ENHANCED ALGEBRA 1AB
Students begin the course with one-variable statistics, building on ideas from middle school. From there, students move on to expand their understanding of linear equations, inequalities, and systems of linear equations and inequalities. Next, students study functions, continuing the work begun in grade 8. They see categories of functions, starting with linear functions (including their inverses) and piecewise-defined functions (including absolute value functions), followed by exponential and quadratic functions. The course ends with a close look at quadratic equations.

GEOMETRY 1AB

For the first several units, students practice generating conjectures and observations. Students build on their middle school study of transformations of figures. Students use transformation-based definitions of congruence and similarity, allowing them to rigorously prove the triangle congruence and similarity theorems. They apply these theorems to prove results about quadrilaterals, isosceles triangles, and other figures. Students extend their understanding of similarity when they study right triangle trigonometry. Students derive volume formulas and study the effect of dilation on both area and volume. They connect ideas from algebra and geometry through coordinate geometry. They use transformations and the Pythagorean Theorem to build equations of circles, parabolas, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines from definitions, and they link transformations to the concept of functions. Students analyze relationships between segments and angles in circles and develop the concept of radian measure for angles. They close the year by extending what they learned about probability in grade 7 to consider probabilities of combined events, including identifying when events are independent. Within the classroom activities, students have opportunities to engage in aspects of mathematical modeling. Additionally, modeling prompts are provided for use throughout the course. |

ENHANCED MATH 2AB
The focus of Enhanced Math II is the same as Math II with an added 3 week statistics unit from Math III. It also includes added time to the probability unit to include 4 (+) standards that include: Applying the general multiplication rule in a uniform probability model, use permutations and combinations to compute probabilities of compound events and solve problems, use probabilities to make fair decisions, and analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts. Enhanced Math II will also include added standards to circles, two added standards for complex numbers to the solving quadratic unit. Lastly, it will include additional days of added modeling and performance task projects built into some units. The goal of the enhanced pathway is so a student can bypass pre-calculus and go straight into AP Calculus.

HONORS ENHANCED MATH 3AB
The purpose of Enhanced Math III with Pre-Calculus is to study the concepts from Math I and Math II with greater depth and to continue to learn more advanced mathematic concepts and skills to prepare students for (Advanced Placement) Calculus AB and BC. Students will be expected to have an understanding of theorems and concepts as well as their applications to the study of the real world. A particular goal is to improve their problem solving and critical thinking skills by requiring students to solve problems that are not simply procedural in nature or a match to problems studied previously. Enhanced Math III students will be taught how to understand mathematics verbally, analytically, numerically, and graphically and be able to present and teach others their knowledge with clarity and brevity. Enhanced Math III with Pre-Calculus combines the trigonometric, geometric, and algebraic concepts studied in Math III and Pre-Calculus courses needed to prepare students for the study of Calculus. Facility with these topics is especially important for students intending to study calculus, physics, and other sciences, and/or engineering in college. This course is highly suggested as preparation before taking a standard Calculus course that would lead to taking an Advanced Placement Calculus exam.

STATISTICS 1AB
Statistics will introduce students to the study of probability, interpretation of data, and fundamental statistical problem solving. Mastery of this academic content will provide students with a solid foundation in probability and facility in processing statistical information.

AP CALCULUS AB
AP CALCULUS BC
The course will conform to the College Board's description of AP Calculus BC. In both content and rigor, it will be equivalent to a first year college calculus course. The main units include (1) limits and continuity, (2) derivatives, (3) applications of derivatives, (4) definite integrals, (5) differential equations and mathematical modeling, (6) applications of definite integrals, (7) L'Hopital's Rule, improper integrals, and partial fractions, (8) infinite series, and (9) parametric, vector, and polar functions

PRE-CALCULUS 1AB

The purpose of Pre-Calculus is to study the concepts from Math I, Math II, and Math III with greater depth and to continue to learn more advanced mathematic concepts and skills to prepare students for college level calculus. Students will be expected to have an understanding of theorems and concepts as well as their applications to the study of the real world. A particular goal is to improve their problem solving and critical thinking skills by requiring students to solve problem that are not simply procedural in nature or a match to problems studied previously. Pre-Calculus students will be taught how to understand mathematics verbally, analytically, numerically, and graphically and be able to present and teach others their knowledge with clarity and brevity. Students will study: power, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, trigonometric identities, laws, and equations, systems of equations and matrices, conic sections, parametric equations, vectors, polar coordinates, complex numbers, and inferential statistics. Facility with these topics is especially important for students intending to study calculus, physics, and other sciences, and/or engineering in college. Because many of the standards for this course are (+) standards, students selecting tis Pre-Calculus course should have met the college and career ready standards of the previous courses in the integrated pathway. |

DATA SCIENCE 1AB
The course will give students opportunities to be data explorers through active engagement, developing their understanding of data analysis, sampling, correlation/causation, bias and uncertainty, modeling with data, making and evaluating data-based arguments, and the importance of data in society. At the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of their data science work to showcase their newly developed knowledge and understanding.
