The following Math Courses will fulfill a 1 graduation credit each towards the needed math credits in order to graduate. 

Algebra I  - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite:  8th grade math

This course is designed to help students make the connection between Algebra and its real application.  Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to move on to Geometry. 

Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks and homework.

Honors Algebra I - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit

Prerequisite:  Placement System 

This course is designed for high achieving students who plan to attend college.  The curriculum is very challenging, demanding good study skills, great motivation, and determination to succeed.  Upon completion of this course with an average of 80% or above (or teacher recommendation), students will move on to Honors Geometry.

Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks and homework.

Geometry - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite:  Algebra I or Teacher recommendation

Geometry bridges the gap between abstract geometrical concepts and real-world applications.  It integrates geometry with ideas from algebra, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics, and trigonometry.  Students are challenged to develop their capacity for problem solving.

 Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks, and homework.

Honors Geometry  - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite:  Honors Algebra I, 80% or above and Teacher recommendation

This course explores formal geometry through proof and investigation.  Students “create” geometric concepts through activities, investigations, constructions, and problems.  Topics include: inductive reasoning, discovering patterns, geometric constructions, triangle, quadrilateral, and other polygonal relationships, circles, arcs, and angle relationships, right angle and right triangle properties, symmetry, areas and volumes of geometric figures, similarity, and trigonometry. 

Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks, and homework.

Algebra II  - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite:  Algebra I and Geometry

This course is designed to meet the graduation requirement of all students in the high school.  This course expands upon the concepts of Algebra I and Geometry with an emphasis placed upon problem solving.  Students will use real world applications to make connections between life situations and algebraic concepts. 

Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks, class participation, and homework.

Honors Algebra II (CCP option) - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite:  Honors Algebra I, 80% or above and Teacher recommendation

In Honors Algebra II, advanced algebraic topics are studied with an emphasis placed on problem solving and development of advanced reasoning skills.  The curriculum is challenging and requires much diligence from the student in order to achieve success.

Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks, class participation, and homework assignments.

Probability & Statistics (CCP option) - one semester - .5 credit

Prerequisite:  Algebra II

This course is designed to prepare students for college level Probability & Statistics.  Topics studied will include measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, application of the standard normal curve, and theoretical and experimental probability. 

Evaluation is based on test scores, notebooks, class participation, homework completion, and projects.

Pre-Calculus (CCP option) - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit  

Prerequisite:  Honors Algebra II, 80% or above and Teacher recommendation

This course is designed to prepare students for Calculus.  Trigonometry is studied in great detail.  Concepts introduced in Algebra II will also be explored in greater depth.  A study of limits and derivatives will be conducted at the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition to Calculus.

Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks, class participation, and homework.

Trigonometry (CCP Option) - One semester- .50 credits

Prerequisite: Algebra II

This course is for students who need to take Trigonometry for calculus or physics. Topics covered include right triangle trigonometry, trigonometric functions and graphs, trigonometric identities, vectors, conic sections and polar coordinates.

Evaluation is based on Test, quizzes, homework and final exam.

CCP Calculus  - 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite:  Pre-Calculus

This course is designed for high achieving math students who plan to further their mathematical studies in college.  The curriculum is set by University of Cincinnati. This course is designed to provide students with credit for college that should transfer to their next institution of study. Evaluation is based on test scores, compositions, notebooks, and homework.

Elementary Statistics- 2 semesters - 1 .0 credit 

Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry

Elementary Statistics is an introductory course in statistics intended for students in a wide variety of areas of study. Topics discussed include displaying and describing data, the normal curve, regression, probability, statistical inference, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests with applications in the real world. Evaluation is based on participation and quality of the students’ completed projects.
