LIVE-TAUGHT MATHEMATICS COURSE OFFERINGS​\

 

​

ALGEBRA I

 

Course Overview:  This course takes students on a journey through algebraic concepts and applications. The course focuses on linear equations, inequalities, functions, graphing, systems of equations, polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, probability, statistics, rational expressions, roots, and radicals. Students build critical thinking skills and problem-solving techniques required to grasp algebraic fundamentals. This course is a two-period block that will utilize direct instruction, student practice, and the online program, ALEKS.  At the end of the course, students will take the Pennsylvania Algebra Keystone exam; passing at the proficient or advanced level is required for graduation in the state of Pennsylvania. This course is offered to students in grades 9 and/or 10.

 

Units of Study:

• Numbers & Operations

• Algebra

• Geometry

• Measurement

• Statistics and Probability

 

​

GEOMETRY

 

Course Overview:  Through real-world examples and problems, this course encourages students to see how geometry is useful in everyday life. The course focuses on parallel lines, perpendicular lines, triangles, circles, polygons, area, volume, similarity, trigonometry, geometric reasoning, and proofs. This course also highlights building critical thinking skills and problem-solving techniques required to help students grasp geometric concepts. This course is offered to students in grades 9, 10, 11, and/or 12, and offered at the College Prep and Honors levels.

 

Units of Study:

• Logical reasoning and methods of proof

• Lines in a plane
