Some concepts and skills are introduced earlier than usual while some more difficult or abstract ideas are delayed. Through reading and problem solving, students are encouraged to become more independent learners.
Most colleges require three years of high school math for regular admission.
Any student who desires to be well prepared for a math or science related program should take math analysis, and if possible, calculus. It may prove helpful to students and parents to wait until the first week of school to b buy calculators. Teachers may have recommendations concerning the purchase of any specific calculators. Topics include basic operations with algebraic expressions, simplification of expressions, solving equations, coordinate geometry, exponents, polynomials, systems and quadratic relations. Independent reading and problem solving is expected.
