  • Algebra I

    Algebra I consists of four units:

    1. Modeling with Linear Equations and Inequalities,
    2. Modeling with Linear Functions, Linear Systems, and Exponential Functions
    3. Quadratic Equations, Functions, and Polynomials, and
    4. Modeling with Statistics.

     

    Algebra II

    This course may be elected following Algebra I or Geometry. Algebra II consists of four units:

    1. Complex Solutions and Modeling with Rational Exponents,
    2. Polynomials and Analysis of Nonlinear Functions,
    3. Periodic Models and the Unit Circle, and
    4. Making Inference, Justifying Conclusion, and Conditional Probability.

     

    Honors Algebra II

    This course is designed for the advanced mathematics students. Honors Algebra II consists of four units:

    1. Complex Solutions and Modeling with Rational Exponents,
    2. Polynomials and Analysis of Nonlinear Functions,
    3. Periodic Models and the Unit Circle, and
    4. Making Inference, Justifying Conclusion, and Conditional Probability.

     

    Geometry

    Geometry may be elected before or after Algebra II. Geometry consists of four units:

    1. Congruence and Constructions,
    2. Congruence, Similarity, and Proof,
    3. Trigonometric Ratios & Geometric Equations, and
    4. Geometric Modeling.

     

    Honors Geometry

    The focus of Honors Geometry is to help obtain a deeper understanding of the foundations of geometry, and to develop the facility to apply those principals as effective problem-solving tools. It is designed to allow students with particularly strong abilities in mathematics and science to delve more deeply into the traditional Geometry curriculum, while also providing them with an opportunity to pursue enrichment topics that would, for practical purposes, not typically be covered in a standard Geometry course. Honors Geometry consists of four units:

     

    Pre-Calculus

    This mathematics course is designed to prepare students for calculus. It is an opportunity to review all of the concepts presented in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. These concepts are then handled in greater detail. The topics covered include trigonometry with graphing in rectangular coordinates, conic sections, graphing functions, limits of functions, logarithms. Graphing calculators are necessary.

     

    Honors Pre-Calculus

    This mathematics course is designed to prepare students for calculus. It is an opportunity to review all of the concepts presented in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. These concepts are then handled in greater detail. The topics covered include trigonometry with graphing in rectangular coordinates, conic sections, graphing functions, limits of functions, logarithms. Graphing calculators are necessary. Honors Pre-Calculus is a college level course geared for the student who will be taking AP Calculus at Glassboro High School, or for the student who will be taking Calculus in college.

     

    Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB

    Calculus is an advanced course that closely parallels the content presently offered in colleges and universities, including differential and integral calculus and topics from analytic geometry. Other topics include coordinate geometry of lined and conic sections, limits, the definition of differentiation plus derivatives, and integrals with their applications. This is an Advanced Placement weighted course that prepares the student for the AP Calculus Test of the College Board.

     

    Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus BC

    This course is a continuation of the curriculum begun in AP Calculus AB/Fall. Concepts and applications in differential and integral calculus introduced in the AB section will be further developed. Topics will include, but are not limited to:  the calculus of parametric, polar, and vector functions, L’Hospital’s Rule, numerical solutions to differential equations using Euler’s method, and the treatment and application of infinite series. Successful students will be prepared to take the AP exam for Calculus BC in May.

    Honors Calculus

    Calculus is a course that closely parallels the content presently offered in colleges and universities, including differential and integral calculus. Other topics include Trigonometry, coordinate geometry of lines and conic sections, limits continuity, the definition of differentiation plus derivatives, and integrals with their applications.

     

    AP Statistics

    The purpose of the Advanced Placement course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes:

    1. Exploring Data: Observing patterns and departures from patterns,
    2. Planning a Study: Deciding what and how to measure,
    3. Anticipating Patterns: Producing models using probability and simulation
    4. Statistical Interference: Confirming models

     

     

     

    *Doubling courses:  If a student wishes to double up Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry, it is important to discuss this with his/her current math teacher. Two courses can be taken in one academic year; one in the fall and one in the spring.

     

    **ALL students enrolled in Mathematics should have their own graphing calculator.
