Mathematics Courses & Curriculum

Investigating patterns in numbers, motion, and shapes.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 follows Delaware state standards and introduces students to variables, expressions, equations, functions, and inequalities. Students build skills in linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships and apply them to real-life situations.

Students work alone and in groups to solve problems and explain their thinking. Technology is used throughout the course. Students earn 1 credit toward the 4-credit graduation requirement in math.

Geometry

In Geometry, students study triangles, shapes, transformations, similarity, congruence, and basic trigonometry. The course builds both understanding and accuracy with geometric ideas and how they relate to the real world.

Collaborative and independent work is used, and students regularly use technology. Successful completion earns 1 math credit toward graduation.

Algebra 2

This course builds on Algebra 1 and Geometry. Students study linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, and radical functions. They also explore statistics and how to use data in real-world situations.

Students work individually and in teams, use technology, and communicate their thinking. One credit is earned toward the math graduation requirement.

Pre-Calculus

Pre-Calculus prepares students for college-level math. Topics include circular functions, inverse functions, and polynomial functions. Students practice applying math to real-world problems and justifying their thinking with graphs and symbols.

Technology, especially graphing calculators, is used often. This course aligns with Common Core Standards and earns 1 math credit toward graduation.

Calculus

Calculus is for students who have completed Pre-Calculus. Topics include trigonometric applications, limits, derivatives, and vectors. Students explore advanced math ideas and connect them to real-life examples.

The course uses college-level expectations and follows Common Core Standards. Students earn 1 math credit toward graduation.

Statistics

Statistics focuses on data and probability. Students study topics like categorical data, probability models, binomial distributions, and statistical inferences.

Real-world examples show how statistics is used in many careers. Students practice explaining their thinking with data and graphs. This course meets Common Core Standards and earns 1 math credit.

Senior Math

Senior Math is a hybrid course with online and in-person parts. Students build on what they know about statistics and explore math used in everyday life, especially personal finance.

Using Apex Learning, students complete lessons at their own pace with teacher support. All unit tests are taken in class. Topics include budgeting, wages, interest, credit cards, and profit.

Students earn 1 credit toward the 4-credit graduation requirement in math.
