BASIC MATH:  This is a special remedial mathematics course.  Emphasis is placed on the fundamental operations of arithmetic.  This is a Chapter I class.  Students are selected on the Iowa Basic Skills test.

ALGEBRA:  Algebra is basically a study of the properties of real numbers as they apply to the solving of linear, quadratic and fractional equations.  This course also includes sections on negative numbers, inequalities, polynomials and graphing.  College Prep.    The course is recommended for better than average math students.

ALGEBRA B:  This class has the same course outline as Algebra.  Students are placed in Algebra B by instructor's recommendation.

BASIC MATH 10:  This is a Chapter I remedial class for sophomores.  Students are selected on the Iowa Basic Skills test.

CONSUMER MATH:  This is a basic math course using the fundamentals of Algebra to solve such everyday mathematical problems as personal finance, savings and investment, buying problems, home expenses, taxation, etc.  It is for students who have completed Algebra or Algebra B.  Algebra students may take this course only with the recommendation of their algebra teacher.  Not college prep.

GEOMETRY:  This course is designed to provide a better understanding of a mathematical system, a knowledge of basic structures of geometry, spatial visualization, basic understanding of coordinate geometry, and inductive and deductive reasoning patterns,  A study of parallel and perpendicular lines, congruent triangles, similar polygons, circles, construction, and area relationships will be included.  College prep. 

GEOMETRY B:  This class has the same course outline as Geometry.  Students are placed in Geometry B by instructor's recommendation.

ALGEBRA II/TRIG.:  Algebra II reviews and expands on topics presented in algebra and geometry and introduces the students to more advanced mathematics.  The study of exponentials, logarithms, and trigonometric identities is included.  Matrices and probability are included if time permits.  The course is a must for students who plan on going to college and those interested in such courses as chemistry, physics, and advanced biology.  Students my take geometry and algebra II with consent of department.  College prep.

INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA:  The class description is the same as Algebra II.  This course is not as in-depth and is designed for students desiring another math credit but whose pervious math courses included Algebra B and Geometry B.

ANALYSIS:  This course is designed to provide a preparation for college courses in calculus, abstract algebra, and probability.  A strong background in algebra and geometry is essential before taking this course.  Ordered fields, mathematical induction, vectors, functions, logarithms, trigonometry, analytic geometry and matrices will be studied.  College prep.

*CALCULUS:  this is an advanced placement course where students may receive college credit if they pass a test with a required grade at the end of the year.  All students anticipating entering a math or science field in college should consider this course.  Course content is identical to what students would encounter in their first year of calculus in college.  AP class.

MATH:  The educational content is determined by the specific needs of each student and an individualized educational program is prescribed.
