COURSE DESCRIPTION

Geometry is based on the California Content Standards. Geometry is the study of points, lines and areas in a single plane, and includes some extension into three-dimensional space. Emphasis is also placed on creating a consistent set of axioms and using deductive reasoning to write proofs and derive theorems. Students need to have a strong foundation in algebraic concepts. Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra I.

UC/CSU APPROVED

YES

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This advanced elective course is based on the California Content Standards and is fashioned as an alternative to the Calculus track (i.e., H Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Mathematical Analysis, AP Calculus AB). Probability and Statistics covers counting methods, (probability) independent events, rules for addition, multiplication and complementation, finite sample spaces, conditional probability, discrete and continuous random variables, binomial, exponential and normal distributions; (statistics) measures of central tendency by mean, median, mode, and measures of distribution by variance and standard deviation, normal distributions, organization of data by frequency tables, histograms, stem-and-leaf displays, and box-and-whisker plots. Recommended Prerequisite:  Completion of Algebra II.

GRADE(S)

10TH-12TH

LENGTH

2 SEMESTERS

UC/CSU APPROVED

YES

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is based on the California Content Standards and is an advanced college-level course that prepares students for the AP Calculus AB exam and covers the beginning of calculus. It includes the study of functions, limits, continuity and differentiation rules for elementary, trigonometry, logarithmic and exponential functions. Applications of the derivative are covered extensively and an introduction to the definite integral and integration is also included. This course emphasizes a multi representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically and verbally. The connections between these representations also are important. Recommended Prerequisite:  B or better in Trig/Analysis.
