Course Descriptions - Mathematics
Mrs. Danielle Farris, Department Head
*Note: 10th grade students who wish to accelerate their progress in math may schedule Geometry and Algebra II concurrently.
Algebra I - Part 1 and Algebra I - Part 2 These courses are designed for students who scored in the 25 percentile or below in math on standardized tests. The courses cover the same material as Algebra I but at a slower pace and over a two-year period. Remediation in basic math concepts is also provided. Topics covered include expressions, equations, functions and their graphs, solving linear equations and inequalities, using proportional reasoning, analyzing linear equations, exploring polynomials, factoring, and solving quadratic equations. The TI-83 graphing calculator is used throughout the course. Students who are placed in Algebra I - Part 1 must take Algebra I - Part 2 the following year. The two courses together satisfy the state requirement of Algebra I completion for high school graduation in Louisiana. Elective 1 Credit 9th
Algebra I The course is designed for students who have completed pre-algebra. Topics covered include expressions, equations, functions and their graphs, solving linear equations and inequalities, using proportional reasoning, analyzing linear equations, exploring polynomials, factoring, and solving quadratic equations. The TI-83 graphing calculator is used throughout the course. Required 1 Credit 9th
Algebra I (HONORS) This course is designed for students who were high achievers in pre-algebra. Topics covered are the same as the topics covered in Algebra I at a more accelerated pace. In addition to those topics, others covered are exploring quadratic and exponential functions, rational expressions and equations, and radical expressions and equations. Real-life applications of each topic are stressed in the course. The graphing calculator is used throughout the course. Applicants must meet honors program standards. Elective 1 Credit 9th
Geometry This course is for students who have successfully completed Algebra I. It includes the study of lines, angles, perpendicular lines, and planes, polygons, congruency and similarity of polygons, special quadrilaterals, circles, areas of polygons and volumes of solids. Constructions using a straightedge and a compass are also studied. Computer software is used whenever appropriate. Required 1 Credit 9th, 10th
Geometry (HONORS) This course is for students who have excelled in Algebra I or Algebra I (Honors). The course includes all of the topics covered in regular geometry. In addition, proofs, coordinate geometry, right triangle trigonometry, and tesselations are studied. Computer software is used whenever appropriate. Applicants must meet honors program standards. Elective 1 Credit 9th, 10th
Algebra II This course is designed for students who have satisfactorily completed the requirements for Algebra I and Geometry and who desire to attend college upon graduation. This course satisfies college requirements for a 3rd year of college-prep math. Topics covered include sets, the field of real numbers, linear equations and inequalities in one variable, solving simultaneous two and three variable equations, functions and their graphs in the Cartesian coordinate system, quadratic equations and factoring, exponents, radicals, irrational and complex number systems, and polynomials. Required 1 Credit 10th, 11th
Algebra II (HONORS) This course is opened to students who have satisfactorily completed the requirements for Algebra I or Honors or Geometry or Honors. This course is designed for mathematically capable students. This course is a study of equations and inequalities, graphs and functions, polynomials and factoring, rational expressions, irrational and complex numbers, quadratic equations and functions, systems of two and three equations, exponential and logarithmic functions. Emphasis is on solving word problems as applications of the above. The graphing calculator is used extensively throughout the course. Applicants must meet honors program standards. Elective 1 Credit 10th
Advanced Math This course is for students who have completed Algebra II. The course prepares the student for college trigonometry and college algebra. The first semester is a study of linear equations and systems, matrices, polynomial and rational functions, inequalities, and logarithmic and exponential functions. The second semester is a study of trigonometric ratios, acute angles and right triangles, circular functions and graphs, solving triangles, identities and equations, inverse trigonometric functions, and polar graphs. The graphing calculator and computer software are used extensively throughout the course. Elective 1 Credit 11th, 12th
Advanced Math (HONORS) This course is for students who have excelled in Algebra II or Algebra II (Honors). The emphasis is on preparing students for calculus. The first semester covers the same topics as Advanced Math (regular). In addition, the factor theory and synthetic substitution are studied. The second semester covers the same topics as in Trigonometry (Regular). These topics are covered in more depth than in regular Trigonometry. The graphing calculator and computer software are used extensively throughout the course. Applicants must meet honors program standards. Elective 1 Credit 11th, 12th
Remediation Math A remedial senior math elective for students who need extensive remediation to prepare for college math courses, the course parallels the remedial math course at the University of Louisiana course syllabus. Graphing calculators are used extensively in the course. Elective 1 Credit 12th
Calculus (HONORS) This course is for students who have successfully completed Advanced Math (Regular or Honors). Following a review of pre-calculus, topics covered include functions, models, limits and derivatives, differentiation and applications, integrals and applications, and differential equations. The graphing calculator & computer software are used throughout the course. Prerequisite: completion of Advanced Math Honors or Advanced Math with a grade of C or better. Elective 1 Credit 12th
