Algebra 1A

Prerequisite:  In-coming grade 9 EXPLORE exam score and previous coursework record or grade 10 students who have completed Beginning Algebra.

Algebra 1A is a fast-paced first year high school algebra course that begins with solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities.  Students must already have an understanding of the language of algebra to continue their studies of polynomials and their factors, quadratic equations, rational expressions, radicals, and rational functions.  Students utilize technology for linear and quadratic modeling and receive an introduction to probability, data analysis and statistics.

Pre-Calculus H

Prerequisite:  Algebra 2/Trig (H) with a grade of "C".

This is the third course in the accelerated/honors math program for students in grades 10-11 who complete the study of algebra and trigonometry.  Students learn polynomial, logarthmic and exponential functions, vectors, complex numbers, conic sections, linear programming, introduction to limits, and mathematical analysis.  This course is designed to preare students for either AP Calculus AB or BC, and should be taken by students who need Calculus to fulfill the requirements for their college mathematics, science, or engineering major.
