Mathematics
A Rapidly Changing World
High school math courses are designed to provide students with a solid foundation in mathematical concepts. Math courses emphasize problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning, and real-world applications. Students are encouraged to work collaboratively, use technology for mathematical modeling, and understand the relevance of math across several disciplines.
“This approach fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for the beauty and utility of mathematics, making the subject more engaging and accessible to learners.”
The goal is to equip students with the mathematical knowledge and skills necessary for higher education.
Algebra 1 is a college-preparatory course that introduces students to algebraic reasoning, functions, and mathematical modeling. Students solve linear equations and inequalities, analyze and graph functions, and interpret relationships between variables.
Geometry develops students’ understanding of spatial relationships, geometric structures, and logical reasoning. Students study congruence, similarity, and transformations, along with geometric proof and reasoning.
The course includes polygons, circles, three-dimensional figures, and coordinate geometry. Students apply algebraic methods to geometric contexts and construct logical arguments to justify conclusions.
Algebra 2 extends students’ understanding of functions, equations, and mathematical modeling. Students study quadratic, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, as well as systems of equations and inequalities.
The course emphasizes analysis, problem-solving, and the representation of mathematical relationships in multiple forms.
