This course builds on the foundation of the first term in honors geometry. As in previous courses, deductive and inductive reasoning are emphasized, while applying problem-solving techniques to real-world problems. Students explore quadrilaterals and circles and learn how an object is transformed, as well as how to represent that transformation algebraically and geometrically. Students calculate … Read more
Honors students are expected to complete several assignments within each module that demonstrate their knowledge of the applications of geometry. Geometry Honors is the study of the measurement of the world, with a focus on application of geometric concepts. What makes geometry so engaging is the relationship of figures and measures to each other,and how … Read more
In the second semester of Honors Algebra I, students focus on exponential and quadratic functions. They will learn how to read, write, and graph these function types. They will also learn where they can find exponential and quadratic functions in their own worlds. In this semester, special attention is given to making meaningful comparisons of … Read more
In the honors course, students will do in-depth study, problem-solving, and application of algebraic concepts. Students begin the first semester of Algebra I with a review of the basic tools of algebra, including properties of operations, combining like terms, and solving simple equations and inequalities. More complex concepts are built on these basics. Students learn … Read more
Pre-Calculus Semester B covers the major units of introductory trigonometry and graphs, trigonometric equations and identities, analytical trigonometry, sequences and series, conic sections, and an introduction to calculus. A focus is also on graphing functions by hand and understanding and identifying the parts of a graph
In this course, students will understand and apply concepts, graphs, and applications of a variety of families of functions, including polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, logistic, and trigonometric. An emphasis will be placed on use of appropriate functions to model real-world situations and solve problems that arise from those situations. A focus is also on graphing functions … Read more
This course focuses on the mathematics involved in making wise consumer decisions. Students explore the many ways in which mathematics affects their daily lives. The first semester will cover paychecks and wages, taxes, insurance, budgets, bank accounts, credit cards, interest calculations, and comparison shopping. Second semester topics include vehicle and home purchasing, investing, and business … Read more
