Mathematics

The AP Computer Science Principles course is designed to be equivalent to a first-semester introductory college computing course. In this course, students will develop computational thinking skills vital for success across all disciplines, such as using computational tools to analyze and study data and working with large data sets to analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from trends. The course is unique in its focus on fostering student creativity. Students are encouraged to apply creative processes when developing computational artifacts and to think creatively while using computer software and other technology to explore questions that interest them. They will also develop effective communication and collaboration skills, working individually and collaboratively to solve problems, and discussing and writing about the importance of these problems and the impacts to their community, society, and the world.

This course builds on the student’s knowledge of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students expand their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational and radical functions. Students will solve equations and inequalities including: linear, quadratic over the set of complex numbers, absolute value, and exponential using the properties of logarithms. This course does not have a Regents Exam at the end.

Algebra I is the first mathematics course in the three-year sequence required for high school graduation. This course will assist students in developing the skills and processes needed to successfully solve problems in a variety of settings. In the course, students will study such topics as linear equations with one variable, quadratic, absolute value and exponential functions, and coordinate geometry and systems of equations. Right triangle trigonometry, elementary probability theory, data analysis including measures of central tendency and visual representations of data will be studied, an understanding of correlation and causation will be developed, and reasonable lines of best fit will be used to make predictions. At the end of the course students will sit for the Common Core Algebra Regents exam.

This course is the third in the three-year sequence of Regents math courses. In this course, students will continue their study of algebra, trigonometry and probability and statistics. At the end of the year, students will take the Common Core Algebra 2 & Trigonometry Regents exam.

This is an honors level course. Building on their work with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, students extend their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. Students work closely with the expressions that define the functions and continue to expand and hone their abilities to model situations and to solve equations, including solving quadratic equations over the set of complex numbers and solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms. Students will take the Common Core Algebra II/Trigonometry Regents.

This is a two-semester course and is designed for the 12th grade student who plans to take Calculus during the first year in college. It gives a review of the Trigonometric Function, Algebra and Coordinate Geometry, and emphasizes Differential and Integral Calculus.

This course is recommended for 11th or 12th grade students. The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The topics for class are divided into four major themes: exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability, and statistical inference.

This course is second in the three-year sequence of regents math courses. In this course, students will continue their study of algebra, but the primary focus will be on topics in geometry, including Euclidean geometry in 2 & 3 dimensions, analytical geometry, logic, proof, and transformational geometry. At the end of the course students will sit for the Common Core Geometry Regents examination

This is the second course of the enriched program for the students with a special interest in mathematics. In this course, students will continue their study of algebra, but the primary focus will be on topics in geometry, including Euclidean geometry in 2 & 3 dimensions, analytical geometry, logic, proof, and transformational geometry. At the end of the course students will sit for the Common Core Geometry Regents examination. Students seeking a rigorous intellectual experience in mathematics are encouraged to register for this program.

This is the second year of a two-year sequence which prepares the student for the Common Core Algebra Regents. Students explore many examples of functions, including sequences; they interpret functions given graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally, translate between representations. They interpret arithmetic sequences as linear functions and geometric sequences as exponential functions. Students will sit for the Common Core Algebra Regents exam.

This course will cover concepts from Algebra brought to a higher level. It also includes functions, inverse of functions, composition of functions, complex numbers, logarithms, quadratic formula, and radicals. Course does not end in a Regents Exam.

This course will cover the essentials of Geometry; including an introduction complex geometric situations. Students will begin to explain geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. Transformations are emphasized throughout in this course. This course can be a second or third credit in the three year math sequence.

This is the junior’s honors course. It is mainly concerned with the following topics: The nature of graphs, polynomial and rational functions, vectors and parametric equations, and trigonometric functions and functions and relations.

This is a college preparatory course and is offered to those students who expect to attend college. It includes topics on the nature of graphs, polynomial and rational functions, and matrices.

This advanced college-level course covers the basic concepts of set theory, probability theory, and symbolic logic. Included in this are topics such as Venn Diagrams, sample spaces, Bayes’ Theorem, combinations and permutations, and truth tables. Real-world problems are examined. The use of calculator is essential in this course.
