Honors: This course is for students who have successfully completed Algebra 1 in the eighth grade. It emphasizes logical arguments in plane geometry, geometric applications of algebra, solid and coordinate geometry, and an introduction to trigonometry. It is the first course for students wishing to enroll in our challenging course work in mathematics, culminating with calculus in the twelfth grade. Recommended: Pass Algebra 1 in Grade 8 (85% recommended) (Full year course, open to grade 9); 1 credit

CP1: This is the sequential course to Algebra 1 for capable mathematics students preparing for college. It precedes Algebra 2 and Advanced Math. The course develops techniques of logical reasoning through the study of geometric figures. Plane and solid geometric facts are determined through inductive and deductive processes, which stress original and creative thinking. Coordinate geometry and trigonometry are introduced. Recommended: Pass Algebra 1 (80% in CP1 Algebra recommended) (Full year course, open to grades 9,10,11); 1 credit

CP2: This course includes the study of plane and spatial geometric figures. Algebraic applications and coordinate methods are included along with inductive and deductive reasoning. Topics include area, similarity, circles, regular polygons, geometric solids, as well as an introduction to trigonometry. Recommended: Pass Algebra 1 (Full year course is open to grades 10,11,12); 1 credit
