Mathematics

Geometry, 5.00 cr.
310 – honors

The traditional topics of Euclidean Geometry are presented with a focus on students using a discovery method to investigate and make conjectures about geometric properties. Topics include inductive reasoning, parallel and perpendicular lines, constructions, congruence and similarity, triangles, transformations, polygons and circles, area and volume, right triangle trigonometry, proofs, and probability. There is emphasis on the student’s ability to “put it all together” - to complete an investigation, make a conjecture, prove the conjecture, apply the conjecture, and communicate their reasoning to others.

AP Statistics, Grades 11, 12 5.00 cr.
336

There is a college board exam fee associated with this course.

This course is designed to meet the Advanced Placement curriculum. Students will be prepared to take the AP exam and must do so in order to earn AP credit on their school transcript. Topics will include exploring and representing quantitative and categorical distributions, modeling with Normal distributions, describing bivariate data relationships with regression and correlation, designing observational studies and experiments, producing data through sampling and experiments, calculating experimental and theoretical probabilities, including binomial and geometric distributions, combining and defining random variables, and using inference methods. Inference methods include significance tests and confidence intervals for one and two-sample problems, chi-square tests, and slope regression. A review for the AP exam is included prior to the exam. Students will work in cooperative groups and make extensive use of the graphing calculator. Juniors must be currently enrolled in Honors PreCalculus in order to enroll into AP Statistics.
