• Elementary Algebra by Larson and Hostetler (4th Ed.), ISBN: 0-618-38817-6 

Description: This is a college-prep Algebra I course.  Students will transition from manipulation of known numbers to finding an unknown value that is represented by a variable.  It is the starting point for learning mathematical symbolic reasoning. Topics covered include a review of the arithmetic skills needed to succeed in algebra, monomials and polynomial expressions, factoring to simplify and solve equations, solving and graphing linear and quadratic equations, and developing critical problem-solving skills by applying algebraic concepts to practical situations.  This course provides the foundation for success in advanced math courses.  Homework will be assigned at each class and will be due at the beginning of the next class, while a quiz or test will be given about every two-three weeks.
Prerequisite: A grade of 70% or higher in Pre-Algebra.
Tutoring: Ms. Scott will be in her classroom from 10:00 – 10:40am on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help students when they are stuck on a problem or concept and needing extra instruction. This is a free service for any student taking any section of Algebra I.

*Mrs. Good teaches small sections of Algebra 1 from 10:45am-12:00pm and from 12:30pm-1:45pm.

• McDougal Littell Geometry, ISBN: 0395937779   

Description: This college prep Geometry course develops reasoning and problem-solving skills through the exploration of measurement, proofs, congruence, similarity, and area. Students will apply properties of lines, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles to many problems involving algebra and use in real life. In addition to excellent classroom teaching, some online teaching resources (videos & examples) will be used to enhance the class and help students when they are working on their own. Written homework will be assigned at the end of each class and online assignments will be used to check for understanding.  Tests will be given at the end of each chapter, every few weeks. Internet access is required.

• Pre-Calculus by Robert Blitzer (3rd Ed.), ISBN: 9780131959934

Description: Students who have completed three years of high school math may enroll in Pre-Calculus to study (in depth) the concepts of function, trigonometry, vectors, logs and exponents. The course also includes an introduction to limits. A student completing Pre-Calculus will be prepared for a rigorous, college-level pre-calculus course or introductory calculus course. We will supplement the curriculum with a review of word problem skills, and we incorporate the graphing calculator in many of our homework assignments. In addition to excellent classroom teaching, online teaching resources (videos & examples) will be used to enhance the class and help students when they are working on their own to better understand the course material. Homework will be given at the end of each class, while quizzes and tests will be given every few weeks.
Prerequisites: A grade of 70% or higher in both Geometry and Algebra II
