This course is equivalent to a 1st semester class of Calculus in college. A student earning a good grade in high school Calculus should be able to test out of 1st semester college calculus. Derivatives and Integrals occupy a great deal of time in this course. A graphing calculator may be required for the course.
Grades: 8
This yearlong course is designed for students to acquire problem-solving skills, including variable solutions. The course creates a strong foundation of basic algebraic concepts needed in order to continue in Geometry and Algebra II. Students who take this class will automatically have this course credited to their high school transcript and calculated in their high school cumulative grade point average. Pre-requisite: Testing required to enter course in 8th grade.
Algebra I (9)
Credit: 1
Grades: 9
The course goal is to introduce students to the orderliness of creation through the laws and patterns of algebra, providing basic understanding of skills needed to begin preparing for further education and possibly a career in the sciences. It is necessary for further study in mathematics, has useful everyday vocational applications, and is required by a majority of colleges.
As with Algebra I, this course is very review oriented. It is a study of the structure, concepts, and skills of real and complex numbers. This course provides students with an ever-increasing understanding of the greatness and orderliness of creation, challenging students to improve and use their talents for logic, concentration, and order. Algebra II is a necessary tool for college chemistry and physics, and further courses in math and the sciences. This course is recommended for college-bound students and vocational schools programs of study.
This course is the application of basic math skills to solving practical business problems. Applications included are percentages, sales tax, discounts, interest, markup, payroll, banking, insurance, income tax, dividends, and various small business problems. The course is geared toward self-use in life and learning basic skills.
Foundations of Algebra, Part I (9-12)
This course is and introduction to basic Algebra. A student's entrance into this course must be by teacher approval. Each student will be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide using order of operations; as well as solve equations with one or two unknowns. Students will learn the concepts taught in the first half of Algebra I.
(Students may be assigned to Foundations of Algebra based on established criteria)
Foundations of Algebra, Part II (9-12)
This course is a continuation of Foundations of Algebra, Part I. Students will learn the concepts taught in the second half of Algebra I.
This course is designed to give students a better understanding of math and problem solving. The four basic functions are used in working with various fields of numbers. It is offered to students as an alternative course for those students unable to understand Algebra and other higher math classes. Students learn the use of math and the thought process. Students learn through logical thinking how math can be used in many areas of our lives. The Christian in society spends time throughout the course with instruction on the positive aspects of math.
This course challenges students to improve and use their talents for logic, concentration, and order. it is recommended to further develop skills needed for higher courses in math and the sciences. As with Algebra I and II, concepts are integrated and built upon a great deal of review. An increasing number of Geometry skills are mainstreamed into the ever-increasing body of knowledge. Pre-requisite: Algebra I
This yearlong course is designed for students to learn and remember the foundational skills of mathematics. The course provides the student with the time and opportunities necessary to build a strong foundation in beginning mathematics, incorporating a Christian perspective in all areas.
This yearlong course is designed to assist students in the transition to Algebra. Higher-level concepts are introduced, but in an easy to understand manner which is not threatening to students. All math concepts are taught from a Christian perspective, showing God's order in all of creation. Students who successfully complete this course will be fully ready to move into Algebra reasoning and understanding.
This yearlong course is considered to be a transitional course to upper-level skills of arithmetice and abstract concepts. Students are challenged to find God's design and order in creation through the discovery of math concepts. The course is meant to teach the concepts necessary for students to survive in today's technological world and to succeed in upper-level courses in Mathematics. Pre-requiste: Testing required to enter course in 7th grade.
This yearlong course is considered to be a transitional course to upper-level skills of arithmetic and abstract concepts. The course is meant to teach the concepts necessary for students to survive in today's technological world and to succeed in upper-level courses in Mathmentics.
This course reviews and applies the skills studied in Algebra II and Geometry. Trigonometry concepts are taken further, and there is an increased emphasis on graphing and use of the calculator and computer. A student earning a good grade in Pre-Calculus should be ready for Calculus at most colleges.
