 MHS Course Descriptions  |
Grades: 10, 11, 12 Math Credits: 10 Required: Geometry with a grade of ‘C’ or better. This class expands on the mathematical content of Algebra 1 and Geometry. Review of those concepts is integrated throughout the course. Emphasis is placed on abstract thinking skills, the function concept, and the algebraic solution of problems. Topics include the solution of systems of quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential series, the complex number system, and trigonometric applications. Calculators are used in solving problems and in making estimates and approximations. |
Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12 Math Credits: 10 Required: Algebra 1 with a grade of ‘C’ or better. This course is a formal development of the geometric skills and concepts necessary for students taking Algebra 2/Trig and other advanced math courses. The course explores the principles of formal logic and their application to geometric proofs, and uses problem-solving skills in the development of geometric concepts. Specific topics emphasized are: Postulates, theorems, perpendicularity, parallelism, congruence, similarity, coordinate geometry, relationships in circles and polygons, introduction to transformational geometry, and right triangle geometry and trigonometry. |
