| Algebra 1B |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: "C" or better in Algebra 1A and/or teacher
recommendation |
| This
course covers the second semester of a traditional Algebra 1 course in a full year.
Algebra IA and IB together fulfill U.C. "c" and C.S.U. subject requirement. |

| Geometry |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: "C" or better in Algebra I and a passing score
on the algebra competency test |
| The
course requires a firm foundation in arithmetic and algebra. It will help the student to
develop skills in logical reasoning and further understanding of spatial relationships.
Algebra is integrated throughout the course. Students explore concepts visually and
concretely to develop conjectures for themselves. Topics include area, angles, polygons,
congruence, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, circles, proof (explaining), and
three dimensional figures. The course is essential in the natural transition from concrete
skills of Algebra I to the greater emphasis on abstract reasoning required of the student
in Algebra II. Fulfills U.C. "c" and C.S.U. subject requirement. |

| Accelerated Geometry |
10 Credits;
Year |
| Prerequisite: "A" in Algebra I, recommendation of current math
instructor, and a passing score on the algebra competency test |
| Accelerated
Geometry is a course designed to follow Accelerated Algebra I. Success requires strong
arithmetic and algebra skills. The course includes all concepts taught in geometry plus
elements of coordinate and transformational geometry which help to prepare the advanced
student for future work in analytic geometry. Spherical geometry topics will be
introduced. Fulfills U.C. "c" and C.S.U. subject requirement. |
