Math Department

This is a one-year college prep course that meets state graduation requirements for Geometry. This course includes the following topics: Similarity; Coordinate geometry; Trigonometric ratios; Quadratic functions; Quadratic equations; Probability.

 

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math 1 or Algebra 1
• Graduation Credit: Mathematics
• UC/CSU Area: Math (c)

The following units will be covered in Integrated Math 3: Statistics (Random Processes), Circles and Conics, Trigonometric Functions, Exponential Functions, Functions Capstone, Rationale and Polynomial Expressions. This course will complete the 3 year Integrated Math series and includes remaining High School Common Core Math Standards that are not covered in Integrated Math 1 and Integrated Math 2.

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math 2 or Geometry
• Graduation Credit: Mathematics
• UC/CSU Area: Math (c)

This course is designed for students who are interested in pursuing STEM fields in college. This course is an enhanced course and not an honors course and will cover topics above the Integrated Math 3 course, including vectors, complex numbers and advanced trigonometric function analysis. The following units will be covered in Integrated Math 3 STEM: Statistics (Random Processes), Circles and Conics, Trigonometric Functions, Vectors, Exponential Functions, Functions Capstone, Rational and Polynomial Expressions. This course will complete the 3 year Integrated Math series and includes the remaining High School Common Core Math Standards and a variety of the "plus" standards that are not covered in Integrated Math 1 and Integrated Math 2.

 

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math 2 or Geometry
• Graduation Credit: Mathematics
• UC/CSU Area: Math (c)

 

 

This is a one-year college prep course that extends the Integrated Mathematics series. The course will include a deeper exploration of trigonometric, rational, piecewise, exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will explore applications of complex numbers and vectors as well as broaden their understanding of statistical regression and probability.

• Graduation Credit: Mathematics
• UC/CSU Area: Math (c); College Prep Electives (g)

 

 

Calculus AB is primarily concerned with developing the students‘ understanding of the concepts of calculus and providing experience with its methods and applications.

 

The courses emphasize a multi representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically and verbally. The connections among these representations also are important.

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3 STEM or Pre-calculus/Integrated Math 4.

The AP Statistics course lends itself naturally to a mode of teaching that engages students in constructing their own knowledge. For example, students working individually or in small groups can plan and perform data collection and analyses where the teacher serves in the role of a consultant, rather than a director. This approach gives students ample opportunity to think through problems, make decisions and share questions and conclusions with other students as well as with the teacher. Important components of the course should include the use of technology, projects and laboratories, cooperative group problem- solving, and writing, as a part of concept-oriented instruction and assessment. This approach to teaching AP Statistics will allow students to build interdisciplinary connections with other subjects and with their world outside school.

The AP Computer Science course is an introductory course in computer science. Because the design and implementation of computer programs to solve problems involve skills that are fundamental to the study of computer science, a large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs that correctly solve a given problem. These programs should be understandable, adaptable, and, when appropriate, reusable. At the same time, the design and implementation of computer programs is used as a context for introducing other important aspects of computer science, including the development and analysis of algorithms, the development and use of fundament data structures, the study of standard algorithms and typical applications, and the use of logic and formal methods.

• Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3, Integrated Math 3 STEM, or Algebra 2, AND Computer Programming
• Graduation Credit: Mathematics, Applied Arts, Career Technical Education (CTE)
