6th and 7th Grade Math
In this course mathematics is combined with other disciplines, helping students appreciate the practical value of mathematical study. Much of this math curriculum is integrated around units students are studying in Environmental Science and Humanities, and the also practice reading, listening, and speaking skills to communicate mathematical ideas in narrative form. In the process students firm up their computational skills, explore geometry, and increase their skills with percents, proportions, statistics, and basic algebra. The general math program teaches students how to think mathematically by emphasizing a problem solving approach. This enables students to learn not only the basics of understanding of mathematical functions and relationships.

Pre-algebra
Seventh grade mathematics continues the skills and understandings of integrated mathematics by making arithmetic applications to the studies of Humanities and Life Science. Along with this applied math, pre-algebra and pre-geometry are the main focus of study. Computer application and written expression are strong components of the course. Students approach algebraic ideas through investigations, searching for patterns and relationships in data. They express these patterns first in words and then in symbols. Students seek similarities and differences across patterns, predict patterns of change in variables, and begin to develop and understanding of mathematical functions and relationships.

Algebra 1
This course builds on the mathematical foundation provided in Pre-Algebra. New concepts are introduced which include linear equations, Cartesian graphs, and fundamental concepts of higher math: exponents, quadratic equations, systems of equations, statistics and probability, and transformations. Applications drive the course topics and technology is used for graphing. The program continues an emphasis on integrations and connections and encourages active and cooperative learning.

Algebra 2 /Trigonometry
In Algebra II students begin preparation for college level concepts. Coursework includes review of basic algebraic concepts, solving equations, direct and inverse variations and their graphs, mathematical modeling, linear relations, systems of equations, parabolas and quadratic equations, complex numbers, functions, powers, roots, exponents and logarithms. Trigonometry is introduced with its applications including the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. Emphasis is placed on independent learning and resourceful problem solving. Students also come to understand that mathematics is not learned in isolation of other discipl

Geometry
The study of geometry addresses points, lines, polygons, transformation, congruence, similarity, distances, area, volumes, and coordinates. Students see that in nature there are geometrical patterns that have become universal human expressions in art form as well as manifestations in social design. This course emphasizes independent learning and problem solving. ines.

Pre-Calculus
This course integrates functions, statistics, and trigonometry and applies the algebra and geometry that the students have studied in previous years. Sequences, counting problems and other topics from discrete mathematics are also found and the course contains many topics of pre calculus courses.

Calculus
The course consists of a brief review of Pre-Calculus including limits and continuity. The rest of the course consists of the derivative and its applications, integration and its applications. including exponential and trigonometric functions. The course is designed to cover the concepts tested on the Advanced Placement AP Calculus Test.
