Basic
Geometry |
Course Description:
In this entry-level, applied course offered via the Web, students learn
to construct, draw, measure, visualize, compare, and transform objects.
These skills are used to solve everyday geometric problems. Students develop
a new awareness that geometry is everywhere; find familiar geometric objects
using their mathematical reasoning and spatial sense; develop an understanding
of the core concepts of geometry and learn to communicate them using mathematical
representation; and apply geometric concepts to everyday situations and
implement strategies to solve problems. Students interact with their teacher
and classmates on the Web. This course is specifically designed for students
who need a preliminary course focused on basic geometric concepts before
moving into a year-long geometry course or who need to review these concepts
before entering vocational programs. Basic computer skills are recommended.

General
Math 1: Interactive General Math |
Course Description:
This Interactive General Mathematics 1 course, offered via the Web, provides
an opportunity for students to learn fundamental mathematics concepts using
an interactive, problem-based approach. They develop an understanding of
fractions, decimals, and percentages by applying them in practical situations;
learn to handle data through graphs; develop an understanding of probability;
become familiar with scientific notation; and learn to use ratios and proportions
to solve problems. Students can interact with their teacher and classmates
on the Web. Basic computer skills are recommended.

|
Course Description:
Students taking this course offered via the Web develop reasoning skills
using geometric terms and processes, concepts of logic, and applied problem
solving. Topics include parallel lines and planes, congruent triangles,
inequalities, and quadrilaterals. Geometric concepts are analyzed using
formal, paragraph, and indirect proofs. Students must also complete notebook
assignments that relate their learning to real-life experiences. Basic computer
skills are recommended.

Math
Skills Review: Calculation Carnival |
Course Description:
In this interactive course offered via the Web, students review basic mathematics
concepts as they visit the six major areas of the Carnival: Percentage Pavilion,
Fraction Fairway, Integer Island, Decimal Deluge, Capacity Courts, and Guest
Graphing. They are able to check their mathematics knowledge and decide
in which areas they need to spend the most time. Students refresh their
knowledge of problem-solving strategies and the application of basic mathematical
concepts in real-world situations. Students have the opportunity to interact
with their teacher and classmates on the Web. This course is specifically
designed for students who need a refresher course in mathematics before
entering an algebra course or who need to review their basic mathematics
skills before going on to other programs or courses. Basic computer skills
are recommended.

PreCalculus
1
|
| Course Description:
This is the first of two Web-enabled courses designed to provide students
with the necessary preparation for studying calculus and other college mathematics
courses. This course reviews algebraic properties and then introduces functions
and graphs. As students continue with the course, they will learn about
algebraic and inverse functions, exponential and logarithmic functions,
conic sections, matrices, determinants, complex numbers, and discrete algebra.
Throughout the course, they will be given various examples of the role of
mathematics in daily life. Basic computer skills are recommended. |

PreCalculus
2 |
| Course Description:
This is the second of two Web-enabled courses designed to provide students
with the necessary preparation for studying calculus and other college mathematics
courses. This course begins by reviewing basic concepts in trigonometry.
As students continue with the course, they will learn about approximate
values, trigonometric identities, graphs, equations, logarithms, vectors,
complex numbers, and polar coordinates. Throughout the course, they will
be given various examples of the role of mathematics in daily life. Basic
computer skills are recommended. |

Business and
Consumer Math |
| Course Description:
In this course, students are introduced to such everyday life skills as
balancing a checkbook, calculating net pay, budgeting expenses, making cost
comparisons, buying and renting a home, and finding the cost of operating
a motor vehicle. Basic business matters including borrowing money, investing,
and calculating a businesses profit and loss are also included. The focus
for this course is on guiding students in building a strong foundation in
logical thinking and problem solving that will enable them to make good
decisions in their daily life, concerning matters of money and finance.
Several projects and activities will allow them to use the skills and knowledge
they gained from this course and apply them to real life situations. |
