Course Description

In Algebra 2, instructional time will emphasize five areas: 

1. extending arithmetic operations with algebraic expressions to include radical and rational expressions and polynomial division; 
2. graphing and analyzing functions including polynomials, absolute value, radical, rational, exponential and logarithmic; 
3. building functions using compositions, inverses and transformations; 
4. extending systems of equations and inequalities to include non-linear expressions and 
5. developing understanding of the complex number system, including complex numbers as roots of polynomial equations.

Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Advanced courses require a greater demand on students through increased academic rigor.  Academic rigor is obtained through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted.  Students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. Honors level rigor will be achieved by increasing text complexity through text selection, focus on high-level qualitative measures, and complexity of task. Instruction will be structured to give students a deeper understanding of conceptual themes and organization within and across disciplines. Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work.

Course Description

Computer Science Discoveries introduces students to computer science as a vehicle for problem solving, communication, and personal expression. The course focuses on the visible aspects of computing and computer science and encourages students to see where computer science exists around them and how they can engage with it as a tool for exploration and expression.

Centering on the immediately observable and personally applicable elements of computer science, the course asks students to look outward and explore the impact of computer science on society.  Students should see how a thorough student-centered design process produces a better application, how data is used to address problems that affect large numbers of people, and how physical computing with circuit boards allows computers to collect, input, and return output in a variety of ways.
