201 Math 6/5
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math 6/5
Prerequisite: teacher recommendation
Math 6/5 includes advanced lessons on divisibility, integers, prime and
composite numbers, powers, roots, and probability. |
|
202 Math 7/6
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math 7/6
Prerequisite: teacher recommendation
This course is designed to introduce new concepts a student will need
for upper-level algebra and geometry. Lessons expand the hands-on
activities introduced in the primary and intermediate levels while
placing an emphasis on content. |

203 Math 8/7
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math 8/7
Prerequisite: teacher recommendation
This course is designed to build on arithmetic calculation,
measurements, basic geometry and other foundational concepts and skills.
Extensive pre-algebra exercises are included. |

Pre-Algebra (Algebra ½)
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math
Prerequisite: 22
Pre-algebra covers all topics normally taught in pre-algebra, as well as
additional topics from geometry and discrete mathematics (used in
engineering and computer sciences). With pre-algebra, students can
deepen their understanding of pre-algebraic topics.
Pre-algebra includes: instruction and enrichment on such topics as
compressions, approximating roots, polynomials, advanced graphing, basic
trigonometry.
This course will review and work with arithmetic skills and apply them
to algebra and geometry. This course is designed to automate the use of
factions, mixed numbers, and decimals in all operations; automate
procedures for solving simple word problems. Concepts of area, percent,
ratio, and order of operations are introduced and the beginning concepts
of algebra are practiced thoroughly. Fundamentals of geometry and
real-world topics about percent and ratio will be covered. |

221 Algebra I
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math Algebra I
Prerequisite: Pre Algebra or teacher recommendation
This course covers all topics in a first year algebra course, from
proofs, statistics, and probability to algebra-based real-world
problems. Students begin developing the more complex skills and
understanding required for advanced mathematics.
Signed numbers, integer exponents, solving equations and system of two
linear equations in two unknowns and their graphs will all be heavily
emphasized. Basic geometry-perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of
irregular geometric solids are addressed throughout the course. Students
completing algebra I will have studied the equivalent of one semester of
informal geometry. Other topics include scientific notation, ratio,
percent, variation problems and unit conversion. Problem solving is
emphasized throughout the course. |

231 Algebra II
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math Algebra II
Prerequisite: Algebra I or teacher recommendation
Algebra II covers all topics that are traditionally covered in
second-year algebra. All concepts of geometry are covered in depth as is
right triangle trigonometry, conversions form rectangular-to-polar and
polar-to-rectangular coordinates, addition of vectors, similar
triangles, problems on linear equations, Students completing Algebra II
will have studied the equivalent of one semester of informal geometry.
Ample time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof
outlines. Real-world problems are included along with applications to
other subjects such as physics and chemistry. This course completes the
automation of the fundamental skills of algebra. Solving uniform motion
and chemical mixture problems are emphasized. |
