Applications and modeling using mathematics are the primary foci of this course. Throughout the course, students explore mathematical content in the context of applications to the real-world. Topics will build upon previous knowledge requiring students to reason, solve, and represent mathematical concepts in multiple ways to encourage the use of math to answer problems students will encounter in life. This course is best intended for students who are planning to attend a College of Applied Technology, military service, or enter the workforce immediately following graduation.

• One Semester

• EOC: NO
• Grade 11-12
• Prerequisite: Algebra 2 with recommended grade of C or better or teacher recommendation

This course will begin building on the concepts of functions that were introduced in Algebra 2, including absolute value, greatest integer, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. In addition, students will begin their study of trigonometry including the Unit Circle, the graphs of the trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, basic trigonometric identities and application of these identities to solve equations and inequalities, and triangle trigonometry.

AP Computer Science Principles is an introductory college-level computing course that introduces students to the breadth of the field of computer science. Students learn to design and evaluate solutions and to apply computer science to solve problems through the development of algorithms and programs. They incorporate abstraction into programs and use data to discover new knowledge. Students also explain how computing innovations and computing systems—including the internet—work, explore their potential impacts, and contribute to a computing culture that is collaborative and ethical.

AP Computer Science A introduces students to computer science through programming. Fundamental topics in this course include the design of solutions to problems, the use of data structures to organize large sets of data, the development and implementation of algorithms to process data and discover new information, the analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing systems. The course emphasizes object-oriented programming and design using the Java programming language.

The AP Statistics course is equivalent to a one-semester, introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics. The course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, anticipating patterns, and statistical inference. Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding.

AP Precalculus is a continuation of the curriculum covered in Precalculus 1. The class will focus on maintaining and further developing the ideas taught previously while simultaneously introducing new topics. These topics will include Polar Functions, Parametric Functions, Vectors, Matrices, and Sequences and Series. An introduction of early Calculus topics such as Limits and Derivatives will be explored if time permits. Students will develop AP level problem solving skills and writing throughout the course.

AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The course teaches students to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and to make connections amongst these representations. Students learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions.
