MATHEMATICS – 200

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.

204 – General Math
Credit: .5 per semester
Meets Daily (5 times per week)
Text: Saxon Math
Prerequisite: teacher recommendation
All high school math classes are individualized to student’s ability in math. Takes students from their present benchmark and brings them closer to current grade placement.

211 – 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.
