Algebra I
This high school graduation requirement course serves as the gateway for advanced mathematical courses by providing a complete foundation of the topics in
elementary algebra and data analysis. The core instructional objectives are defined by NYC High School Core Learning Goals 1 and 3. Learning objectives extend to include quadratic and exponential functions. Instructional emphasis is placed on analyzing patterns and functions, modeling real-life situations,collecting, organizing and analyzing data, and using data to make predictions.
Students are required to pass the McKinney High School Assessment for Algebra/Data Analysis at the completion of this course. Graphing calculator required. Students will take the Regents examination in Algebra 1.
Geometry
This high school graduation requirement course serves as the second in the series of advanced mathematical courses by providing a complete foundation of the geometry topics. The core instructional objectives are defined by the NYC High School Core Learning Goal 2. Students will represent problem situations with geometric models, classify figures in terms of congruence and similarity, and deduce properties of and relationships between figures from given assumptions.
Graphing calculator recommended.
Prerequisite: Algebra I credit
Algebra II
This course will expand student's knowledge of functions to include exponential, logarithmic and power functions by examining real-world problems. Students will
gain an understanding of the characteristics and transformation of functions.
Graphing calculator required.
Prerequisites: Recommended Geometry credit or Concurrent enrollment in Geometry and Algebra I (“C”or better)
ADVANCED PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
