ALL MATH COURSES REQUIRE TEACHER SIGNATURE ON FORM. M148 Sheltered Math 1S:This is a 2 quarter
course which covers basic math skills for students who have limited
English proficiency. M948
Sheltered Math Lab: This sequence of
2 quarter courses is for the student who is limited
English proficient and who is not yet ready for a mainstream math
course. All work will be done independently and cover material including
Math A, Basic Algebra, Algebra 1C, Algebra 2C, or higher. M302,
M312 Basic Algebra 1S, 3S: (2 terms) This is a 4 quarter algebra
course designed for the vocationally oriented student. The course is also of value for students who
seek a college degree but whose math skills may not be strong enough
to handle the speed of the 1 year algebra course.
Completion of this 1S-4S sequence meets the UC/CSU ìCî requirements
as Algebra 1C. M400
Algebra 1C: This is a 2 quarter course in Algebra emphasizing problem
solving, equations, and graphing. It
is for the college bound student. To take this course
you should have good ability in math, C's or better in math, and a readiness
to work. This course meets
the UC/CSU ìCî requirements. M410
Algebra 1H: (2 quarter/also summer)
This course covers the material of Algebra 1C and more.
Topics are covered with a mathematical rigor much beyond that
of Algebra 1C. To take
this course you should be mathematically talented and have an excellent
grade record in math. This
course meets the UC/CSU ìCî requirements. M322,
M932 Basic Geometry 1S, 3S: A
2 year, 4 term sequence in Euclidean geometry which gives students the
same experience as Geometry 1C over a 2 year period. Students who do especially well in Basic Geometry 1S and 2S should
be directed into Geometry 1C to get use to the pacing of the standard
college prepatory course work. This
sequence of geometry courses meets the CSU/UC ìCî requirements. Prerequisite: Basic Algebra 1S/2S and Basic Algebra 3S/4S
or students with low grades in Algebra 1C.
Constraint: Students who
are successful in Algebra 1C should be programmed into Geometry 1C.Ý Completion of this 1S-4S sequence meets
the UC/CSU ìCî requirements as Geometry 1C. M420
Geometry 1C: This is a 2 quarter
course in geometry emphasizing problem solving for college bound students.
To take this course you should have passed Algebra 1 with C's or better.
This course meets the UC/CSU ìCî requirements. M430
Geometry 1H: This is a traditional
2 quarter course in Euclidian Geometry for motivated students having
above average math skills. Proof,
standard two and three dimensional relationships, coordinate geometry,
and introductory trigonometry are emphasized. To take
this course you should be mathematically talented and have an excellent
grade record in math and teacher recommendation. This course meets
the UC/CSU ìCî requirements. M440
Algebra 2C: This is a 2 quarter
course that will greatly expand your ability in Algebra with heavy emphasis
on problem solving and the use of the graphing calculator. It is for
the college bound student. To take
this course you should have passed Geometry 1C with ìCîs or better.
This course meets the UC/CSU ìCî requirements. M450
Algebra 2H: (2 quarter or summer)
- This a traditional Algebra 2H course for motivated students having
above average math skills. Problem
solving, equations, sequences and series, and trigonometry are emphasized. To take
this course you should be mathematically talented and have an excellent
grade record in math and teacher recommendation. This course meets the UC/CSU ìCî requirements. M520
Pre-Calculus 1H 1-2: This is a 2 quarter
course which prepares students interested in highly technical fields
like engineering, physics, computer science, and math and who must take
a rigorous course in calculus. Content
includes polynomial, exponential, log, and trig functions, sequences
and series, linear algebra, and coordinate geometry. ìBî or better in Algebra 2C.
M550/M560
AP Calculus AB/BC:Ý This 4 quarter course
is designed for the advanced math student who desires an introduction
to college calculus.Ý We will
be covering the foundations of both differential and integral calculus.Ý Students are prepared to take the AB or BC
advance placement exam. Prerequisite:
Pre-Calculus. M570
AP Statistics: This 2 quarter course
is an ideal course for juniors
and seniors who are interested in college majors such as psychology,
sociology, health science, and business.
The course is equivalent to an introductory, non-calculus based
college course and will additionally focus on preparation for the AP
Exam in May. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra 2C. Y536
Computer Programming 1H: This
is a 2 quarter computer programming
course for the college-bound student. Students will learn to develop algorithms to solve problems, to write
programs, and to diagnose errors in the algorithms and their programs.
Prerequisite: Successful completion
of Algebra II (or concurrent enrollment) or consent of instructor.
This course meets the University of California ìFî requirement. Y560
Advanced Placement Computer Sciences 1H:
This is a 2 quarter course intended to serve both as an introductory
course for computer science majors and as a substantial service course
for people who will major in other disciplines that require significant
involvement with computing. The
major emphasis is an Advanced Placement Computer Science course in on
programming methodology, algorithms, and data structures.
Applications of computing provide the context in which these
subjects are treated. Applications
are used to develop student awareness of the need of particular algorithms
and data structures as well as to provide topics for programming assignments
to which students can apply their knowledge.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra II (or concurrent enrollment) and
concurrent enrollment in Computer Programming 1C or consent of instructor.
This course meets the University of California ìFî requirement. |
