A calculator is required for this course. Enrollment limited to 15.

203 PRE-GEOMETRY Level 2 1/2 credit

This course is designed to introduce students to basic geometry concepts. Course content will be made up of generalized topics of area, perimeter, volume, shape, reflections, rotations, and transformations, as well as topics required by state frameworks. A calculator is required for this course. Enrollment limited to 15.

204 BASIC SKILLS MATH Level 3 1 credit

For the student whose educational plan specifies a need for intensive work with the fundamentals of arithmetic. Emphasis will be on drill in the fundamentals and will incorporate life skill topics including the unit on the hand-held calculator. A calculator is necessary for this course. Enrollment limited to 12.

205 GEOMETRY H Level 0 1 credit

Prerequisite: C average in Algebra 1 A, or permission from department chair.
This course may be taken in conjunction with Algebra 2 Honors, with permission from department chair. This section is designed for the advanced college-preparatory student. The material covered will be the same as covered in geometry, but at a faster pace and in greater depth. A graphing calculator is required. (TI-83+/84 graphing calculator is recommended) Enrollment limited to 25.

206 GEOMETRY Level 1 1 credit

Prerequisite: Algebra 1.
This course follows Algebra 1 and will be taught with the rigor necessary to classify it as a college preparatory class. Includes topics such as triangles, polygons, perpendicular and parallel lines, proof-deductive and inductive reasoning, areas and volumes, and analytic geometry. A graphing calculator is required. (TI-83+/84 graphing calculator is recommended) Enrollment limited to 25.

207 ALGEBRA 2 H Level 0 1 credit

Prerequisite: C average in Geometry Honors or permission from department chair.
This course is for the advanced college-preparatory student. The material covered will be the same as in algebra 2, but will be covered at a faster pace and in greater depth. Also included will be units on basic trigonometry. This may be taken in conjunction with geometry honors with department approval. A graphing calculator is required. (TI-/83+ /84 is recommended) Enrollment limited to 25.

208 ALGEBRA 2 Level 1 1 credit

Prerequisite: Algebra 1 and/or Geometry.
The course is a logical extension of algebra 1, and may be taken before or after geometry. The content of the course includes signed numbers, factoring, simultaneous equations, algebraic fractions, logarithms, exponents, complex numbers, quadratic functions and others. A graphing calculator is required. (TI-83+/84 calculator is recommended) Enrollment limited to 25.

209 PRE-CALCULUS Level 1 1 credit

Prerequisite: Algebra 1, 2 and Geometry.
Advanced math is the fourth in a series of college preparatory mathematics. It is designed to further the student's knowledge of mathematics beyond algebra and trigonometry. Topics are designed to help college bound students prepare for courses in analytic geometry, matrices, determinants, limits, continuity, etc., as well as a review of the basic algebra and geometry. The TI-84+ graphing calculator is required. Enrollment limited to 25.

210 STATISTICS Level 1 Grades 11-12 1/2 credit

Prerequisite: Algebra 1.
A first course in statistics and basic probability concepts. Emphasis is on applications throughout the course. Students will learn to read, write and speak effectively with statistical concepts. It is expected that students will have the following skills: rounding numbers, calculating percentages, converting between decimals and percentages, converting between fractions and decimals, using powers and roots, using formulas - plugging in numbers and solving for the missing variable, creating graphs. Enrollment limited to 25.

211 PRE-CALCULUS H Level 0 1 credit

Prerequisite: C average in Algebra 2 honors, or permission from math department chair.

This is the fourth course in the college preparatory honors program. It is designed to further the talents of advanced mathematics students. It will deal with topics that will be of use to students in post secondary courses. Topics shall include a review of trigonometry, functions and limits and a strong introduction to calculus. The graphing calculator is required. Enrollment limited to 25.

212 AP CALCULUS Level 0 1 credit

Prerequisite: C average in Pre-Calculus.
This course is intended as a fifth math course for students planning to study math or related subjects at the college level. Prepares students for entry into college calculus courses and possibly allow students to test out of one or two semesters of college calculus. The advanced placement test will be an option to the student at the end of the course. This option is at the student's own expense and will be given at the school. The graphing calculator is required for this course.

213 STATISTICS: RUNNING START Grades 11-12 Level 0 1/2 credit

Prerequisite: Algebra 2.
This is a college level statistics course offered in conjunction with NHCTC. Students can earn college credit in addition to 1/2 credit toward graduation. Statistical topics covered include measures of central tendencies, various statistical graphs, probability theorems, and higher level statistics. Enrollment limited to 20.

214 INDEPENDENT STUDY Level 0 1 credit
