Algebra Readiness (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free

with Traci Terrell

Calendar Sep 9, 2024

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 9-12

Prerequisites: Teacher/school counselor recommendation only  

Course Description: Students build and reinforce foundational math skills which they have not achieved mastery. They progress through carefully paced, guided instruction and engaging interactive practice. Formative assessments identify areas of weakness and prescribe lessons to improve performance. Summative assessments track progress and skill development. If needed, students can move on to Pre-Algebra to further develop the computational skills and conceptual understanding needed to undertake high school math courses with confidence.                                                                   

AP ® Calculus AB (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free

with Carrie Cherney

Calendar Sep 9, 2024

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length: Yearlong Course 1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Successfully completed courses in which you studied algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions.

Course Description: This course is the equivalent of an introductory college-level calculus course. Calculus helps scientists, engineers, and financial analysts understand the complex relationships behind real-world phenomena. Students learn to evaluate the soundness of proposed solutions and apply mathematical reasoning to real-world models. Students also learn to understand change geometrically and visually (by studying graphs of curves), analytically (by studying and working with mathematical formulas), numerically (by seeing patterns in sets of numbers), and verbally. Students prepare for the AP exam and further studies in science, engineering, and mathematics.

AP ® Statistics (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free
Calendar Sep 9, 2024

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Success in Algebra II (or equivalent) and teacher/school counselor recommendation  

Course Description: AP Statistics gives students hands-on experience collecting, analyzing, graphing, and interpreting real-world data. They will learn to effectively design and analyze research studies by reviewing and evaluating real research examples taken from daily life. The next time they hear the results of a poll or study, they will know whether the results are valid. As the art of drawing conclusions from imperfect data and the science of real-world uncertainties, statistics plays an important role in many fields. The equivalent of an introductory college-level course, AP Statistics prepares students for the AP exam and for further study in science, sociology, medicine, engineering, political science, geography, and business.


                                     

Consumer Math 1

Free

with Traci Terrell

Calendar Sep 9, 2024

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Course Length: Semester Course

Credit: 0.5

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Course Description: In Consumer Math, students study and review arithmetic skills they can apply in their personal lives and in their future careers. Consumer Math 1 begins with a focus on occupational topics; it includes details on jobs, wages, deductions, taxes, insurance, recreation and spending, and transportation. Narrated slideshows help illustrate some of the more difficult content. Throughout the course, students participate in online discussions with each other and their teacher.

 

Integrated Math 1 (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free

with Ruthie Pirkl

Calendar Sep 9, 2024

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 9-12

Course Description: This first-year high school integrated math course focuses on linear and simple exponential models. The course contrasts linear behavior with exponential behavior and uses both linear and simple exponential equations as models. Students learn about and work extensively with functions, analyzing function properties and behavior, creating and transforming functions, and applying functions to various continuous and discrete situations.      

 

Integrated Math 2 (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 10-12

Course Description: This second-year high school integrated math course focuses on systems of equations and statistics. The statistics in the course cover both univariate and bivariate data. For univariate data, students learn about measures of center and spread. For bivariate data, they learn about correlation and fitting data to a line. The topics in geometry include transformations, reasoning, congruence, construction, and analytic geometry.                                                                                                                                      

 

Integrated Math 3 (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 10-12

Course Description:   Integrated Mathematics III, a third-year high school math course, introduces students to polynomials, including the factoring of polynomials, before moving onto quadratics equations and quadratic functions. The course also covers probability, including conditional probability. There are many geometry topics in the course, including transversals, similarity, volume, and circles. Students solve problems using right triangle trigonometry and special right triangles, and use the tools of analytic geometry to describe circles and parabolas in the coordinate plane.


                                                                                                                                    

 

Math Reasoning-Dual Credit (1st Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free

with Traci Terrell

Calendar Sep 9, 2024

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Passing with a “C” or better in Geometry or Integrated Math 2 (and/or ACT of 17 or better)

Course Description: All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity-based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts. This course may be used as the first of a two part sequence that ends with Quantitative Reasoning as the capstone general education math requirement.
