Algebra I
15 Students
In this course, students will learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide expressions. Students will also explore the integer, rational, real number, irrational number system, graphing and manipulating linear equations in two variables. Topics covered also include polynomials, exponents, powers, radicals and function notation. Much of the class time will be spent in one-on-one instruction between a student and the teacher or the TA. Occasional lectures will also be included to facilitate learning. A TI-30Xa is required for this course.
Requirements:
See Math or Science qualifying scores.
Algebra II
15 Students
In this course students will engage in an in-depth study of functions. Quadratic, polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, periodic, and logarithmic functions are explored graphically and algebraically. Conic sections, matrices, parametric equations, and statistical description of data are also introduced. Algebra II emphasizes mathematics as a language through which real world problems are addressed, analyzed, and solved. A graphing calculator, preferably a TI-83, is required for this course. A BESE approved final examination is given at the end of the class to aid student's local schools in course placement or credit decisions. NOTE: This course may be eligible for articulated college credit at Northwestern State University. See page 6 for details.
Requirements:
See
Math or Science scores on page 9. Student must have completed Algebra 1 and
Geometry in school or at ADVANCE.
Geometry
15 students
In this course, students will examine concepts of plane geometry, including definitions, points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, theorems, and postulates associated with those concepts. In addition to the above, students will also study solid geometry concepts. Solids such as cylinders, spheres, cones, and polyhedras will be examined. A TI-30x is required for this course.
Requirements:
See
Math or Science scores on page 9. Students must have completed Algebra 1 in
school or at ADVANCE.
Precalculus
15 Students
TThis course consists of the study of the following major topics: Sequences and series including limits, functions, composite, inverse, combinations, polynomial and rational functions and their graphs, conic sections, matrices and determinants, and exponential logarithms. Trigonometric properties, equations and proofs are also developed. These topics may overlap ones traditionally covered in Algebra II or Algebra III, to some extent. A graphing calculator, preferably a TI-83 or TI-89, is required for this course. NOTE: This course may be eligible for articulated college credit at Northwestern State University. See page 6 for details.
