radicals, and complex numbers. Quadratic equations, polynomial equations, and logarithms will also be discussed.

This course includes all topics from the first half of the CP Algebra II curriculum. It will include numerous exercises and the extended time necessary to help students develop a deeper understanding of the topics. It will also provide students with the additional practice needed to reinforce these skills.

This course includes all topics from the second half of the CP Algebra II curriculum. It will include numerous exercises and the extended time necessary to help students develop a deeper understanding of the topics. It will also provide students with the additional practice needed to reinforce these skills.

Algebra 1 is considered the gateway course in mathematics. Students in this course will learn fundamental algebraic skills necessary for advancement into higher level math courses. Topics of study include the real number system, radical expressions, linear equations, linear inequalities, quadratic equations, factoring, and graphing algebraic functions. Real world applications are presented and are an integral component of the algebraic learning experience.

This course is designed to proactively support a student’s foundation of Algebra 1. In addition to receiving individual and group support in reaching proficiency on the Keystone, students will get support in foundational math skills which will set them up for later success in Geometry, Algebra 2, etc. Basic Algebra 1 skills (for example: factoring, combining like terms, rate of change) will be firmed up and give students a greater foundation to build upon later in their high school mathematics careers.

This course is designed to dive deeper into the application of Algebra 1 skills. Students will receive support for the Algebra 1 Keystone in the second semester of their 10th grade year. In addition to individual and group support in reaching proficiency on the Keystone, students will receive a greater focus on the in-depth application of Algebra 1 skills.

Advanced Placement Calculus will follow the outline for the Advanced Placement Course AB and BC as prescribed by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students are encouraged to earn college credit and possible advancement by demonstrating their competence on the AP examination in May. Although students are strongly encouraged to purchase their own graphing calculators, the school will provide TI-84 calculators for classroom use to those students who have not, or are unable to purchase one on their own.

This course will begin with a review of pre-calculus concepts. Some of the calculus topics discussed will include limits, differentiation, related rates, curve sketching, graphing, integration, logarithmic functions, exponential functions, optimization and area between curves. Applications of these topics will be included throughout the course.

Computer science embraces problem solving, hardware, algorithms, and perspectives that help people utilize computers to address real-world problems in contemporary life. Throughout the course, students will design, implement, and analyze solutions to problems. Students in AP Computer Science will use standard data structures, develop and select appropriate algorithms and data structures to solve new problems, write solutions fluently in an object-oriented paradigm, write, run, test, and debug solutions in the Java programming language, utilizing standard Java library classes and interfaces from the AP Java subset.

This course emphasizes the mathematical structure of geometry. It allows students to engage in and apply the foundational aspects of lines, planes, and shapes. Topics studied include: methods of reasoning, angle relationships, perpendicular and parallel lines, congruent and similar polygons, properties of polygons, right triangle trigonometry, area and volume of figures, circles, and coordinate geometry.

In this integrated course the projects drive the content that is presented. Traditionally, projects are devised to supplement the content that is being taught. Project completion times will have a range of 2-8 weeks based upon project complexity. Students will hone their higher level mathematical skills as “application” will be required at all times. Students will also learn to work in teams, compromise during decision making, and interact with mentors both in person and virtually. Students will continually be immersed in situations that force them to problem solve, critically think, and troubleshoot. Project examples include: Tic Tac Toe Manufacturing, Pumpkin Chucking, Materials Testing, Truss Bridge Building, Microcontroller Control, Infectious Disease Transmission, Rube Goldberg, and a research based project left to student choice.

Mathematical Logic and Reasoning is designed for the student to be able to understand the mathematics they are doing and explain their reasoning in writing. They will develop problem-solving strategies in order to be able to solve challenging problems, often called riddles or brain teasers. Students will collaborate with their peers in order to discuss, explain, and communicate their solutions to each other. Students will learn to logically work through problems and view the problems from different angles in order to arrive at a solution.

Pre-Calculus begins with a review of algebra topics. It is designed to provide a student with the basics of trigonometry (triangle solutions, inverse relations, trig function graphs, vectors, and trig equation solutions), analytic geometry (line, coordinate geometry, and conic sections), and an introduction to calculus concepts.

The goal of Honors Precalculus is to prepare students for AP Calculus. The concepts and topics examined are meant to deepen students’ understanding of algebraic concepts and expand their ability to process and think at higher abstract and conceptual levels. The curriculum will provide a comprehensive analysis of Trigonometry and Precalculus, building upon students’ prior mathematical knowledge. Topics examined include, but are not limited to Functions, Conic Sections, Matrices, Sequences & Series, the Unit Circle, Analytic Trigonometry, Vectors, Polar Coordinates, Parametric Equations, and Limits. All of the topics covered will be applied to real-world situations through life problems, projects, and writing assignments.

This course is divided into four major themes „ exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability, and statistical inference. The AP Statistics course will follow the outline for the Advanced Placement Course as prescribed by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students are encouraged to earn college credit and possible advancement by demonstrating their competence on the AP examination in May.

Statistics and Selected Topics is designed to provide a student with the basics of descriptive stats (measures of spread and location, histograms, distribution tables, and regression lines), probability, inferential stats (binomial and normal distributions, and hypotheses testing). Although students are encouraged to purchase their own calculators, the school will provide TI-84 calculators for classroom use to those students who have not purchased one on their own.
