COURSES OFFERED
 
MATH INTEGRATED 1
This is the first course of a three-part series that includes algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics. Topics include recognizing and developing patterns using tables, graphs and equations. Students will investigate linear relationships, including comparing and contrasting options and decision-making using algebraic models.

MATH INTEGRATED 2
This is the second course of a three-part series that includes algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics. It focuses on extending the number system to include irrational and complex numbers, as well as computation with quadratic polynomials. The course also introduces conditional probability as a way to make better decisions when given limited information.

MATH INTEGRATED 2 HONORS
This is an accelerated and challenging course designed for students who excel in math. It is the second course of a three-part series that includes algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics. It focuses on extending the number system to include irrational and complex numbers, as well as computation with quadratic polynomials. The course also introduces conditional probability as a way to make better decisions when given limited information.

MATH INTEGRATED 3
This is the final course of a three-part series that includes algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics. The goal is for students to develop an integrated understanding of all these areas of math, and develop support concepts, skills, problem solving, and reasoning.

PRE-CALCULUS
This course is designed to make use of trigonometric relations and functions to solve problems in the fields of engineering, architecture, astronomy, navigation, surveying, and space technology. It is recommended for students to take this course in preparation for AP Calculus AB.

AP CALCULUS AB
This is an intensive introductory college-level Calculus course. This course is designed to prepare students for the AP Calculus AB exam. It includes the study of limits, continuity, applications of differentiation, and applications of integrations. Definitions and theorems are rigorously explored and used to solve problems that require the use of these concepts. Some colleges accept a score of 3, 4 or 5 on the AP exam as college credit in this subject area. All students are expected to take the AP exam at the end of the course.

PROBABLITY/STATISTICS
This course is an introduction to the study of probability, interpretation of data, and fundamental statistical problem solving. Mastery of this academic content will provide students a solid foundation in probability and in processing statistical information. Binomial probability distribution and various other topics addressed by the standards will comprise this course. Students taking this course will learn to question the independence of two or more events, important in the fields such as marketing, medicine, and psychology.
 
AP STATISTICS
This is an intensive course in college-level statistics. This course introduces the students to topics in probabilities and statistics. These topics include data analysis, collecting data, finding the means of a sample, and comparing data. It also covers sampling and experimental design, the role of graphical displays as important components of data analysis, normal probability plots, and simulation. Some colleges accept a score of 3, 4 or 5 on the AP exam as college credit in this subject area. All students are expected to take the AP exam at the end of the course.

 

DUAL ENROLLMENT COLLEGE TRIGONOMETRY AND PRE-CALCULUS

This course counts as TWO YEARS of a math in high school (20 credits with honors designation), as well as a total of 7 Units of transferable college credit (Degree Applicable, CSU, UC). This course is designed to give students a thorough understanding of functions and their graphs; polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions; systems of equations; and an introduction to matrices, radian measure, equations and identities, inverse functions, and applications.

 

DUAL ENROLLMENT COLLEGE CALCULUS I AND CALCULUS II

This course counts as TWO YEARS of a math in high school (20 credits with honors designation), as well as a total of 8 Units of transferable college credit (Degree applicable CSU, UC). Calculus I is the first course in the calculus sequence. It includes limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications. In general, calculus is the study of change and Calculus II is differential and integral calculus with infinite series and applications. Includes applications of integration, techniques of integration, numerical integration, indeterminate forms and improper integrals, differential equations, and polar coordinates. Taking both courses will be equivalent to AP Calculus AB and BC.
