Algebra:
This full-year course lays the foundation for all future
work in mathematics, science and real world problem solving.
The
major emphasis is on developing a true understanding of the
concepts and processes in algebra through the proficient
use
of number sense, problem solving, and the graphing calculator.
Geometry: This
course is designed to enable students to use inductive and
deductive reasoning, to investigate and to understand geometric
concepts, and to apply these concepts to real life situations.
Emphasis is placed on visualization of geometric figures,
problem solving, verbal and written communication and cooperative
learning. Students learn to apply the principles, patterns,
and spatial orientation of plane and solid Euclidean geometry,
as well as to be able to connect these with algebra.
