WSL100 WASL Math Prep
(0.5 credit, 1 semester) Prerequisite: Teacher permission
This course is intended for 10th grade students who are preparing to take the WASL and did not meet the standard on the 7th grade math WASL. The course will also reinforce good math study habits and assist students with their current math class. Enrollment will be open to 11th grade students on a space available basis (Priority is given to 10th grade students). Students enrolling in this course must register for another math class in the Integrated sequence.
MTH134 FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS
(0.5 credit, 1 semester)
This course is intended for 9th grade students who need review in basic math skills before enrolling in Pre-Integrated. This course will cover problem solving techniques, number relationships along with an introduction to operations with fractions and integers. Students will analyze and interpret given data. Other topics covered: probability and statistics, ratios, rates, percentages, and decimals. Basic plane geometric concepts will also be introduced.
MTH135 PRE-INTEGRATED
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Foundations of Mathematics or teacher recommendation.
This course is intended for students at the 9th grade level who need very little remediation in order to be successful in Integrated I. Topics covered include solving equations and inequalities, exploring patterns, rational number operations, basic geometric concepts and properties, and statistical graphs and applications.
MTH156 INTEGRATED I
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Pre-Integrated (recommend a grade of C- or better) or teacher recommendation.
Integrated I is the first course in the integrated math sequence. Students will revisit and strengthen algebra equation solving and arithmetic skills. Emphasis will be placed on incorporating geometry, data analysis, graphing and trigonometry to model and solve problem situations. Applications, connections and communication of these concepts will be another core focus of the course.
MTH157 INTEGRATED II
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Integrated I (recommend a grade of C- or better)
Integrated II is a continuation of Integrated I and a precursor to Integrated III. More emphasis is placed on logical reasoning, coordinate geometry and probability. Topics covered in this course will include quadratic and systems of equations, matrix operations and applications and polynomial operations. Group projects will be used as learning and assessment tools. Problem solving and visual learning strategies are also included.
MTH158 INTEGRATED III
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Integrated II. (Recommend a grade of C- or better.)
Integrated III is a continuation of Integrated II. As the topics continue to spiral through the math sequence, students will re-visit previously learned topics but at a higher level. Advanced algebraic topics include exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences and series, systems of equations and exploring advanced functions. Geometric topics include patterns, proofs, trigonometric patterns and graphs and vectors.
MTH355 HONORS INTEGRATED III
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: B- or better in Integrated II or teacher recommendation.
This course is recommended for students who are interested in continuing into Honors Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus. This course will include the same topics as Integrated III but will move at a quicker pace and cover more advanced math topics. Extra emphasis will be placed on advanced algebraic topics, trigonometric topics, and trigonometric formulas and equations.
MTH462 PRE-CALCULUS
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Integrated III. (Grade of C- recommended)
This course will focus on graphical representation of advanced algebraic relations and trigonometric functions. The topics include polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions. Trig topics such as functions and applications of trig will be covered. Additional topics include sequences, series, probability, limits and analytic geometry. A graphing calculator is required.
MTH460 HONORS PRE-CALCULUS
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credit per semester) Prerequisite: Grade of B- or better in Honors Integrated III or teacher permission.
This course is intended for students who are interested in AP Calculus. This course will focus on graphical representation of advanced algebraic relations and trigonometric functions. Topics include polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic and trig functions with applications. Additional topics include sequences, series, probability, limits, analytic geometry and derivatives. A graphing calculator is required.
MTH466 AP CALCULUS
(1.0 credit, 2 semesters, 0.5 credits per semester.) Prerequisite: Completion of Honors Pre-Calculus or teacher permission.
This course parallels first year calculus at the college level. It is designed to prepare students for the AB advanced placement exam. Topics covered in the curriculum include limits, derivatives and applications of the derivative, and integration and applications of the integration. Functions studied include linear, polynomial, logarithmic, trigonometric and exponential. Students are required to take the AP Calculus AB Exam in the spring.
