Argyle School District

Algebra I

Prerequisites: None

Two Semesters- 1.0 credit Required Grade 9

In this course you will study properties and operations of the real number system; evaluating rational algebraic expressions; solving and graphing first degree equations and inequalities; translating word problems into equations; operations with and factoring of polynomials; and solving simple quadratic equations.

Geometry

Prerequisites: Algebra I

Two Semesters- 1.0 credit Required Grade 9-10

This course emphasizes an abstract, formal approach to the study of geometry, typically including topics such as properties of plane and solid figures; deductive methods of reasoning and use of logic; geometry as an axiomatic system including the study of postulates, theorems, and formal proofs; concepts of congruence, similarity, parallelism, perpendicularity, and proportion; and rules of angle measurement in triangles.

Algebra II

Prerequisites: Algebra I & Geometry

Two Semesters- 1.0 credit Grades 10-12

Algebra II course topics typically include field properties and theorems; set theory; operations with rational and irrational expressions; factoring of rational expressions; in-depth study of linear equations and inequalities; quadratic equations; solving systems of linear and quadratic equations; graphing of constant, linear, and quadratic equations; properties of higher degree equations; and operations with rational and irrational exponents.

Advanced Mathematics

Prerequisites: Algebra II (Must have passed with a C or Higher)

Two Semesters- 1.0 credit Grades 11-12

Advanced Mathematics solidifies quantitative literacy through the use and extension of Algebra II and Trigonometry. This course prepares students for postsecondary liberal studies in mathematics coursework. Course content typically includes algebraic operations, solutions of equations and inequalities, number sets, coordinate geometry, functions and graphs, probability and statistics, basic trigonometry, and data representation.

Applied Math

Prerequisites: None

Two Semesters- 1.0 credit Grade 11-12

This class is designed to provide extensive real world applications in each area of study. The course is divided into two parts—Business and Occupational Math. The Business Unit covers Data (analysis, creating, organizing, and graphs), Statistics (dealing with variability, normal distribution, quality control, and correlation), Finance (costs involving saving, borrowing, billing, etc.) and Algebra (review of basic Algebra topics). The Occupational Unit covers Measurement (measuring with different tools, converting units between English and Metric, Problems with Tolerance), Topics in Geometry (Triangles, angles, Perimeter, Area, and Volume), and Trigonometry (basic triangle properties, right triangle trigonometry).

Calculus

Prerequisites: Advanced Mathematics

Two Semesters- 1.0 credit Grade 12

Calculus includes the study of derivatives, differentiation, integration, the definite and indefinite integral, and applications of calculus. Typically, students have previously attained knowledge of pre-calculus topics (some combination of Trigonometry, elementary functions, analytic geometry, and math analysis).

Construction Math

Prerequisites: Algebra & Geometry

One Semester-0.5 credit Grades 10-12

Construction Math will be a course that you will learn different math that is used within the construction world. This class will talk about weights, conversions, area, triangles. This class will also cover how to estimate the cost of projects, varying in sizes from a simple dog house to an actual house.
