This course is the second year of a two-year paced algebra program. A variety of functions are explored with an emphasis on polynomial and quadratic functions. Emphasis is also given to simplifying rational and radical expressions. The depth of instruction and pace of this course is designed for students who need to spend additional time in learning algebra concepts. UC/CSU

Algebra IB Syllabus

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Qualifying score on math assessment
Teacher: Rachel Haislet

Algebra I is a college-preparatory course that aims to develop understanding and computational skills using the real number system. A variety of functions are explored with emphasis on linear and quadratic functions. Relevant problems are solved with the use of appropriate technology. UC/CSU

Algebra 1 Syllabus

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “C” in Algebra I or qualifying score on math assessment
Teacher: Jon Sugimoto

This course applies a deductive approach to learning the principles of geometry. Emphasis is put on problem solving, visual patterns and proofs. Topics covered are angles, congruent and similar triangles, circles, polygons, area, volume, and Pythagorean Theorem. UC/CSU

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “C” in both Algebra I and Geometry
Teacher: Jon Sugimoto

Algebra II reviews topics from Algebra I and goes into greater detail covering linear and quadratic functions. Other topics covered are powers and roots, complex numbers, conic sections and exponential and logarithmic functions. UC/CSU

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “B” in second semester Algebra I and minimum grade “B” in geometry.
Teacher: 

This course covers all of the topics in Algebra II in addition to an introduction to trigonometry. UC/CSU

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “B” in second semester Algebra II or minimum grade of “C” in Algebra II/Trig
Teacher: Carol Johnson

Topics from Algebra II/Trig are looked at from the perspective of function analysis with an eye toward application to calculus. Topics include polynomials, rational functions, trigonometric concepts and functions, vectors, complex variables and the exponential and log functions. UC/CSU

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “B” in second semester Pre-Calculus
Teacher: Carol Johnson

This is a first semester college-level calculus course that is designed to span one year for the qualified high school student. This course covers concepts of limit, derivative, definite integrals and indefinite integrals. Students are expected to use high-level thinking skills and perform academically at a college-level. Lessons will be taught through the means of lectures, group discussions and projects. Students may earn college credit if they pass the Advanced Placement exam given in the spring. UC/CSU

Two Semesters

Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “B” in Algebra II Trigonometry
Teacher: Joan Rickard

The purpose of the AP course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes: 1) Exploring data: describing patterns and departures from patterns; 2) Sampling and experimentation: planning and conducting a study; 3) Anticipating patterns: exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation; 4) Statistical inference: estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses. Students who successfully complete the course and exam may receive credit, advanced placement or both for a one-semester introductory college statistics course. UC/CSU
