Algebra 3 is a one semester course designed to follow Algebra 2.  The topics covered in Algebra 3 vary, based on the needs of the students enrolled.  Typically the course would include, but not be limited to, further study of system of linear equation, conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions and sequences and series.   Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math course.

2203    GEOMETRY                                      9,10,11              1.0        B- or better Algebra 1

This course is designed for those students who are (1) planning on a technical career or (2) planning on going to college, but do not intend to major in mathematics or science, or (3) have a genuine interest in mathematics but see no essential career use for it.  The course is designed to expand and unify the student’s previous geometry experiences.  Students are to become familiar with the relationships between plane and space figures.  The course does not stress proof but considers practical and numerical aspects of geometry by using concrete models.  Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math course.

2213    COLLEGE GEOMETRY                     9,10                           1.0      B or Better in Algebra 1

College Geometry is designed to acquaint students with some of the properties of plane and solid figures.  Students will also begin to learn to write formal mathematical proofs.  Concepts studied in Algebra l will be reviewed and extended.  The ideas of congruence, similarity, perpendicularity, and parallelism are studied and trigonometry is introduced.  Students who are planning to enter highly technical fields or who are planning to attend college should take this course.  Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math course.

2243    ALGEBRA 2A                                    10,11,12                        1.0                       Geometry or College Geometry                                                                                                                                   

This course covers the first half of the traditional Algebra 2 course.  Students explore logarithmic and exponential functions, rational functions, families of functions, conic sections.  Attention is given to graphing functions and relations.  Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math. 

2253    ALGEBRA 2B                                    11,12                            1.0          Algebra 2A

This course covers the second half of the traditional Algebra 2 course.  Students explore logarithmic and exponential functions, rational functions, families of functions, conic sections.  Attention is given to graphing and analyzing functions.  Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math course.

2233    COLLEGE ALGEBRA 2                   10,11,12                        1.0        B or better in College Geometry, B+ or better in Geometry or Teacher Recommendation

This course reviews algebraic topics covered in the first course in Algebra and extends them considerably.  Topics studied in depth include first and second degree equations and inequalities in one or more variables.  Students are introduced to complex numbers, conic sections, topics from the theory of equations, logarithms, trigonometric functions, probability, vectors, arithmetic and geometric series, and mathematical induction.  Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math course.

2300    TRIGONOMETRY                            11,12                            0.5           College Algebra 2 or Algebra 2

Trigonometry is a one-semester application oriented mathematics course.  Students study the relations of angles and sides of both right and oblique triangles.  Students graph trigonometric functions and solve trigonometric identities and equations.  The course is generally a part of any technical or apprenticeship training.  Ask current math teacher for recommendation for next math course.
