Algebra, Functions, and Data Analysis
Credit: 1 Math Credit
Offered: 9, 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Algebra I (semester or parts),
Staff Recommendation
Algebra, Functions, and Data Analysis focuses on the use of mathematical modeling and data analysis to solve real world problems. Students will study functions, probability, experimental design, and data analysis and explore many advanced algebra topics. Data will be generated by practical applications in the areas of science, business, and finance. The curriculum is aligned to the Virginia Standards of Learning for Algebra, Functions and Data Analysis.
Geometry Part I and II
Credit: 1 Math and 1 Elective Credit
Offered Grade: 9, 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Algebra I (semester or parts),
Staff Recommendation
Geometry is the study of points, lines, and planes and their relationship to each other. Concepts of both space and solid geometry are integrated with plane geometry throughout the course. Powers of inductive and deductive reasoning are strengthened as rules of logic and formal proofs are introduced. This course also provides an introduction and the basic skills needed in related fields such as mechanical drawing and trigonometry
This course is designed for students who need a two part sequence to cover the topics of geometry. The slower pace of this class will allow additional time for review of algebra skills as they are applied in a geometry class and more in-class activities to improve the students understanding of the geometrical concepts.
An end of course SOL exam is given at the completion of this course.
Geometry (Semester)
