Grade Level: 9-10
Prerequisite: None
Introduction to High School Algebra is a course designed to develop the skills required to be successful in Algebra I. Mathematical content includes number sense, patterns and functions, and problem solving. This course will meet High School graduation requirements.
Grade Level: 9-12
Prerequisite: None
Meets the UC/CSU “C” requirement
This course is the first year of algebra. Students learn about operations with algebraic expression, solutions to first and second degree equations, factoring, graphing linear equations, inequalities, irrational numbers, the quadratic formula, and other similar topics. The typical student spends at least one-half hour on homework daily. This course has been aligned to the PUSD and State Standards for Mathematics, and meets the PUSD math requirements.
Grade Level: 9-12
Prerequisite: C or better in Algebra 1-2 or C or better in Algebra 2A-2B
Meets the UC/CSU “C” requirement
This course teaches deductive reasoning and organized thinking. Students study postulates, definitions, and theorems to use in formal proofs. Both semesters emphasize using algebraic skills to solve problems. Plane geometry and solid geometry are taught. Students also learn straightedge and compass constructions and transformations.
Grade Level: 9-10
Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra 1-2 Teacher recommendation
Meets the UC/CSU “C” requirement
This course is a faster-paced version of Geometry 1-2, allowing time for extensive review of algebra topics to prepare students for Honors Algebra 3-4.
Grade Level: 10-12
Prerequisite: Geometry 1-2
Meets the UC/CSU “C” requirement
This course is a review and extension of first year algebra. New topics include conic sections, probability, logarithms, matrices and properties of functions. It is intended for college bound students who are not math or science majors.
Grade Level: 9-12
Prerequisite: B or better in Algebra 1-2 and Honors Geometry 1-2
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
This course is a continuation of Algebra 1-2, starting with a comprehensive review. New topics include, logarithms, solving inequalities, higher degree equations, conics, matrices, trigonometry, complex numbers, probability and sequences and series.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: C or higher in Algebra 3-4 or Honors Algebra 3-4
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
This is a one semester course in trigonometry. Topics covered include special triangles, the unit circle, using the graphing calculator, proving trigonometric identities, solving equations, solving triangles, angular velocity, and the laws of sines and cosines. It is intended for college bound students who are not math or science majors.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: Algebra 1-2 and Geometry 1-2
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
Statistics is a college preparatory course that will introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Probability and counting methods are included. Students will apply descriptive statistics to a wide range of disciplines.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: Completion or concurrent enrollment in Honors Algebra 3-4, Algebra 3-4 or higher
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
The multidisciplinary aspects and applications of statistics make it one of the most rewarding classes to take. The study blends the rigor, calculations, and deductive thinking of mathematics, the real-world examples and problems of social science, the decision-making needs of business and medicine, and the laboratory methods and experimental procedures of the natural sciences. This course is designed to prepare students to take the Advanced Placement Exam for Statistics.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: C or higher in Honors Algebra 3-4 B or higher in both Algebra 3-4 and Trig/Stats
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
This course is for advanced college prep students. It provides the foundation for students to proceed to Calculus. Reviews Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra. It introduces the study of polynomials including synthetic division, graphing theory, limits, and derivatives.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: B or higher in Algebra 3-4, Trigonometry or Honors Algebra 3-4
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
This course is designed for the advanced math student who is preparing to take Honors Pre-Calculus or college mathematics. Non-algebra based topics (such as network theory and number theory) will be studied, along with some pre-calculus concepts, in order to bring diversity and interest to the curriculum. Students will leave the course prepared to take a pre-calculus, statistics, or discrete math course in either high school or college mathematics.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: B or better in Honors Pre-Calculus Teacher recommendation
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
This course is a college-level class for students who have completed the equivalent of 4 years of college preparatory mathematics. Students will receive little or no review. Topics include derivatives, differentials, integrations, and applications. Many problems are atypical and require students to synthesize new solutions. A graphing calculator is required. The course is designed to prepare students to take the Advanced Placement Exam for Calculus AB.
Grade Level: 11-12
Prerequisite: B or better in Calculus AB 1-2 Teacher Recommendation
Meets the UC/CSU “C” or "G" requirement
This course is for students who have completed four years of college preparatory math including Calculus AB. New topics covered include parametric equations, vector functions, indeterminate forms of limits, polar curves, advanced integration techniques, infinite series, and Taylor polynomials. This course prepares the student to take the Advanced Placement Exam for Calculus BC.
