Math

This class will cover the basic concepts of discrete math which will include: finite graphs, matrices, fair share/ voting methods, and problem solving strategies.

This class will cover the basic concepts of probability and statistics which will include graphing, making predictions, designing and testing hypotheses.

Intermediate Algebra extends and strengthens concepts covered in Beginning Algebra. Functions are introduced and integrated throughout the course where appropriate in the context of the following topics: linear equations, inequalities and graphs; absolute value equations and inequalities; operations on polynomials; rational expressions, equations and inequalities; radical expressions and equations; and quadratic equations, inequalities and graphs. Appropriate college placement score applies.

College Mathematics applies practical knowledge of college-level mathematics to real-life problems. Topics include critical thinking, proportional reasoning, linear and exponential growth and decay, geometry, personal finance, probability, and statistics, with an emphasis on understanding concepts and their applications. College Math is recommended for students majoring in the liberal arts, elementary education, and the social sciences whose major does not require College Algebra or Precalculus.

This course prepares students to demonstrate mathematical knowledge as a key life skill, and as a basis for more advanced study. Students will develop a feel for numbers, patterns and relationships, with a strong emphasis on solving problems and presenting and interpreting results. Students also learn howto communicate and reason using mathematical concepts. This course will allow students to develop their mathematical knowledge and oral, written and practical skills; read mathematics, and write and talk about the subject in a variety of ways; apply mathematics in everyday situations and develop an understanding of the part which mathematics plays in the world around them. The course is equivalent to Algebra I credit with supplemental Cambridge material to enrich and expand concepts. This course is required for Arizona’s Grand Canyon High School Diploma.

This course investigates many of the high school concepts of geometry, logic, and reasoning and continues the theme of Cambridge Year 1. Students also learn how to communicate and reason using mathematical concepts. This course will allow students to develop their mathematical knowledge and oral, written and practical skills; read mathematics, and write and talk about the subject in a variety of ways; apply mathematics in everyday situations and develop an understanding of the part which mathematics plays in the world around them. The course is equivalent to a Geometry credit with supplemental Cambridge material to enrich and expand concepts. This course is required for Arizona’s Grand Canyon High School Diploma.

Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics (US) allows students to: • further develop their use of mathematical concepts and principles - extend their mathematical skills and their use in more advanced techniques - solve problems, present solutions logically, and interpret results - develop a solid foundation for further study. Our programs balance a thorough knowledge and understanding of a subject and help to develop the skills learners need for their next steps in education or employment. The course s equivalent to an Algebra II credit with supplemental Cambridge material to enrich and expand concepts.

The purpose of this course is to enable students to develop an understanding of mathematical principles and an appreciation of mathematics as a logical and coherent subject; acquire a range of mathematical skills, particularly those which will enable them to use applications of mathematics in the context of everyday situations and of other subjects they may be studying; develop the ability to analyze problems logically, recognize when and how a situation may be represented mathematically, identify and interpret relevant factors, and, where necessary, select an appropriate mathematical method to solve the problem; use mathematics as a means of communication with emphasis on the use of clear expression. This course is recommended for the Cambridge AICE diploma.

College Algebra is the study and analysis of linear, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, equations and inequalities, conic sections, systems of equations and matrices, and sequences and series, with an emphasis on problem solving and multiple representations.

A study of the trigonometric functions and their graphs and inverses, trigonometric identities, and the applications of these functions to right and oblique triangles, vectors, complex numbers, and polar and parametric equations.
