Prerequisite: For level II and III, successful completion of previous level and Instructor recommendation

These courses are a three-semester sequence of courses that integrate the traditional Algebra I, II and Geometry courses. The program covers the same content topics in a more meaningful sequence using a spiral approach. The Integrated Math program will include: algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, logic, trigonometry and discrete math. However, the course content in each separate semester will be differentiated by depth and breadth of the treatment of each topic and by the nature of applications. Extensive problem solving, mathematical computation, reasoning, and mathematical connections will be woven throughout the program. Emphasis is on realistic problems and modeling, deductive arguments and the use of calculators and graphing utilities. The three-semester sequence will be Integrated Math I then II then III. Honors and College Preparatory levels will be offered in each sequence.

413 Integrated Mathematics I Part 1 (Grade 9)
414 Integrated Mathematics I Part 2 (Grade 9)
Five blocks per week - Full Year - 2.00 Credit

Note: Successful completion of both 413 and 414 will satisfy only ONE math graduation credit.

Prerequisite: Recommendation from eighth grade teacher

This course is to benefit those freshman students who are not able to succeed in the traditional Integrated I class but whose skills are above those that normally enroll in Introduction to Algebra & Geometry.

The objectives of the course would remain the same as the traditional Integrated I course but the extended time would allow students to master the objectives. Students will not be allowed to continue in Integrated II unless they have successfully completed both semesters of Integrated I Part 1 and Integrated I Part 2.

Prerequisite: "C" average, or better, in Honors Integrated III and Instructor recommendation

This course is the first of two courses required for all students wishing to elect Calculus or AP Calculus. The focus of the course is the students thorough understanding of functions, graphs, and advanced Algebra concepts. Graphing calculators are an integral part of the course and therefore, will be required for all students.

446H Honors Precalculus Part II (Grades 11,12) Five blocks per week - Full semester - 1.00 Credit

Prerequisite: "C" average in Honors Integrated Math III and Elementary Functions or Instructor recommendation

This program will concentrate on Trigonometry taught first through the circular functions approach followed by the traditional right triangle approach. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving and project based instruction. Students will be involved in using technology in solving problems and project work. Graphing calculators will be required for all students. The calculator-based lab will be a part of this course. This course is required for all students wishing to elect Calculus or AP Calculus.

447 Trigonometry (Grades 11,12)  Five Blocks per week - Full Semester - 1.00 Credit

Prerequisite: C average in Integrated Math I, II and III, Instructor recommendation

This program will focus on the concepts and functions of Trigonometry taught through circular functions and right angle approaches. Students will use graphing calculators to emphasize problem solving techniques.

448 Precalculus Part I (Grades 11, 12) Five blocks per week - Full semester 1.00 Credit

Prerequisite: C average or better in Integrated I, II, and III or Instructor recommendation

This course is the first of a two part course designed for those students who plan to continue their education in the engineering, business or science field. It is a continuation of the study of functions, graphs and advanced algebra concepts. Graphing calculators are an integral part of the course and will be required for all students.

449 Precalculus Part II (Grades 11, 12) Five blocks per week - Full semester 1.00 Credit

Prerequisite: C average or better in Integrated III and Precalculus Part 1 or Instructor recommendation

This course will focus on the concepts of trigonometry through both circular functions and the right triangle approach. It must be taken with course 448 to complete the study of precalculus. Graphing calculators are an integral part of the course and will be required for all students.
