*When Algebra I is taken in middle school, the grade earned is automatically placed on the student’s official high school transcript. A written request to have it removed is required by both the student and parent or guardian. The request must be received before the end of the student’s junior year in high school. 

NOTE: This class DOES NOT fulfill the math requirement needed for graduation.
Algebra Enrichment is designed as a support course for Algebra I. The course provides students with additional time to build the foundations necessary for high school math courses, while concurrently having access to rigorous, grade-level appropriate courses. Students will review standards from the middle grades which include the following: relationships between quantities and reasoning with equations, linear and exponential relationships, descriptive statistics, and expressions and equations.

REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION
NOTE:  A scientific calculator is required.

In Algebra I students will build on previously learned concepts in algebraic thinking while continuing to develop mathematical practices. Students will learn to use functions to represent relationships mathematically using words, concrete elements, numbers, graphs, and algebraic expressions. They will explore concepts in linear and non-linear equations and functions, systems of linear equations and inequalities, exponential and polynomial expressions and functions, and quadratic functions and equations.

REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION
NOTE: Compass, protractor, ruler, and scientific calculator are required.

Students learn strategies in analyzing geometric figures such as points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, special quadrilaterals, parallel and perpendicular lines, circles, polygons, polyhedrons, prisms, cylinders, cones and pyramids.  Students study concepts of congruency and similarity, apply deductive and inductive reasoning, examine concepts from coordinate and transformational geometry, and apply their algebra skills and problem-solving techniques to geometric and real world problems.

Honors Geometry is a course designed for students who are advanced in mathematics.  The students will learn basic strategies in analyzing geometric figures in real world problems as well as some advanced methods to better prepare them for future math courses.  The students will study figures such as parallel and perpendicular lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, polyhedrons, prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids and circles.  They will study concepts such as deductive reasoning, congruence, similarity, coordinate geometry and transformations.

NOTE: This course or an equivalent third year of math is REQUIRED for graduation. A scientific calculator is required.

Building on previous work with linear, quadratic and exponential functions, students will extend their study to include polynomial, rational and radical functions.  Students will work with expressions and equations and improve their ability to model situations using all of these functions.

NOTE: This course or an equivalent third year of math is REQUIRED for graduation. A scientific calculator is required.

Algebra II Honors is a course designed for advanced, college-bound students.  This is a fast-paced and rigorous course designed to better prepare students for the advanced math courses. It is a continuation of Algebra I but in much greater depth and detail.  The emphasis is still on symbolism, functions and graphing, but the course has a unit in advanced probability. Linear and quadratic functions are studied in more depth, and polynomial, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions are introduced.

NOTE: This course or an equivalent third year of math is REQUIRED for graduation.

Students apply algebra concepts to a variety of business and personal finance situations. Applications may include income, insurance, credit, loans, banking, taxation, stocks and bonds, and finance.

NOTE: This course or an equivalent third year of math is REQUIRED for graduation.

This course extends students' proficiency in mathematics, by applying these skills to technical and/or industrial situations and problems. Technical Mathematics topics may include rational numbers; systems of measurements; tolerances; numerical languages; geometry; algebra; statistics; and using tables, graphs, charts, and other data displays. Technology is integrated as appropriate.

NOTE: Graphing Calculator is needed; TI-89 preferred. College credit (5 quarter credits) is offered through Columbia Gorge Community College. See instructor for details.
