- Honors Precalculus/AP Calculus A: This is an Honors/Advanced Placement level course. Honors Precalculus / AP Calculus A is a one-year accelerated course covering all topics in the regular Precalculus course, and advancing through introductory concepts of the Limit, instantaneous rate of change including differentiation, and applications. Students will develop the ability to apply the knowledge gained to real-world application of these ideas. This course is intended for students who wish to advance directly to AP Calculus BC the following academic year, or for any student who wishes to undertake a higher-level course than the regular Precalculus. This is an Honors/Advanced Placement course: the content will be more in-depth, and the pacing is faster than a Regular Advanced Mathematics class.
- Precalculus: This is an introductory-level course. The focus of Precalculus AB is problem-solving using mathematical models to represent real-world situations. Students will build upon and further explore expressions, equations, and functions learned in earlier math courses to develop patterns, take, or test conjectures, and try multiple representations. Students will learn about inverse functions and how restricting the domain of a function that is not always increasing or decreasing allows its inverse to be constructed. Students are introduced to vectors in the complex plane and gain fluency in transferring between rectangular and polar forms. dents will explore the properties of matrices as they apply matrix operations to solve equation systems and understand how matrices help solve real-world problems quickly and algorithmically. Students will apply their knowledge of trigonometry as they explore the unit circle and model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions. Students will solve real world problems involving the Laws of Sines and Cosines. Students will derive equations for conic sections from the definition of foci and by completing the square.
- Algebra I: This is an introductory-level course. In Algebra, students will see that certain properties that exist when working with expressions that represent numbers can now be written in an abstract form involving variables. Students will extend this knowledge to include absolute value equations, linear inequalities, and systems of linear equations. Also, they will be able to interpret functions that occur in applications including linear, quadratic, and exponential models.
