This course fulfills the Algebra credit required for graduation. This course moves at an accelerated pace
requiring at least one hour per day of outside work.

Geometry
This one-year course is a logical development of the inductive and deductive systems of reasoning.
Emphasis is on developing visualization abilities, analytical skills, and logical reasoning through
activity-oriented methods of instruction. The prerequisite for this course is successful completion of Algebra I
or Applied Algebra. Technology, including calculators and/or computer software, will be used throughout the
course. A student geometry kit is required.

Geometry H
This course covers the same units as Geometry. However, more emphasis is on the development of logic,
formal proofs, and algebraic applications to geometry.  This course moves at an accelerated pace requiring
at least one hour per day of outside work.

Algebra II
This is a second-year course that includes the study of polynomial functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, absolute value functions, composite and inverse functions, sequence, series and systems of equations and inequities. Technology including graphing calculators and/or computer software will be used throughout this course.

Algebra II H
This course covers the same units as Algebra II.  This course moves at an accelerated pace requiring at least one hour per day of outside work. It is strongly recommended that students own a graphing calculator

Math II
This course is designed for students who wish to become knowledgeable consumers and capable
money managers. The emphasis will be on refining problem-solving skills, using alternative sources
of information, using technology, and working on small group projects within the context of business
and consumer applications. This course will fulfill one of the mathematics or elective credits required
for graduation.

Math 116
This course is designed for students who wish to become knowledgeable consumers and capable
money managers. The emphasis will be on refining problem-solving skills, using alternative sources
of information, using technology, and working on small group projects within the context of business
and consumer applications. This course will fulfill one of the mathematics or elective credits required
for graduation.

Probablity and Statistics
This one-year or one-semester course is intended for students who have completed at least one year of
Geometry, one year of Algebra I or Applied Algebra, and one year of Algebra II.  It will include the study
of statistical graphing techniques, measures of center and variance, combinatorics, distributions, and events
and their probabilities. The use of a graphing calculator and computer software is an integral part of this
class. This course will fulfill one credit or one-half credit of the mathematics credits required for graduation.

PreCalculus/Trigonometry H
This one-year course is designed for the motivated, above-average student with a strong background
in advanced mathematics. The first semester will include problem-solving techniques using analytic geometry,
vectors, matrices, relations and functions, methods of proof, probability and statistics, and the use of
derivatives and integrals. The use of a graphing calculator and appropriate computer software is integral to
the study of pre-calculus topics. Second semester will include the study of both right-triangle and circular
trigonometric functions. Additional topics introduced are trigonometric identities solutions of trigonometric
equations, and polar coordinates. The graphing calculator and/or computer software will be used to model
application problems from physics, engineering, electronics, surveying, and navigation where applicable.
It is strongly recommended that students own a graphing calculator.
This course will fulfill one of the mathematics credits required for graduation.

AP Calculus
This one-year, college-level course is intended for the students who have a thorough knowledge of
pre-calculus mathematics. This course includes a brief review of pre-calculus topics, a study of limits,
and the differentiation and integration of functions of a single variable. Emphasis will be placed on the
application of technology and theory to solve problems.
It is strongly recommended that students own a graphing calculator.
This course will fulfill one unit of the mathematics or elective credits required for graduation.
It is expected students will take the AP exam in May. See your school counselor if you have a
financial hardship.

Math Applications
This course is designed for eleventh and twelfth grade students needing further assistance in preparing
for the Nevada High School Proficiency Exam (NHSPE) in Mathematics. This course builds on the concepts
of algebra, geometry, and data analysis while solidifying and extending mathematical concepts, problem
solving, and procedures. The use of appropriate technology and hands-on activities are essential to this
learning environment. This course fulfills one of the mathematics or elective credits required for graduation.

Applied Algebra B
This one-year course is designed to meet the needs of students who had Applied Algebra I A. This
second course in a two-year sequence will cover Chapters 7-13 in the textbook. The expanded format
will allow additional time for review and extra skills practice. Technology will be used throughout the course.
This course fulfills one-half of the Algebra credit required for graduation.

Mathamatics of Finance
This one-year, supplemental course in mathematics is designed for students who need additional
instruction and support to master necessary mathematical concepts. It is designed to provide students with
additional instruction in conjunction with the student’s course of study. This course will fulfill one of the
elective credits required for high school graduation. This course does not fulfill one of the mathematics
credits required for graduation.

Applied Algebra II
This one-year course is designed for students who have completed Algebra I and Geometry but do
not feel confident to take a regular Algebra II course. This course will provide opportunities to extend
problem-solving abilities and reinforce previously studied skills. This will be achieved through using
the approved Algebra II text in combination with a supplemental problem-solving text, and graphing
calculators. Connections between mathematical studies and real-world applications will focus on
developing problem-solving skills integrating algebra, geometry, and data analysis. Technology,
including graphing calculators and computer software, will be used throughout the course. This course
will fulfill one of the mathematics credits required for graduation.

Algebra A
This one-year course is designed to meet the needs of students who have performed below average in
math, yet still desire to gain the foundations of Algebra I. The first course in a two-year sequence will cover
Chapters 1-6 in the textbook. The expanded format will allow additional time for review and extra skills
practice. Technology will be used throughout the course. This course fulfills one-half of the Algebra credit
required for graduation.
