Math (Saxon)
5th  (Intermediate Math)
Saxon Math's integrated and distributed instructional plan helps all students achieve mastery of the standards by building in TIME to learn, TIME to process, and TIME to practice.
This course reinforces and builds foundational concepts, supplies real world problem solving and applications, and teaches students to communicate mathematically.

6th (Course I)
The Saxon Math curriculum is used in this class. Saxon Math breaks down mathematical concepts into small, easily digested pieces presented over several lessons. It is designed to give learners continual practice of information throughout the year.  New concepts that will be needed for upper-level algebra and geometry are introduced. After every tenth lesson is an investigation - an extensive examination of a specific math topic, discussed at length using observation and analysis to ensure solid understanding. 

7th – 8th
Math 87

The Math 87 is an accelerated Math course which strengthens foundational math facts, mental math and problem solving skills learned.  Pre-Algebra topics including equations, inequalities, geometry, graphing and critical thinking in problem solving are introduced in preparation for Pre-Algebra or Algebra I.  Students will be on track to take Algebra ½ or Algebra 1 depending on their achievement in Math 87.

Course 3
The Course 3 is an accelerated pre-algebra course. The curriculum is designed to move students from concrete math concepts to abstract concepts of algebra including geometry, discrete mathematics and graphing in preparation for algebra.

Algebra 1
The Algebra I course concentrates on the fundamental aspects of problem solving and the development of personal discipline to maximize the mathematical talents of the student.  The course covers many topics including number systems, rules and procedures for expressions and equations, inequalities, graphing in the Cartesian coordinate system, word problems, unit conversions, statistics and beginning geometry.  Some topics are introduced and developed to a complex level, while others are introduced and will be developed in the Algebra II course.

Algebra 1 Honors
The Algebra 1 Honors course is accelerated for students who have demonstrated exceptional mastery of math concepts. The curriculum includes a review of basic pre-algebra topics with instruction in proofs, statistics, and probability. It challenges students to develop more complex skills and the understanding required for higher level high-school mathematics.  The course covers many topics including number systems, rules and procedures for expressions and equations, inequalities, graphing in the Cartesian coordinate system, word problems, unit conversions, statistics and beginning geometry.  Some topics are introduced and developed to a complex level, while others are introduced and will be developed in the Algebra II course. Students will be on track to take Honors Geometry or Geometry depending on their achievement in Algebra I.


Pre-Algebra: Virtual School (Alpha Omega)
Prerequisite: None
Eligibility: 9
The Pre-Algebra course is a preparatory course for Algebra I.  The review of essential algebra and geometry concepts helps students master and remember concepts for a long time.

Algebra I (Saxon)
Prerequisite: Mastery of pre-algebra or equivalent course
Eligibility: 9, 10, 11, 12
The Algebra I course concentrates on the fundamental aspects of problem solving and the development of personal discipline to maximize the mathematical talents of the student.  The course covers many topics including number systems, rules and procedures for expressions and equations, inequalities, graphing in the Cartesian coordinate system, word problems, unit conversions, statistics and beginning geometry.  Some topics are introduced and developed to a complex level, while others are introduced and will be developed in the Algebra II course.

Geometry (SAXON)
Prerequisite: Geometry – mastery of Algebra I
Eligibility: 9, 10, 11, 12
The Geometry course emphasizes reasoning and logical thinking.  A formal approach is used including coordinate, synthetic and transformational geometry, connections to algebra, data analysis, probability, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and the incorporation of two-column proofs throughout the course.  To be successful in this course, a student needs to have average to above average reading comprehension and writing skills.  Honors Geometry involves a more in-depth study of the theorems and proofs.  Geometry challenges the student to draw conclusions from hypotheses involving abstract concepts. 

Honors Geometry (Bob Jones)

Prerequisite: Honors Geometry – A in Algebra I
Eligibility: 9, 10, 11, 12
The Honors Geometry courses emphasize reasoning and logical thinking.  A formal approach is used including coordinate, synthetic and transformational geometry, connections to algebra, data analysis, probability, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and the incorporation of two-column proofs throughout the course.  To be successful in this course, a student needs to have average to above average reading comprehension and writing skills.  Honors Geometry involves a more in-depth study of the theorems and proofs.  Geometry challenges the student to draw conclusions from hypotheses involving abstract concepts. 

Algebra II /Honors Algebra II (Saxon)

Prerequisite: mastery of Algebra I
Eligibility: 10, 11, 12
The Algebra II course is a continuation in the study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities and matrices.  Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems.

AP Computer Science A (SevenStar)
Prerequisite: A in Algebra I, A in Geometry, A in Algebra II, 4.0 GPA
Students will play the role of a "survivor" while they work their way through the course material. AP Computer Science A is a college-level computer course covering the applications of computing within the context of programming methodology, algorithms, and data structures. This is a one-year course and students will be able to take the College Board Computer Science A examination in May. The computer language that will be used is Java, which is a free download for either a Macintosh or a Windows platform.

Consumer Math: Virtual School (Alpha Omega)
Prerequisite: Algebra I
Credit earned: 1 credit
This course reviews basic math concepts, teaches students to plan and organize personal finances, and examines loans and credit cards.  Useful topics like taxes, insurance, and retirement are also discussed. Students learn important money management skills.

Advanced Functions and Modeling (Cengage)

Prerequisite: Algebra II
Eligibility: 11, 12
In the Advanced Modeling Functions course, students are provided with an in depth-study of modeling and applying functions.  They will be expected to use logarithmic functions, to graph exponential functions, and to apply the trigonometric functions.  Students learn to convert between rectangular and polar coordinates.   

Pre-Calculus (Saxon)
Prerequisite: 10th graders- 80 in Algebra II; 11th graders-90 in Algebra II
Eligibility: 11, 12
The Pre-Calculus course fully integrates topics from geometry, algebra, trigonometry, discrete mathematics and mathematical analysis. Students work progressively on more elaborate word problems throughout the problem sets. Students will be able to solve challenging problems such as abstract quantities and rate problems.  

AP Calculus (Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, by Finney, 3rd Media Edition)

Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus; teacher recommendation
Eligibility: 12
After a condensed, intensive review of the algebra, trigonometry and analytic geometry topics, necessary for success in Calculus, the Calculus course covers topics in the syllabus for the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) program for calculus.  First semester deals with the above review topics in addition to a study of functions, limits, released rates and interpretation, application of integrals and slope fields.  Students are encouraged to take the AP Calculus Exam given in May. The main goal of this third edition is to realign with the changes in the Advanced Placement (AP*) calculus syllabus and the new type of AP* exam questions. To do this, the follow updates are included the Media Update:

Trigonometry – Virtual School (Alpha Omega)
Prerequisite: Algebra 2
Credit earned: ½
This course teaches students to develop trigonometric functions and use them in “real world” applications.  The course’s topics include right angle trigonometry, graphing, and trigonometric identities, the laws of sines and cosines, and polar coordinates.
