Math Standards Tutoring
Prerequisites: None
Special Aspects: Required for those who score "Basic" or "Below Basic" on the Math section of the ISAT. Does not count as a Math credit; it is an elective credit.
Abstract: This class provides assistance for students lacking the the math skills needed to pass the ISAT test.
Pre Algebra A
Prerequisites: 8th grade math.
Special Aspects: Students may not take this course if they have completed Algebra 1A with a grade of C or better.
Abstract: Pre Algebra A is one of the lowest levels of math taught in high school. This course is the same as Pre Algebra taught in the junior high school. Upon the completion of Pre Algebra A a student should be ready for the introduction of algebraic expressions. Math at this level does not meet most post-secondary requirements for college entrance, NCAA eligibility, etc. Great care must be used in regards to future plans when this level of math is used to fulfill high school graduation requirements.
Pre Algebra B
Prerequisites: Pre Algebra 1A.
Special Aspects: Would be best if taken immediately upon completion of Pre Algebra 1A. Students may not take this course if they have completed Algebra 1A with a grade of C or better.
Abstract: Pre Algebra B will provide the student with awareness of what Algebra 1A will involve. Negatives, unknowns and variables will be introduced. Math at this level does not meet most post-secondary requirements for college entrance, NCAA eligibility, etc. Great care must be used in regards to future plans when this level of math is used to fulfill high school graduation requirements.
Preparation for Algebra
Prerequisites: Pre Algebra B, either in junior high or high school.
Special Aspects: Does not meet many post-secondary math requirements including admission to most colleges, NCAA eligibility, etc.
Abstracts: Intended for those students who feel they need more background and preparation before they take Algebra 1. Math at this level does not meet most post-secondary requirements for college entrance, NCAA eligibility, etc. Great care must be used in regards to future plans when this level of math is used to fulfill high school graduation requirements.
Business Math A
Prerequisites: None.
Abstract: Business math is a course in which students use their basic mathematical skills in solving many types of problems related to business operations. Computing interest under various scenarios, Gross and Net Pay, computing taxes and insurance, cash records and checking accounts, savings account, charge accounts and credit cards, housing and automobile costs, loans, etc. are examples.
Business Math BPrerequisites: Business Math A.
Abstract: Business Math B continues exposing students to problems they might encounter in business. Topics include: transportation, property taxes, profit and loss in a business, buying and selling goods, working with budgets, providing services, accounting concepts, and other small business problems. Students will participate in simulations and experiences that directly correlate with the business world. Matt at this level does not meet most post-secondary requirements for college entrance, NCAA eligibility, etc. Great care must be used in regard to future plans when this level of math is used to fulfill high school graduation requirments!!
Algebra 1A
Prerequisites: 8th grade math or Pre Algebra.
Abstract: Algebra 1A is the introductory class in the advanced mathematics series. Fundamental emphasis is placed on sequential computations, variables and basic equation-solving skills.
Algebra 1B
Prerequisites: Algebra 1A
Special Aspects: should be taken shortly after Algebra 1A.
Abstract: this is the second course in the algebra series. It builds upon concepts introduced in Algebra 1A.
Plane Geometry A
Prerequisites: Algebra 1B
Abstract: This Math class is intended to be taken following Algebra a. This course introduces students to the solving of mathematical situation through the use of geometry. It is especially useful in the construction trades. Students who plan on attending a college or university are strongly encouraged to take Analytic Geometry following Algebra 2 as well as Plane Geometry.
Plane Geometry B
Prerequisites: Plane Geometry A.
Abstract: This course continues from Plane Geometry A.
Intermediate Algebra A
Prerequisites: Algebra 1B.
Abstract: This course is designed for those who are about to enter Plane Geometry, but are concerned that they may experience difficulty.
Calculus A
Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus (Analytic Geometry B)
Abstract: Calculus is designed for students whose career aspirations include those fields that require that calculus be taken in post-secondary education. This includes, but is not limited to, Applied Technical electronic areas, engineering of all types, computer programming, business, science, advanced medical fields, and some aspects of agriculture. Other fields such as psychology may require college calculus. Most of the better paying fields will require that students take calculus is college. Considerable time is spent in calculus on special graphs and abstract equations.
Calculus B
Prerequisites: Calculus A.
Abstract: This course continues on from Calculus A.
