Upon successful completion of the two-year sequence, students will have completed requirements for algebra I and may enroll in geometry or informal geometry the following year. Informal geometry focuses on plane, solid, and coordinate geometry, without formal proofs as in geometry. Algebra skills are strengthened and extended. I is a course which stresses precision of language and emphasizes algebraic laws and structure. Generalization is used in acquiring manipulative skills and attaining adequate understanding necessary for continued study of mathematics.
Geometry is an integrated course in plane, solid and coordinate geometry.
Emphasis is placed on deductive reasoning and formal proofs. Algebraic skills are strengthened and extended. It provides a foundation for higher level mathematics courses. Mathematics of money is a course that focuses on problem solving and making involving the free enterprise system and the earning, spending, borrowing, and investing of money. I is an elective that may also count as one year of credit in mathematics.
