Students will study the relationships between quantities, reasoning with equations, linear and exponential relationships, descriptive statistics, and quadratic functions and modeling. Students will create and solve equations, linear inequalities, and systems of equations involving quadratic equations. They will use technology such as Desmos to aid in solving problems. They will use the GAISE model in the context of real-world applications and will interpret arithmetic sequences as linear functions and geometric sequences as exponential functions. They will interpret functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally while using function notation.

This course is for students taking Algebra 1 over two years. Topics covered year one include expressions and quantities, equations in one variable, relationships and functions, linear and nonlinear functions, creating linear equations and inequalities, and exponents. Students will earn one math credit for this course and one math credit for the next course, Algebra 1 - Part 2. NCAA will only recognize one credit for Algebra 1 - Part 1 and 2.

This course is for students taking Algebra 1 over two years. Topics covered during year two include: systems of equations and inequalities, exponential functions, polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, and statistics. NCAA will only recognize one credit for Algebra 1 - Part 1 and 2.

Students use the languages of set theory to expand their ability to compute and interpret theoretical and experimental probabilities for compound events, attending to mutually exclusive events, independent events, and conditional probability. They use triangle congruence as a familiar foundation for the development of formal and informal proof. Students prove theorems—using a variety of formats—and apply them when solving problems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons. They identify criteria for similarity of triangles, use it as a familiar foundation for the development of informal and formal proofs, problem solving and applications to similarity in right triangles. This will assist in the further development of right triangle trigonometry, with particular attention to special right triangles, right triangles with one side and one acute angle given and the Pythagorean Theorem. Students apply geometric concepts to solve real-world, design and modeling problems. Students prove basic theorems about circles, such as a tangent line is perpendicular to a radius, inscribed angle theorem, and theorems about chords, secants, and study relationships among segments on chords, secants, and tangents as an application of similarity. Students use the distance formula to write the equation of a circle when given the radius and the coordinates of its center.

Algebra 2 provides opportunities to pull together and apply the accumulation of learning from previous mathematics courses, with content grouped into four critical areas, organized into units. Students apply methods from probability and statistics to draw inferences and conclusions from data. They expand their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. The Mathematical Practice Standards together with the content standards provide mathematical experiences in coherent, useful, and logical ways that support students in making sense of problem situations. Students bring together all of their experience with functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems. This course meets the requirement of an Algebra II or equivalent credit for graduation. The critical areas of focus include: 1. Inferences and Conclusions from Data, 2. Polynomials, Rational and Radical Relationships, 3. Trigonometry of General Triangle and Trigonometric Functions, 4. Modeling with Functions.

This year-long course integrates traditional classroom instructional delivery (teacher-directed) with an online digital modularized mastery approach (ALEKS) where students learn with some element of control over time and pacing. Students successfully completing this course are eligible to apply for college-level math coursework through Columbus State Community College. This course enables students to fulfill their Math III requirement and prepares them for possible access to college-level mathematics before graduating high school. Topics studied include equations and Inequalities, linear relations and functions, systems of equations and inequalities, polynomials, and statistics and probability. No college credit is earned for this course.

Precalculus broadens student understanding of functions and fundamental concepts learned in previous math courses. Topics will include: polynomial, power, rational, exponential, piecewise and trigonometric functions; parametric, polar, and trigonometric equations. Using technology and various representations, students will investigate and explore mathematical ideas for analyzing complex situations that make meaningful connections to real world experiences. This course can count as a fourth math credit.

Quantitative Reasoning is designed to promote reasoning, problem-solving and modeling through thematic units focused on mathematical practices, while reinforcing and extending content in Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Statistics and Probability, and Geometry. It is a yearlong ODE pilot course taught using student-centered pedagogy. Teachers will attend professional development sessions during summer and the school year. Available to select pilot schools. This course can count as a fourth math credit.

Students will be provided with experiences to use the knowledge acquired in previous math courses to continue studies in mathematical proficiency, problem solving, statistical proficiency, and quantitative literacy through appropriate technologies and real-life contexts. Students will work with piecewise functions, regressions, limits, exponential functions, linear/quadratic systems while focusing on selected advanced mathematics topics and problem solving skills. This course can count as a fourth math credit.
