Course Descriptions:

NOTE: STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT IN THE HONORS TRACK, BUT STILL WANT TO TAKE A.P. CALCULUS AS SENIORS MUST TAKE A MINIMUM OF GEOMETRY, BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, ADVANCED ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY AS PREREQUISITE CLASSES. GRADES OF C+ OR BETTER ARE NECESSARY.

• 52100 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA
  10-12 YEAR
  SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR REQUIRED
  Students must know entire times tables, be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Algebra includes a study of the number system and linear and quadratic functions. Students planning to attend college or trade schools should successfully complete Elementary Algebra with a “C” or better grade before taking the ACT test.
  
• 52200 SOPHOMORE HONORS MATH (INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA HONORS)
  10 YEAR
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  GRAPHING CALCULATOR REQUIRED
  EACH QUARTER GRADE FROM ALGEBRA 1-2 AND GEOMETRY 1-2 MUST BE ABOVE A “C+”
  This class covers Intermediate Algebra and
  College Algebra. Those students who are successful in this class are on track for AP Calculus during their senior year. All students who are successful (A or B grade) in ninth grade geometry should register for this class.
  
  
• 52400 ALGEBRA 2
  10-12 YEAR
  PREREQUISITE: ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA (PRE-ALGEBRA OR ALGEBRA PREP WILL NOT DO)
  GEOMETRY RECOMMENDED BEFORE TAKING ALGEBRA 2
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR REQUIRED
  (GRAPHING CALCULATOR RECOMMENDED)
  Each quarter grade from Elementary Algebra must be above a “C”. Topics from Algebra 1-2 will be reviewed and expanded. New topics introduced include exponential and logarithmic functions, complex numbers, and systems of quadratic equations.
  
• 52500 ALGEBRA 3/TRIGONOMETRY
  10-12 YEAR
  PREREQUISITE: ALGEBRA 2
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  GRAPHING CALCULATOR REQUIRED
  Each quarter grade from Algebra 2 and Geometry must be above a “C”. The first semester will cover advanced algebra topics including solution of high order equations. The second semester will cover trigonometric and circular function.
  
• PRE-CALCULUS CONSISTING OF:
  52750 COLLEGE ALGEBRA (CC-SLCC) 1ST SEM
  52760 TRIGONOMETRY (CC-SLCC) 2ND SEM
  11-12 YEAR
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  FEE REQUIRED: $80.00 TEXTBOOK
  This class covers functions and their graphs, logarithms, conics, sequences, and trigonometry. Students will earn high school credit as well as seven semester hours of math credit at Salt Lake Community College. Students must have earned a “B” or higher in previous math classes (at least intermediate algebra). Students will be required to purchase a textbook. Students will also need to pass the SLCC placement test or have an ACT test score of 22 or higher to determine eligibility.
  
• 53200 GEOMETRY
  10-12 YEAR
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR REQUIRED
  Each quarter grade from Elementary Algebra must be above a “C”. Geometry is the study of points, lines, planes, and their applications to circles, angles, polygons, etc. Students must successfully complete Elementary Algebra before taking Geometry.
  
• 54500 A.P. CALCULUS
  12 YEAR
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  STUDENTS TAKING THIS CLASS MUST ALSO ENROLL IN INDEPENDENT STUDY MATHEMATICS
  This is an advanced placement course for mathematics, and includes materials regularly covered in the first two quarters of college differential and integral calculus. Upon passing the A.P. examination, students can receive up to 12 hours of college credit.
  
• 54600 INDEPENDENT STUDY MATH
  12 YEAR
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  GRAPHING CALCULATOR REQUIRED
  Students taking this class must also enroll in A.P. Calculus. This class focuses on the problem solving aspect of Calculus. Students are given assistance with assigned problems and test preparation.
  
• 54700 A.P. STATISTICS
  11-12 YEAR
  PREREQUISITE: ALGEBRA 2 & GEOMETRY
  TEACHER SIGNATURE REQUIRED
  GRAPHING CALCULATOR REQUIRED (TI-83 RECOMMENDED)
  Each quarter grade from Algebra 2 and Geometry must be above a “C”. The topics for AP Statistics are divided into four major themes: exploring data, planning and modeling data, probability, and statistical inference in making mathematical conclusions. This course is the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in statistics. Upon passing the A.P. examination, students will receive up to 12 hours of college credit.
