Course Descriptions - Mathematics
The study of Mathematics provides a glimpse of the basics of the creative attributes of God. Through mathematics, students have the opportunity to better understand the world around them and the God of order and logic. They can further appreciate their world and the universe God created. The math curriculum teaches students how to apply mathematic concepts in everyday life and to further their growth in abstract reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving. Students will discover the workings of mathematics in many disciplines and careers. The math program will help students develop skills required to function in daily situations and prepare those students who desire to pursue studies in advanced mathematics in college or university. CONSUMER MATH
Math – Meets Graduation Requirement Only Grades 10-12 Full Year
This course is designed to provide students with
the instructional and practice material that will enable them to maintain
personal financial records. The student will be exposed to budgeting, income
taxes, banking services; health, automobile, and life insurance; calculating
payments on loans, and consumer rights.
The course will also explore systems of measurement; acquiring and
maintaining housing, and various other personal finance matters. PRE-ALGEBRA
Math – Meets Graduation Requirement Only Grade
9 Full Year
This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamental
concepts which are necessary for success in Algebra I. Students will be
instructed in decimals, integers, equations, inequalities, geometry, ratio,
proportion, coordinate planes, areas, volume, square root, probability,
statistics, and polynomials. ALGEBRA 1
Math – College Prep Grade 9-10 Full Year
Prerequisite: Freshmen are required to pass an entrance exam
This course delves into the basic concept of
function and reinforces algebraic thinking. Topics covered include slope, graphs,
linear and quadratic equations, exponential functions, polynomials, rational
expressions, and radicals. Projects using a graphing calculator will explore
applications of algebra and analysis.
A passing grade in this course is required
for graduation. GEOMETRY
Math
– College Prep Grades 9-12 Full Year
Prerequisite: Freshman are required to pass an entrance exam. Other grade levels require Algebra I
with grades of C’s or better both semesters
Students in this course will concentrate on solving
problems through algebraic and spatial thinking. This traditional course in
plane and spatial geometry includes the following areas of study:
reasoning/logic, proofs, ratio and proportion, properties of triangles,
quadrilaterals, area, volume, transformations, circles, polygons, coordinate
geometry, and right angle trigonometry. Students will demonstrate their understanding
of geometry concepts in various forms. ALGEBRA II/TRIGONOMETRY
Math
– College Prep Grades 10-12 Full Year
Prerequisite: Geometry with grades of C’s or
better both semesters
The second year of algebra develops mastery of
algebraic skills required for further progress in mathematics and for number
literacy in society. After reviewing principles of equations and functions
covered in Algebra I, the course will continue a study of exponentials,
quadratic functions and graphs, real and complex number systems, logarithms,
sequences, probabilities, matrices with determinants, and trigonometric
functions. PRE-CALCULUS
Math
– College Prep Grades 11-12 Full Year
Prerequisite: Algebra II/Trig with grades of C’s
or better both semesters
This advanced course includes the content of
advanced trigonometry and analytic geometry, as well as matrix algebra,
exponential and logarithmic functions, polynomial functions, limits, and conic
sections. AP CALCULUS
Math
– Advanced Placement College Prep Grade 12 Full Year
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus with grades of B’s or
better both semesters or Administrator approval. All students are required to successfully complete the
summer assignment.
This course is intended for qualified
students and is equivalent to an entry-level college course which covers first
semester college calculus. It includes inequalities, absolute value, domains,
derivatives of polynomial functions, a study of limits, continuity, chain rule
for derivatives, curve sketching, maxim and minim problems, integration, and
applications of integration. Second semester studies will include circular
functions, infinite series, polar equations, vectors, and parametric equations.
Students are required to take the AP Exam in May. Those who receive a score of 3, 4, or 5 may be eligible to
receive college credit.
