Introduction to Statistics
Introductory Statistics is a course covering statistics topics at an understandable level. This introductory course assumes no prior knowledge of statistics but does assume some knowledge of high school algebra 2. Basic statistical concepts and methods are presented in a manner that emphasizes understanding the principles of data collection and analysis rather than theory. Topics covered will include, but not limited to, the following: organizing data, averages and variation, compound & independent probability, binomial probability distribution, normal distributions, and sampling distributions.
Personal Finance
This course introduces students to a variety of different financial issues that they may face in their real life. Topics will include the following: understand the importance of personal financial goal setting and responsibility, and apply those concepts in a consumer-driven, global marketplace; create and manage a financial plan for short-term and long-term financial security to make informed spending and saving decisions that are compatible with changing personal goals; and analyze and apply appropriate and cost effect risk management strategies as it pertains to insurance and warranties. Students will learn practical topics such as monthly payments, car buying, loans, mortgages, investing, tax filing, credit cards, and budgeting.
College AlgebraThis course is for students who passed Algebra II but need to master additional skills necessary for success in Precalculus. Topics will include but not be limited to the following: further study of polynomials, quadratic equations, rational and radical expressions and exponents, logarithmic functions, graphing, trigonometry, conic sections, sequences and series, and applications. College Algebra is a rigorous mathematics course in which a mastery of Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II is necessary. National, State, and District academic content standards will be addressed by covering polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, and analytic geometry.
Geometry and ConstructionThis course will focus on the fundamental skills of Algebra 2, Geometry, and Statistics. National, State, and District academic content standards will be addressed by covering linear equations, functions, linear inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, exponents and exponential functions, advanced topics of geometry and statistics. Problem solving, analysis, critical and visual thinking, mathematical and spatial reasoning, and real-world application strategies as they apply to the construction industry will be emphasized.
