This accelerated algebra course covers the topics of Algebra I heavily emphasizing problem solving. The computation level is increased and the course is extended to include the solution of quadratic equations and a more complete coverage of irrational numbers.
Placement determined by Entrance Test, Qualifying Test results, and Departmental Approval.

This course covers the basic axioms of mathematics, operating with directed numbers, solving quadratic and linear open sentences, simplifying all types of algebraic expressions, factoring polynomials, graphing on number lines and Cartesian planes, solving systems of linear functions, solving word problems, and simplifying radicals.
Placement determined by Entrance Test results.

This modified course covers the topics listed in Algebra I- CP but the approach is less rigorous and more intuitive. This course includes arithmetic skills review and emphasizes concept retention using drill, manipulatives and special projects. It is a complete foundation course in elementary algebra.
Placement determined by Entrance Test results.

This course includes plane, solid, and coordinate geometry. The units covered include: triangles, polygons, lines, circles, space perception, surfaces, volumes, and geometric relationships. Geared to students intending to follow a heavier Math-Science roster, it treats each topic in greater depth. Deductive and inductive reasoning are taught and the students are guided to develop theorems and deduce corollaries. Students are taught several methods of proof and given extensive practice in each. Stress throughout the course is on proof and spatial concepts. A summer algebra review assignment is mandatory.

PREREQUISITE: A mark of 85 in Algebra IH, Qualifying test results, and Departmental Approval. (CP students who have demonstrated exceptional ability may be recommended by their CP teachers to take a proficiency test for honors. Admission to honors is dependent upon the results of the test, continued scholastic excellence and Departmental Approval.)
*For incoming freshmen, geometry placement is dependent upon completion of Algebra I in eighth grade and entrace examination results.

This course includes plane, solid, and some coordinate geometry. The units covered include triangles, polygons, lines, circles, space perception, surfaces, volumes, and geometric relationships. The students are encouraged to think deductively through the formal proof of theorems.
