Pre-Algebra: students are taught the skills necessary to be successful when they move on to Algebra and subsequent Math courses. A study guide for this class should include the following concepts.
-
Operations with whole numbers, integers, fractions, and decimals
-
Powers and roots
-
Properties of real numbers and order of operations
-
Ratio, rate, proportion, and percent
-
Algebraic thinking such as patterns, variables, simplifying expressions, and solving equations.
-
Geometry concepts including lines, angles, polygons, measurement, area, volume, and the Pythagorean theorem.
-
Data representation, basic statistics, and simple probability.
​
Common Core course 1-2-3 Common Core Standards require students to use reasoning in real-life situations, whereas traditional math was equation and calculation based.
​
-
problems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons
-
apply reasoning to complete geometric constructions and explain why the constructions work.
-
extend the laws of exponents to rational exponents and explore distinctions between rational and irrational numbers by considering their decimal representations.
-
Students understand the structural similarities between the system of polynomials and the system of integers.
​
English Language Arts Grade 1-7
​
-
Use proper punctuation, capitalization, and noun and verb forms (singular/plural) Understand parts of speech, prefixes, suffixes, homophones, etc. Know the different sentence types.
-

ADVANCED CLASSES
-
AP CALCULUS AB/BC Students cultivate their understanding of differential and integral calculus through engaging with real-world problems represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally and using definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions as they explore concepts like change, limits, and the analysis of functions.
​
-
AP CHEMISTRY understanding of chemistry through inquiry-based lab investigations as they explore the four Big Ideas: scale, proportion, and quantity; structure and properties of substances; transformations; and energy.
-
AP PHYSICS understands physics through classroom study, in-class activity, and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory work as they explore concepts like systems, fields, force interactions, change, conservation, and waves.
-
AP STATISTICS prepares students to collect, analyze, and extrapolate data. Course topics include data-based predictions, variation and distribution, patterns and uncertainty, conclusions, and decisions. The four main themes of the course are as follows: Data Analysis. Using Probability and Simulation.
-
SAT/ACT MATH the topics tested on the SAT Math test are taught in your typical high school Pre-algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus classes.
