ALGEBRA 2
One Year Course
Grades 10, 11
Prerequisite: Geometry
Course Number: MA149
Students continue their study of functions including
polynomial, exponential, rational and radical functions. They
build and interpret functions that model a relationship
between two quantities by analyzing key features of the
graphs and equations. Students make sense of periodic
behavior as they study trigonometric functions and build
fluency with values of sine, cosine, and tangent at various
angle measures. Equation solving strategies expand to
include higher degree polynomials and quadratics over the
complex number system and exponential equations using the
properties of logarithms. Please note this course requires a
graphing calculator (TI-83, 83+, 84, 84+, or TI-84 Color).
H ALGEBRA 2
One Year Course
Grades 9, 10
Prerequisite: Geometry (A level work),
H Geometry (A or B level work) or Department
Approval
Course Number: MA169
The H Algebra 2 course covers the material taught in Algebra
2 in greater depth. Students in H Algebra 2 are expected to
demonstrate proficiency in the focus and extension skills that
are taught. Please note this course requires a graphing
calculator (TI-83, 83+, 84, 84+, or TI-84 Color).
H AP ® CALCULUS AB
One Year Course
Grade 11, 12
Prerequisite: H Pre-Calculus (A or B level work) or
Department Approval
Course Number:
Semester 1: MA180
Semester 2: MA190
Calculus is a rigorous mathematics course intended for those
students who are interested in pursuing careers in
mathematics, science, engineering, or business. The course
content is similar to that offered in freshman level Calculus
classes at most major universities. Topics included in the
syllabus will be a brief review of trigonometry and some
advanced algebra topics, limits, differential calculus and its
applications, and integral calculus and its applications.
Please note this course requires a graphing calculator (TI-83,
83+, 84, 84+, or TI-84 Color).
Upon successful completion of this course, students may
elect to take the AP Calculus AB exam in May. Based on
performance on this test, students may earn college credits.
