Mathematics Lab | Course #5174 | Credit (E) | Grade 7-9 | Credits .5/1.0
This is a course designed to give students additional time for math work. Students will receive a pass/fail grade.

PREP:  Pre-Freshman Engineering Program | Course #5502 (AAF-M) | Grade 9 | Credits .5/1.0
PREP is a program where students are invited to apply to participate in summer mathematics, physics, engineering, logic, problem solving and other STEM skills courses for three consecutive summers prior to a student’s 9th grade year.  Completion and request for credit will be submitted to the student’s counselor by the PREP program coordinator.

Secondary Mathematics 1 | Course #5300 | Credit (M) | Grade 8, 9 | Credits 1.0
Recommended Prerequisite:  8th Grade Mathematics
Students in Secondary Mathematics 1 will deepen and extend their understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Students will use properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and extend their understanding of geometric knowledge.  Algebraic and geometric ideas are tied together. Students will experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problems situations.

Secondary Mathematics 1 H | Course #5301 | Credit (M) | Grade 8, 9 | Credits 1.0
Recommended Prerequisite:  8th Grade Mathematics
Students in Secondary Mathematics 1 Honors will deepen and extend their understanding of linear relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential phenomena, and in part by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend.  Students will use properties and theorems involving congruent figures to deepen and extend their understanding of geometric knowledge. Algebraic and geometric ideas are tied together. Students will experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes sense of problem situations. Honors students will represent quantities, model, and perform operations using vectors and use matrices to perform operations and solve problems.

Secondary Mathematics 2 H | Course #5311 | Credit (M) | Grade 9 | Credits 1.0
Recommended Prerequisite:  Secondary Mathematics 1 Honors
Students in Secondary Mathematics 2 Honors will focus on quadratic expressions, equations, and functions, extend the set of rational numbers to the set of complex numbers, link probability and data through conditional probability and counting methods, study similarity and right triangle trigonometry, and study circles with their quadratic algebraic representations. Honors students will also represent complex numbers and their operations on the complex plane, solve systems of equations, prove and apply trigonometric identities, express conic sections algebraically, and solve problems using volume measurements.

Supplemental Math 1 | Course #5330 | Credit (E) | Grade 7-9 | Credits .5/1.0
This course is for students in 7th Grade Math, 8th Grade Math, or Secondary Math 1 who need extra help in their core math course. The course will review key concepts that are necessary for the students to be successful in their core class.
