Algebra A
Prerequisite: None
Grade: 9-11
Status: Does NOT meet Qualified Admissions to Regents Colleges
1 credit
Course Description: Algebra A is one of three entry-level classes for incoming freshman. Algebra A will cover the first half of Algebra I concepts in a year long class. It teaches mathematical concepts at a slower pace which allows more flexibility and provides more opportunity for hands-on activities and practical application.
Prerequisite: Algebra A
Grade: 10-12
Status: Does NOT meet Qualified Admissions to Regents Colleges

Course Description: Algebra B will cover the second half of Algebra I concepts in a year long class. It teaches mathematical concepts at a slower pace which allows more flexibility and provides more opportunity for hands-on activities and practical application.
Prerequisite: Algebra A and B
Grade: 9-12
Status: Does NOT meet Qualified Admissions to Regents Colleges
1 credit
Course Description: Algebra A and Algebra B will be the prerequisites for Applied Geometry. It will focus on the same standards as Geometry with an emphasis on the Kansas math standards. Some of the concepts taught will be slope, polygons (identifying, area, perimeter, surface area, and volume), angles, equation of a line, and distance. Applied Geometry will cover material at a slower pace than Geometry.
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra or Algebra A
Grade: 9
Status: This course could be used for Admissions to a Regents College.

Course Description: Algebra I is one of three entry-level classes for incoming freshmen. The student needs to have taken Pre-Algebra as a prerequisite for this course. Algebra I covers the state standards on graphing, equations, equation of a line, geometry, statistics, etc. Algebra I is also the prerequisite for Geometry.

Course Description: Geometry is one of three entry level classes for incoming freshman. Students must have passed Algebra I in order to be able to enroll in Geometry. Geometry covers most of the standards as Algebra I in addition to several standards on area, perimeter, surface area, volume, transformations, and other geometry state standards. Geometry is also a prerequisite for Algebra II.
Algebra II
Prerequisite: Geometry
Grade: 11-12
Status: This course could be used for Admissions to a Regents College.
1 credit
Course Descriptions: Algebra II is the third class in our Math Series. Algebra II
starts with Algebra Review and continues through all Advanced Algebra concepts and ends up with Trigonometry.
Prerequisite: Algebra II
Grade: 11-12
Status: This course could be used for Admissions to a Regents College.
