Algebra I-Part 2 (2818 A – 2819 B)

Grade 10
1 year
Prerequisite: Algebra I—Part 1

This is an entry-level course that is a continuation of Algebra I-Part 1 used to illustrate to students the relevance of mathematics. Problem-solving situations are developed through meaningful, real-life applications of the mathematics the students are learning. Use of oral and written communication through such activities as projects, research papers, journals, portfolios, etc. are encouraged.

Algebra I (2770 A – 2780 B)

Grades 9, 10
1 year

This course includes understanding the use of the language of algebra, performing operations with real numbers, solving linear equations, graphing linear equations, solving linear inequalities, solving systems of equations, computation with polynomials, factoring polynomials, performing operations with algebraic fractions, solving expressions containing quadratic equations, and understanding the integrations of algebra with other mathematics.

Algebra I – Honors (2800 A – 2810 B)

Grades 9, 10
1 year
Prerequisite: “B” or higher in eighth grade Honors Math

The material taught in Algebra I is taught in greater depth. More emphasis is placed on theory and verbal problems.

Algebra II (2830 A – 2840 B)

Grades 11, 12
1 year
Prerequisite: Algebra I Recommended: “B” average in Algebra I and Geometry

This course includes working with the following: properties of real numbers, sets and set notation, equations and inequalities, graphing, systems of sentences, relations and functions, rational expressions, radicals and quadratic functions, complex numbers and quadratic equations, conic sections, and exponential and logarithmic functions.

Algebra II – Honors (2860 A – 2870 B)

Grades 11, 12
1 year
Prerequisite: “B” average in Algebra I and Geometry H or “A” average in Algebra I and Geometry

This course covers all topics presented in Average Algebra II in greater depth. Honors Algebra II dwells more heavily on theory, derivations, and word problems.

Algebra II – Gifted (7701 A – 7702 B)

1year

This course offers a sound development for the real number system through discussions of number sentences, relations, as well as linear, polynomial, and quadratic functions. Students investigate the nature of numbers. Work with sequences and series, probability, and matrices provides an extension to the scope of the students' mathematical experience. Algebra II for gifted students is characterized by compacting, accelerating, in-depth problem soving, and individualized pacing.
