Algebra I is an entry-level course designed for students who have mastered advanced arithmetic skills.  The study of Algebra I includes evaluation and manipulation of algebraic problem-solving methods. Special emphasis is placed on preparing students for the Gateway Algebra I Exam.  Algebra I is a yearlong course (2 terms). Intro to Algebra is 1st term and Algebra I is 2nd term. Two full credits can be earned at the end of the year.

Available to: 9th Grade Only

This course is a continuation of the 8th grade accelerated mathematics program.  Topics include evaluation and manipulation of algebraic problem-solving methods.

Geometry develops student understanding of geometric figures in plane and space, relationships between geometric ideas, and geometric proofs. The course builds student ability in inductive and deductive reasoning in mathematics. 

Algebra II is an extension of Algebra I designed to provide work in open sentences with one or more variables, polynomial expressions, order properties, axioms for the real and complex numbers, linear and quadratic equations, functions, progressions, and logarithms. (Grades 10-12)

This course is a 4th year senior level math credit course designed for students who need to refresh core mathematics skills prior to further study.  It is recommended that students who have not scored less than a 19 on their ACT assessment (or equivalent assessment) take this course to better prepare for post-secondary study.  (Prerequisite: Algebra II; Seniors Only)

The Seamless Alignment and Integrated Learning Support (SAILS) program targets students that have not achieved college readiness benchmarks by introducing the college developmental curriculum into the high school senior year. Developed by K-12 teachers and higher education faculty, SAILS embeds the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) Learning Support competencies into the high school senior year, allowing students to begin their higher education career prepared for credit bearing coursework. Students completing the SAILS Math program demonstrate mastery of all five TBR math competencies and begin college in credit bearing courses. (Seniors Only)

Applied Mathematical Concepts is focused on application and modeling and has industry needs in mind. It is aligned to the ACT college- and career- readiness standards and contains content from Discrete and Finite Math. Topics include counting, combinatorics, probability, financial math, and linear programming. (Seniors Only)

Pre-Calculus is the normal sequential course after Trigonometry.  Topics include exponential and logarithmic functions, an extension of trig to polar coordinates, analytic geometry, systems of equations, and the introductory Calculus topics of the limit and the derivative.  Students study many more applied concepts such as compound interest, growth and decay, number patterns, probability and linear programming.  This course provides a foundation for the study of Calculus. (Grades 10-12; Students who complete this course take a state exam that may grant them college credit.)

This course includes topics from differential calculus such as finding the equation of the tangent of a curve, related rates, curve plotting and maxima and minima theory. 

This course includes topics from differential calculus such as finding the equation of the tangent of a curve, related rates, curve plotting and maxima and minima theory.  During the term the students will prepare for the National Advanced Placement Test in Calculus.  Most colleges offer credit to students receiving 3 of 5 possible points on this national exam.  ts. 

The curriculum for AP Calculus AB is equivalent to that of a first-semester college calculus course.  This is intended to be challenging and demanding, and is taught second semester following Honors Calculus. (Prerequisite: Honors Calculus; Depending on exam results, students may earn college credit for coursework.)

AP Calculus BC is roughly equivalent to both first and second semester college calculus courses, extends the content learned in AB to different types of equations, and introduces the topic of sequences and series. This course covers topics in differential and integral calculus, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and series. You will learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and to make connections amongst these representations. You will also learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. (Prerequisite: Honors Calculus and AP Calculus A/B; Depending on exam results, students may earn college credit for coursework.)

AP Statistics is equivalent to a one-semester introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics.  There are four themes in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference.  Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding. This course is taught second semester. (Depending on exam results, students may earn college credit for coursework.)

Introduction to probability and statistics without calculus including descriptive statistics, probability distributions, the normal distribution, testing hypotheses, the t-test, and estimates and sample sizes.   Students must have a minimum ACT math score of 19 and a minimum grade point average of 3.0 to participate in the course.  (Prerequisite:  Two years of high school algebra and one year of geometry in high school).
