This class meets a full block everyday
Class Rank Value: 1.00
This course provides the students with a background of Algebra while strengthening basic skills. The student will use the operations and properties of real numbers already developed to develop a further understanding of the language of algebra. A thorough knowledge of Algebra 1 is essential for students to take courses in Geometry and Algebra 2. 315 Algebra 1 - Credit 1
Class Rank Value: 1.05
The major topics of Algebra 1 include the real number system and its properties, linear equations and functions, linear inequalities, polynomials and factoring, radicals, and probability. Students are often required to communicatemathematically and use cooperative learning. They are required to use higher order thinking skills as they apply concepts. The goal is for students to become independent learners and problem solvers. A thorough knowledge of Algebra 1 is required prior to taking Geometry and Algebra 2, the next two courses in this sequence. Exceptional Algebra 1 students will be recommended to take Advanced Geometry and/or Advanced Algebra 2. 319 Advanced Geometry - Credit 1
Class Rank Value: 1.10
Prerequisite: Algebra 1
The rigorous study of Geometry explores lines, angles, circles, and many other familiar and non-familiar concepts. This exploration will lead to a better understanding of our world as well as better knowledge of arithmetic and algebra. A strong emphasis is placed on developing the student’s logic. An excellent background in Algebra I is not necessary but the student should have a basic understanding of Algebra. This course can lead to good mathematical preparation for vocational school or college. 320 Geometry - Credit 1
Prerequisite: Algebra I or Algebra Part II; or Unified Algebra I & Geometry
Class Rank Value: 1.05
The study of Geometry explores lines, angles, circles, and many other familiar and non-familiar concepts. This exploration will lead to a better understanding of our world as well as better knowledge of arithmetic and algebra. A strong emphasis is placed on developing the student’s logic. An excellent background in Algebra I is not necessary but the student should have a basic understanding of Algebra. This course can lead to good mathematical preparation for vocational school or college. 329 Advanced Algebra II - Credit 1
Prerequisite: Algebra I and Advanced Geometry
Class Rank Value: 1.10
Students who take Advanced Algebra 2 will encounter a brief but intensified review of the fundamental concepts of Algebra 1 and Geometry. This course is an extension of Arithmetic, Algebra 1, and Geometry. Problem solving techniques using new topics such as: logarithms, sequence and series, and matrices reveal to the student the broad application that Algebra 1 and mathematics in general has for them in the world. This course is designed for those students who have been accelerated in math. Recommendations from Geometry/Algebra 1 instructors can also place a student in this top division of Algebra 2. A thorough knowledge of Algebra 2 is essential for courses in Advanced Math or Pre-Calculus. 330 Algebra II - Credit 1
Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry
Class Rank Value: 1.05
Algebra 2 covers these major concepts: equations and inequalities, quadratic and linear functions and graphs, systems of equations and inequalities, matrices, polynomials, radial expressions, and probability. Students are expected to extend their Algebra 1 knowledge to a higher level, similar to that of a college algebra student. A major emphasis is placed on problem solving and applications. Students are often asked to work together in teams, but independent practice is also critical to success. A thorough knowledge of Algebra 2 is required prior to signing up for Pre-Calculus. 364 Advanced Pre-Calculus – Credit 1
Prerequisite: Advanced Algebra 2
Class Rank Value: 1.10
This course is designed for students who have taken Advanced Algebra 2 and intend to study Calculus or AP Calculus in the year following this course. Topics include families of curves, functions, graphing, logarithmic and exponential functions, and trigonometry. A graphing calculator is required. 365 Pre-Calculus - Credit 1
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Class Rank Value: 1.05
This course gives the student a strong background in Trigonometry and other Advanced Algebra concepts. It is designed for juniors or seniors who will take calculus the following year. 366 Calculus - Credit 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus or Advanced Pre-Calculus
Class Rank Value: 1.10
This course offers an excellent introduction to Calculus while creating a solid foundation for those students who may wish to enroll in AP Calculus another year. Topics include a review of Pre-Calculus concepts, followed by limits, derivatives and their applications, and integrals and their applications. A graphing calculator is required. 367 AP/Calculus – Credit 1
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus and permission of instructor
Class Rank Value: 1.15
This course follows the College Board syllabus for Advanced Placement Calculus AB. Topics include functions, limits, and differential and integral calculus and their applications. A graphing calculator is required. All students will be required to purchase their textbook and must take the Advanced Placement test in May. AP Exam fee is paid by Winslow High School. Students may receive college credit from most colleges and universities for successful completion of the course and the Advanced Placement exam. 369 Mathematics Topics- Credit 1
Prerequisite: Algebra 2 and a desire to explore math topics at a challenging level
Class Rank Value: 1.00
This course covers a variety of math topics with an emphasis on problem solving. Topics include: Arithmetic with “*” operations, Inequalities and Absolute Values, Matrices, Determinants, and Systems of Equations, Number Theory, Geometric Similarities, Arithmetic with Ratio and Proportion, Series and Sequences, Counting Principles and Binomial Theorem, Polynomials, Area and Volumes. Also Probability, Exponents and Radicals, Lines, Angles, and Polygons, Complex Numbers, Arithmetic with Percent, Arithmetic with Literal Equations, Logarithms and Logarithmic Equations, Linear Coordinate Geometry, Functions, Trigonometry Mechanics, Algebraic Fractions with Factoring, Trigonometric Equations and Identities, Circles and Spheres, Conics and Arithmetic with Statistics. 362 College Algebra- Credit 1 - Dual Credits (WHS & KVCC)
Juniors/Seniors only; Prerequisite: Algebra 2, satisfactory scores on the Accuplacer test The emphasis of this course is on problem solving. This course unifies the traditional analytical methods of Algebra with the modern graphing technologies in order to solve problems modeled by a variety of functions such as linear, quadratic, absolute value, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic. The central theme is authentic applications from traditional disciplines such as the physical sciences and engineering as well as applications from business, economics, social sciences, life science, health science, sports and other areas of student interest. This course provides the foundation necessary for success in future studies of mathematics. See your guidance counselor if interested.
