Description:
Understanding financial management concepts is an important life skill. From credit to insurance to taxes, it is imperative that students understand the consequences of their choices. Wisely managing their money, students become citizens who are more responsible. A thorough understanding of financial concepts, with practical application through activities and projects, will enable students to leave this course with applicable, useful skills for life. This course surveys the basic personal financial needs of most individuals and emphasizes the basics of budgeting, saving, checking, investments, credit, the wise use of insurance, as well as paying and preparing income tax returns. After high school, students face a world filled with possibilities, and the more knowledge they acquire, the higher the probability that their financial futures will be secure. Students taking this course will learn to better prepare for their financial futures.

Description:
Pre-Algebra is designed to help students recognize and understand the role mathematics plays in the real world. This course helps students make the transition from arithmetic to Algebra I by reinforcing and applying basic arithmetic skills. The course helps to automate the use of fractions, mixed numbers, and decimal numbers and to automate procedures for solving simple word problems. The beginning concepts of algebra are introduced.

Description:
This course includes the study of real numbers, variables, mathematical expressions, polynomials, factoring, quadratic and linear equations, inequalities, and functions. Laying the foundation for all further high school math courses, this course takes a problem-solving approach that enriches abstract and critical thinking skills.

Description:
Geometry continues the study of geometric concepts by building on middle school topics. Students will move from an inductive approach to deductive methods of proof in their study of geometric figures. Two- and three-dimensional reasoning skills will be emphasized, and students will broaden their use of the coordinate plane to include transformations of geometric figures. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and graphics software, will be incorporated as necessary to enhance instruction.

Description:
This is a college level course covering derivatives, integrals, limits, approximation, and applications and modeling.

Note: Before studying calculus, all students should complete four years of secondary mathematics designed for college-bound students: courses in which they study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions. These functions include those that are linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, and piecewise defined. In particular, before studying calculus, students must be familiar with the properties of functions, the algebra of functions, and the graphs of functions. Students must also understand the language of functions (domain and range, odd and even, periodic, symmetry, zeros, intercepts, and so on) and know the values of the trigonometric functions of the numbers 0, pi/6, pi/4, pi/3, pi/2, and their multiples.
