Explorations in Math II
(12055100) The purpose of this
course is to provide experiences in problem solving,
communication, reasoning, and connections in mathematics. Some
topics include number and operation sense, estimation, mental
mathematics, algebraic relationships, patterns and functions,
ratio and proportion, geometric relationships, measurement,
spatial relationships, statistics and probability,
appropriate use of calculators and other technology.
Pre-Algebra (12003001)
The purpose of this course is to
develop the mathematical concepts and processes that can be used
to solve a variety of real world and mathematical problems, with
emphasis on strengthening the skills and concepts needed for
success in Algebra I. Some topics are variables, number theory,
equations, and inequalities, rational numbers, exponents,
formulas, algebraic equations, and the Pythagorean theorem.
Algebra I (12003100)
This course provides the foundations for more advanced
mathematics courses. Some topics are
sets, variables, structure and properties of the real number
system, first-degree equations/inequalities, relations,
functions, graphs, systems of linear equations/inequalities,
integral exponents, polynomials, rational algebraic expressions.
Algebra I Honors (12003200) This
course provides a rigorous and in-depth study of Algebra I
emphasizing deductive reasoning skills. Topics include
operations and properties of the real number system;
algebraic/graphical solutions to first degree equations and
inequalities; relations and functions; quadratic
equations/inequalities/functions.

sequence of courses.
Algebra II (12003300)
This course is to continue the study of algebra. Some
topics are the review of extension of the
structure and properties of the real number system. Relations,
functions and graphs, polynomials and rational expressions,
irrational exponents, quadratic equations/inequalities,
functions, logarithms, and word problems.
Algebra II
Honors (12003400) This
course is an in-depth study of the topics of Algebra II with
emphasis on theory, proof, and development of formulas and their
applications. Some topics are

the study of lines, planes, angles, triangles, similarity,
congruence, geometric inequalities, polygons and circles, area
and volume, and constructions.
Geometry Honors (12063200) This
course is a rigorous in-depth study of Euclidean geometry
emphasizing methods of proof and the formal language of
mathematics. Topics include structure of geometry,
separation properties, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals,
perpendicular and parallel lines, polygons, circles and
topology, transformation and non-Euclidean geometry.
Trigonometry (12113000)
This course provides students with the study of circular and
trigonometric functions and their applications. Topics shall
include but not be limited to trigonometric identities, graphs
of trigonometric functions, inverse of circular functions,
particular and general solutions of trigonometric equations, and
solutions of right and oblique triangles and vectors.

mathematics. Topics include, but are not limited to,
elementary functions, hyperbolic functions, limits and
continuity, derivatives, differentiation including partial
differentiation, applications of the derivative, and
applications of the integral.
