Mathematics Offerings

This course is intended for those students who would wish to participate in a technical center program but do not have enough room in their schedule to fit a math class at their sending school. This program allows students to receive a full credit in the following subject areas: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II.

Pre-Algebra

$Mathematics$ Pre-Algebra is a full course that builds on basic arithmetic skills and prepared students for more advanced math courses such as Algebra I. We utilize up-to-date textbooks providing discovery activities, hands-on laboratories, real-world problems, and contextual learning strategies. Topics covered may include decimals, statistics, equations, rational numbers graphing, powers and roots, and measurement.

Algebra-I

$Mathematics$ Algebra I is a full year course that builds on experiences in Pre-Algebra and expands basic concepts of numbers into the broader areas of Algebra. As in Pre-Algebra, and using a textbook from the same series, discovery activities, hands-on laboratories, real-world problems, and contextual learning strategies provide a solid foundation. Topics covered may include vectors, scientific notation, linear equations, non-linear functions, statistics and probability, systems of equations, polynomials, and quadratic functions.

Algebra-II

$Mathematics$ Algebra II is a full year course requiring a solid background in Algebra I. We work from a textbook solidly grounded in real world applications of math and Algebra theory. An integrated approach to the material allows students to expand into areas of special interest. Topics may include equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of linear equations, polynomials, quadratic functions, exponential and logarithmic functions and trigonometric functions.

Geometry

Geometry is a full year course building on the student's background in Algebra and arithmetic skills. We continue with a textbook from the same series as our two Algebra courses. Logical reasoning and problem solving skills are enhanced with the hands-on laboratories and work related problems. Topics covered may include reasoning and proof, parallel lines and triangles, polygons and quadrilaterals, coordinate geometry and transformational geometry.
