Course: Geometry
Level: Workshop, College Prep, Honors
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Algebra 1
This two-semester course develops methods of logical thinking areas using subject-specific vocabulary and a collection of useful statements about plane figures and relationships between them. All basic geometric content
and many applications are presented – points, lines, distances, angles, and other figures to be applied during mathematical explanations and discussions. The course will overview and develop mathematical skills relating
to the study of geometric concepts including the basic elements of geometry and construction, proofs, parallels and perpendicular lines, ratios and proportions, the coordinate plane, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles,
trigonometry, congruence and similarity, surface area, volume and transformations.
Course: Probability & Statistics
Level: Workshop, College Prep
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite:
Algebra 2
This college preparatory course provides a solid background in descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, and discrete and continuous distributions. In this course, students will summarize, represent, and interpret data on a measurement variable as well as quantitative variables. Additionally, students will interpret linear models, understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments, make inferences and justify conclusions. Students will understand independence and conditional probability as well as use rules of probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions.
Level: Workshop, College Prep
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Geometry
This college preparatory course examines linear, circular, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions; matrices, vectors, and linear systems; and trigonometric formulas, graphs, inverses, and their applications. The second semester examines polar coordinates; sequences and series with introduction of limits; graphs of lines and conics; probability and descriptive statistics.
Level: Workshop, College Prep
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Geometry
This one semester, college preparatory course examines trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, analytic trigonometry, graphing of functions, and the Law of Sines and Cosines. This course enables students to understand trigonometric principles and to be able to apply them in various fields of mathematics. Additional topics for this course include a study of functions of angles of any size, the solution of triangles, and the use of various trigonometric formulas and identities such as the Pythagorean identities as well as the half and double angle identities. The math elective supports college/career readiness and provides additional support and preparation for advanced, honors and/or AP course level mathematics.
Level: Workshop, College Prep
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Algebra 2
This one semester, college preparatory course examines all standard topics in statistics through two-way analysis of variance. Concentration is on the basic concepts with secondary emphasis on their application. Students will also interpret linear models, understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments, make inferences and justify conclusions. They will begin to develop an understanding of independence and conditional probability and use statistical data to evaluate situations and decisions.
Course: AP Calculus AB
Level: AP
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite:
Pre-Calculus
AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. You’ll learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and how to make connections amongst these representations. You will learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions situations and decisions.
Level: AP
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Calculus AB
AP Calculus BC is roughly equivalent to both first and second semester college calculus courses and extends the content learned in AB to different types of equations and introduces the topic of sequences and series. The AP course covers topics in differential and integral calculus, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and series. The course teaches students to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and to make connections amongst these representations. Students learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions.

The fundamental purpose of the Model Mathematics II course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades in addition to early high school math courses. This course is comprised of standards selected from the high school conceptual categories, which were written to encompass the scope of content and skills to be addressed throughout grades 9–12 rather than through any single course. As such, this college preparatory course examines integrated mathematics, which includes concepts from algebra, geometry, logic, probability, statistics and is an extension of Integrated Mathematics I. This course is an approximate equivalent to an Algebra 2 with trigonometry course.
The fundamental purpose of the Model Mathematics III course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the earlier high school courses. This course is comprised of standards selected from the high school conceptual categories, which were written to encompass the scope of content and skills to be addressed throughout grades 9–12 rather than through any single course. As such, this college preparatory course examines integrated mathematics, which includes concepts from algebra, geometry, logic, probability, statistics, and pre-calculus. For the high school Model Mathematics III course, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) apply methods from probability and statistics to draw inferences and conclusions from data; (2) expand understanding of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions; (3) expand right triangle trigonometry to include general triangles; and (4) consolidate functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems.

Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra
Business Mathematics is a two-semester course of which students learn to use mathematics effectively as a tool in their personal and business lives. After students have completed this course, they will be able to apply mathematical concepts in various personal and business situations. This course may be used to meet the mathematics requirements for graduation.
Level: Workshop, College Prep
UC a-g Designation: Mathematics
Credits: 10
Recommended Prerequisite: Algebra 2
This course is designed to prepare students for further study of mathematics at the college level. All standard Math Analysis/Pre-calculus topics will be presented. Integration of technology, such as the use and programming of graphing calculators, throughout the units will prepare students for participation in a technological society. In-depth study of such topics as the family of functions (e.g. polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric), limits, derivatives, vectors, matrices, sequences, and series will be undertaken.
The one-to-one is key. My son always struggled with more advanced math and only became successful when we got him out of the 35 to 40 plus student classroom.
