Credits: 5 each

Prerequisite: 50% or better in previous Math level

Math 1:

It is expected that students will recognize, describe, and use numbers from 0 to 100 in a variety of familiar settings. Students will demonstrate and use a variety of methods to show the processes of addition and subtraction on one-digit whole numbers. It is expected that students will:

• count objects in a set (0 to 50) and compare estimates to the actual number
  
• recognize, build, compare, and order sets of objects (0 to 50)
• explore, represent, and describe numbers up to 50 in a variety of ways
  
• use a calculator or computer to explore and represent numbers up to 100
  
• demonstrate and explain orally an understanding of "half" as part of a whole

Math 2 and Math 3:

It is expected that students will use a variety of strategies to apply a basic operation (+,-, x,÷) to whole numbers and use these operations in solving problems. Students will demonstrate and describe the processes of addition and subtraction of whole numbers up to 1000 with and without regrouping, using manipulatives, diagrams, and symbols.

It is expected that students will choose, use, and defend the appropriate calculation strategy or technology to solve problems. Students will be taught to calculate and justify the methods they used to find sums, differences, products, and quotients using estimation strategies, mental math techniques, manipulatives, algorithms, and calculators.

Math 4:

Students will learn to apply arithmetic operations on whole numbers and illustrate their use in solving problems. It is expected that students will:

• demonstrate and describe the process of addition and subtraction of numbers up to 10 000, using manipulatives, diagrams, and symbols
  
• demonstrate the process of multiplication (three-digit by one-digit numbers), using manipulatives, diagrams, and symbols
  
• demonstrate the process of division (two-digit by one-digit numbers), using manipulatives, diagrams, and symbols
  
• recall multiplication and division facts up to 81
  

Math 5:

It is expected that students will apply arithmetic operations on whole numbers and decimal fractions and illustrate the use of decimal fractions in solving problems. Students are expected to add and subtract decimal fractions to hundredths concretely, pictorially, and symbolically, to estimate, mentally calculate, or compute and verify the product (three-digit by two-digit numbers) and quotient (three-digit by one-digit numbers) of the multiplication and division of whole numbers. Students will also learn to multiply and divide decimal fractions to hundredths concretely, pictorially, and symbolically using one-digit, whole number multipliers and divisors.

Math 6:

It is expected that students will develop a number sense for common fractions and explore number sense for whole numbers. Students will learn to:

• read and write numerals greater than a million
  
• distinguish relationships among multiples, factors, composites, and primes
  
• represent positive powers of numbers concretely, pictorially, and symbolically
  
• use power, base, and exponent to represent repeated multiplication
  
• explain the meaning of integers by extending their counting to numbers less than 0
  
• read and write numbers to thousandths
  
• demonstrate and describe equivalent mixed numbers and improper fractions concretely and pictorially
  
• compare and order improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimal fractions to thousandths
  
• demonstrate and explain the meaning of ratio concretely and pictorially
  
• demonstrate and explain the meaning of percentage concretely and pictorially
  

Math 7: Unified Math

The 7th grade math course is designed to reinforce the four primary mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as providing additional instruction with decimals, fractions, percents and exponents. Also introduced will be the foundation topics of geometry, measurement, algebra, graphs, and word problems.

Math 8: An Introduction to Algebra

The 8th grade math course is an introductory course designed to foster success in Algebra I. The basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will be applied to whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and signed numbers. These operations will also be employed to translate and solve word problems as well as algebraic expressions and equations. The concepts of perimeter, area and volume will be introduced for two and three-dimensional figures.

Math 9: Equations

The purpose of this course is to develop the skills necessary to work with signed numbers, to evaluate expressions, to solve equations with one or more unknown, to use both positive and negative exponents, and to solve linear and simultaneous equations. Students will also develop problem-solving skills.

Math 10: Algebra I

This course will cover the fundamentals of algebraic and geometric problem solving, expressions and equations, commutative and associative properties, rational numbers, mean, median, mode, adding and subtracting equations, multiplying and dividing equations, and solving multi-step equations.

Math 11: Algebra II

This is an intermediate algebra and geometry with an introduction to trigonometry. Geometry review, measures and shapes, word problems, fractions, equations, integers, polynomials, graphing linear equations, and the Pythagorean theorem will be the main focus.

Math 12: Advanced Math

The advanced Math is the foundation for success in post-secondary level. This course begins with a review of algebra, geometry, and the basics of trigonometry and finishes with an upper level of algebraic concepts. Scientific calculator may be required for this course.

Math 12B: Pre-Calculus

This course is for students who wish to prepare themselves the post-secondary level of Calculus. It is intended for students who will pursue more education in mathematics or sciences at university. Students must possess a high degree of motivation towards mathematics, and have a very strong math background. Content includes limits, derivatives, integration, and mathematical application.
