This is a course designed to meet the needs of those students who desire an acquaintance with the fundamentals of geometry but who do not have the necessary prerequisites for the regular Plane Geometry course. Senior status, juniors may take with the consent of the department. Intermediate Algebra has been designed to complete the fundamental math sequence. Students taking this course will be preparing for further study in mathematics at the post secondary level. Algebra II is a two semester course for college or technically oriented students.
Students delve more deeply into the structure of the real number system.
The Manipulative skill with algebraic fractions, radicals and logarithms are given much consideration, as the ability to use these skills is necessary for success in the courses of mathematics which follow. Programing methodology and procedural abstraction will be emphasized. Students will be encouraged to explore mathematical problems and to write logically structured, well documented programs so that the computer can assist them in their work. This course will prepare the student to take the Advanced Placement Computer Science A test. Algebra II Discrete Mathematics is a one semester course designed to improve the creative thinking and problem solving skills of students.
