| Pre-Algebra | 1.0 Credit |
|
This
elective credit course is designed only for students who haven't shown
proficiency at the essential level of the Florida Math Standards. Topics
include: ratio and proportion, percents, measurements, integers,
exponents, linear equations in one variable, graphing, absolute value,
and basic geometry concepts. Students successfully completing this
course with a "C" or higher should be prepared to take Algebra I. This
course DOES NOT cover material essential to meeting or exceeding the
Florida Math Standards at the proficiency level and REQUIRES teacher
recommendation for enrollment. |
|
| Consumer Math | 1.0 Credit |
|
This
elective credit course provides the student with a review of the
fundamental computational operations. At the same time, students will
work with applications of mathematics in everyday life. Topics to be
studied include: personal finance, housing, transportation, taxes,
insurance, investments, purchasing and budgeting. Calculators will be
used extensively. |
|
| Algebra I | 1.0 Credit |
|
This course is designed
for the student who can independently use and apply the basic skills of
arithmetic. The course introduces the student to the basic structure of
Algebra through the use and application of real numbers, inequalities,
factoring, polynomials, linear and quadratic equations, and graphs.
Appropriate technology will be used to enhance mathematical
understanding and problem solving skills. Students who successfully
complete this course with a grade of "C" or higher should be prepared to
take Geometry. |
|
| Geometry | 1.0 Credit |
|
This course introduces the
student to the deductive method of proof with the use of points, lines,
and planes. Solid geometry is integrated with plane geometry to lead the
student to consideration of two-and three-dimensional figures and to
develop the ability to visualize space relationships. Students who
successfully complete this course with a grade of "C" or higher should
be prepared for Algebra II. |
|
| Algebra II | 1.0 Credit |
|
This course begins with a
review of Algebra I topics and introduces the following new topics:
matrices, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic functions, conic
sections, higher degree polynomial functions, sequences and series, and
trigonometry. This course is required for students who are planning to
attend most post-secondary institutions. |
|
| Trigonometry | 1.0 Credit |
|
This honors level course
will focus on the study of angles; the trigonometry of angles and real
numbers; the trigonometric functions and their inverses including their
graphs; solutions of right and oblique triangles; verification of
fundamental identities and analytic trigonometry; addition, subtraction
and multiple angle formulas; the laws of sines and cosines; vectors and
the dot and cross product; complex numbers, De Moivre’s Theorem and nth
roots of complex numbers; polar coordinates and equations. The course
will also include the study of functions including exponential and
logarithmic functions. |
|
| Pre-Calculus | 1.0 Credit |
|
This course is designed to
complete the student's pre-calculus training. Topics from trigonometry
and higher algebra are reviewed and/or extended. A study of analytic
geometry is included. Basic calculus concepts including limits,
derivatives, continuity and integrals will be developed. The course is
designed for those capable students who have completed Algebra II.
Students successfully completing this course with a grade of "C" or
higher should be prepared to take Calculus. |
|
| Calculus | 1.0 Credit |
|
This course includes a
thorough study of differentiation and integration with many
applications. Limits and continuity are investigated in-depth. The
course will emphasize the importance of mathematics studied to date.
After completion of this course, the student may wish to take the
Advanced Placement Test. Payment Plans Available** |
