This course is designed primarily for ninth grade students. Although this course is vital to the college bound student, it also serves the non-college bound student as a thorough introduction to the concepts and fundamental uses of algebra.
Strong emphasis is placed on the solution of problems involving both one and two variables.
The focus of the course is the development of geometry skills. Proficiency math is designed as a remediation course for students who have failed to pass the math portion of the 9 th Grade Proficiency Examination. In addition to passing coursework, the student must pass the Proficiency test to earn course credit. Students begin with a review of basic mathematical concepts. Besides the standard Algebra II course of study, the student will be introduced to trigonometry.
