    Algebra 1-2 with Math Seminar
    Using the representation of functions as a unifying theme, students are introduced to linear, quadratic, exponential, and polynomial functions through graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations. They learn to solve linear equations, inequalities, systems of equations, and quadratic equations and deepen their understanding of basic algebraic concepts through hands-on activities. They also develop confidence in their ability to think mathematically.
     
    Algebra 3-4
    Students learn about modeling data and problem situations with functions, specifically linear quadratic, polynomial, exponential, rational, radical, and logarithmic functions. They are also introduced to complex numbers and problems in trigonometry and statistics. Students work both individually and in groups to solve problems, apply mathematics, and communicate their reasoning.
     
    Calculus
    In this two-semester course, students focus on differential and integral calculus. Specifically, students learn the meaning of the derivative in terms of a rate of change and as a linear local approximation. In addition, students learn the meaning of the definite integral as a limit of Riemann sums and as the net accumulation of change and the indefinite integral as the antiderivative.
     
    Geometry
    Students study two and three-dimensional shapes and their relationships in plane and space. Students also classify and describe shapes in terms of congruence, similarity, and transformations. They are introduced to different forms of mathematical logic, including inductive and deductive reasoning, and solve measurement and algebraic problems using properties, proportions, and trigonometric relationships.
     
    Math In Society
    In this dual credit course with Portland Community College, students use Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets to study financial math, statistics, probability, and logic. Students may be able to earn college credit upon successful completion of the course.
     
     
    Pre-Calculus
    Students study advanced algebraic concepts through examinations of exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, rational, and trigonometric functions. They explore relations and functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally.
