Algebra 1
Course Code: 331003, 331013, 331023, 331033, 331063, Prerequisites: Pre-Algebra, Credits: 1.0 Math, Merit
Algebra I provides students with the material outlined in
the Maryland Core Learning Goals in Algebra 1 and Data Analysis. These goals include indicators that require experiences with
problem solving and patterns, graphing linear equations, finding rates of change, solving equations and inequalities, working
with polynomials and rational expressions, and examining quadratics and other non-linear functions. Students will
take the Algebra/Data Analysis High School Assessment at the end of this course.

Algebra 1, Prentice Hall
Algebra 1 Accelerated Learning
Course Code: 331500, 331503, Credits: .50, 1.0 Elective
Algebra I AL provides students with additional instructional
support to ensure that they are successful on the Algebra/Data Analysis High School Assessment required at the end of
Algebra 1. This course is intended for students who have struggled in previous math classes.

Geometry
Course Code: 343003, 343023, 343063, Prerequisites: Algebra 1, Credits: 1.0 Math, Merit
Geometry provides students with the skills outlined in the
Maryland Core Learning Goals for Geometry. These skills include using logic to develop arguments, working with the
postulates and theorems of Euclidian geometry, applying rules for parallel and perpendicular lines, identifying congruent and
similar figures, classifying polygons, measuring angles and segments, writing proofs of triangle congruence, drawing,
constructing, and performing plane transformations. Textbook(s):

Integrated Mathematics
Course Code: 355003, Prerequisites: Algebra 1 and Geometry, Credits: 1.0 Math
This course provides students with consumer skills using
real-life applications and provides critical thinking connections to problems which integrate Algebra 1 and Geometry. This course
emphasizes problem solving skills to prepare students who have struggled in their previous math courses for entry into
Algebra 2. Textbook(s): TBA

Algebra 2
Course Code: 361003, Prerequisites: Geometry, Credits: 1.0 Math,
Merit
Algebra 2 provides students with hands-on experiences to support the
extension of applications of skills and concepts related to expressions and
functions, graphs of functions, algebraic manipulations of functions,
matrices, systems of equations, linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic,
polynomial, and rational functions and the study of the complex number
system. Students will be asked to solve real life problems and make
connections to other disciplines. Textbook(s): Algebra 2, Prentice

Trigonometry/Analysis
Course Code: 370003, Prerequisites: Algebra 2, Credits: 1.0 Math,
Merit
Trig/Analysis is a preparation for Pre-Calculus. Topics covered include
introduction to the six trig functions, working with trig functions to solve
problems involving right and non-right triangles, and exploring algebraic
and geometric interpretations of the graphs of the trigonometric functions.
Also covered are topics from Analytic Geometry which include a review of
graphing linear functions followed by an introduction to the equations and
graphs of the conic sections: circle, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola.

Introduction to Computer Science
Course Code: 390003, Prerequisites: Algebra 2, Credits: 1.0 Elective,
Merit
The outcomes for this course include programming in the languages of
Code:mill and C. The Code:mill computer language allows the student to
“view” what the computer is storing in memory as he or she writes Code: for
a specific task. The later part of this full year course includes
instruction in the C programming language which will serve as an
introduction to JAVA programming that is taught in AP Computer Science.
