    • MATH 105 - Math for Liberal Arts Students (4 credits)

Pre-Algebra - 7th/8th grade recommended

Beginning with a review of basic math skills, this course then introduces algebra, geometry, and trigonometry concepts like absolute value, transformations and nets, compound interest, permutations, combinations, and two variable equations.

Students will also be prepared for the future rigors of standardized tests with a set of college test prep questions that follows each block of ten lessons. In addition, a new collection of math-minute interviews brings concepts to life. Adding a human interest to word problems, the insightful interviews help students understand how ordinary people use pre-algebra concepts in their daily vocations.

Materials for Pre-Algebra:

Honors Algebra I (10 credits) - 8th-12th grade recommended

This class utilizes a clear, conversational, engaging approach to teach students Algebra through practical, real-life application, making sure students understand the “why” before tackling the “how!” Students are guided through Algebra with bite-size amounts of information, enabling them to discover concepts and applications for themselves and develop a deep understanding. This class covers 17 sections, including functions and graphs, integers, rational numbers, exponents, polynomials, factoring, fractions, and more.

Materials for Algebra I:

Honors Geometry (10 credits) - 8th-12th grade recommended (not offered this year)

This class uses a clear, conversational, engaging approach to teach students the concepts, principles, and application of Geometry through practical, real-life application, enabling them to discover the concepts & their applications for themselves in order to develop an understanding of the principles that goes beyond simple memorization to pass a test. Students will understand both the why and how of Geometry and thereby establish a strong foundation for higher math & science courses. It covers 16 sections, including deductive reasoning, lines & angles, congruence, inequalities, quadrilaterals, area, triangles, circles, theorems, polygons, geometric solids, and more!

Materials for Geometry:

Honors Algebra II (10 credits) - 10th-12th grade recommended

Algebra II starts where Algebra I leaves off, building on its concepts. It prepares students for the study of pre-calculus. Topics include review of Algebra I concepts; functions; systems of linear equations and inequalities; quadratic functions and complex numbers; exponential and logarithmic functions; and rational and irrational algebraic functions.

Materials for Algebra II:

***NOTE: This text will be used over two years for two courses - Algebra II (Ch. 1-8) and Trigonometry (Ch. 9-15).

Honors Trigonometry (10 credits) - 11th-12th grade recommended

Working through the second half of the textbook, students practice concepts including quadratic relations & systems, higher-degree functions & complex numbers, sequences & series, probability/data analysis/functions of a random variable, trigonometric & circular functions, properties of trigonometric & circular functions, and triangle problems.

This thorough course does an excellent job of preparing students for calculus and college level math.

Materials for Trigonometry:

***NOTE: This text will be used over two years for two courses - Algebra II (Ch. 1-8) and Trigonometry (Ch. 9-15).
