Mathematics
Four (4) credits of
Mathematics are required for graduation.
Any credits beyond four will count as math electives and help fulfill the
elective graduation requirement.
Integrated Math II
Course Number:
#503-504
Length Of Course: 2
Trimesters - 1 Credit
Prerequisites: Integrated
Math I
Grade Level: 10
A continuation of Integrated
Math I. This course will focus on problem-solving techniques and
graphing data, working with statistics and probability, and the use
of linear and common non-linear functions. Emphasis will be placed
on using mathematics to solve real world problems. Hands-on
projects and written reports are an integral part of the course.
Expect homework one or two times a week.

Number: #511-512
Length
of Course: 2 Trimesters
– 1 Credit
Prerequisites: Algebra
1 or Integrated
Math II
Grade
Level: 10 – 11
Geometry brings math to life
with many real-life applications. Students will use the three key
aspects of Geometry-measuring, reasoning and applying geometrical
ideas. The chapters that will be studied include Basics of
Geometry, Reasoning and Proofs, Perpendicular and Parallel Lines,
Congruent Triangles, Properties of Triangles, Quadrilaterals,
Transformations, Similarity, Trigonometry, Circles, Area of
Polygons, Surface Area and Volume. Homework will be a regular part
of this course. In class, student will work individually and in
small teams.

Integrated Math III
Course
Number: #505-506
Length Of Course: 2
Trimesters - 1 Credit
Prerequisites:
Integrated Math II or
Algebra I
Grade Level: 11
A continuation of Integrated Math
II, this course will focus on problem-solving
techniques and applying
geometry, trigonometry, algebra,
and
statistical process control to
real world problems. Reports and hands-on projects will continue
and become more demanding. Homework should be expected two to three
times per week.

Algebra 2
Course
Number: #513-514
Length
of Course: 2 Trimesters
– 1 Credit
Prerequisites: Geometry
or Integrated Math III
Grade
Level: 11 – 12
Algebra 2 is the third course in
this series and builds upon topics learned in Algebra 1 and
Geometry. Topic Studied in Algebra 2 include: Equations and
Inequalities including Systems of Equations and Inequalities,
Matrices, Quadratic and Polynomial Functions, Exponential and
Logarithmic Functions, Rational Functions, Sequences and Series,
Probability and Statistics and Trigonometric Functions. Students
should expect daily homework in this course. In class students will
be expected to work individually and in a small group setting.

Integrated Math IV
Course Number:
#507-508
Length Of Course: 2
Trimesters - 1 Credit
Prerequisites:
Integrated Math III or Geometry
Grade Level: 12
This course will focus on how
Advanced Algebra can be used to model real-world phenomena. Data
collection and analysis will be used to explore algebraic concepts.
Integrating mathematics with hands-on design and construction will
be a recurring theme throughout the course. Functions to be studied
include linear, polynomial, exponential, roots and trigonometric.
About three nights of homework per week should be expected.
Recommended for students who plan to continue their education beyond
high school whether it be a 4-year college, community college,
junior college, or a one to two year technology/trade school.

Pre-Calculus
Course
Number: #515-516
Length of
Course: 2 Trimesters -1
Credit
Prerequisites: Algebra 2
Grade
Level: 11-12
Pre-Calculus is the fourth
course in this math series and builds upon topics learned in Algebra
2 and those that will be needed to be successful in Calculus. This
course is an advanced level course and students should expect daily
homework. In class, students will be expected to work individually,
in a small group setting, and also to present problems and solutions
to the class.

Pre-Algebra
Course
Number: #500
Length
of Course: 1 Trimester
– ½ Credit
Prerequisites: None
Grade
Level: 9
This course will cover topics
that students need to be successful in Algebra 1 or Applications of
Algebra 1. Topics include, but are not limited to: ratios,
percents, proportions, scientific notation, English and metric units
of measure, lines and angles, and two and three dimensional shapes.
Problem solving will be an integral part of this course. Students
will be expected to work individually and in small teams while in
class. Homework will be a regular part of the course.

#523
Length
of Course: 3 Trimesters
– 1-1/2 Credits
Prerequisites:
Pre-Calculus
Grade
Level: 12
Calculus is the highest level
of mathematics offered by Parchment High School. It is strongly
recommended for those students who plan to attend a college or
university and/or who desire a strong understanding of
mathematics. Students who take this class will be offered the
opportunity to take the AP Calculus Exam in May.

Applications of Algebra 1
Course
Number: #501-502
Length
of Course: 2 Trimesters
– 1 Credit
Prerequisites: None
Grade
Level: 9
This is the first of four
courses designed to develop and refine life-related mathematical
skills. Topics to be studied include real numbers and solving,
graphing and writing linear equations and inequalities. Another
area of emphasis includes exponents, polynomial and rational
functions and their connections to the real world. Students will be
expected to work individually and in small teams while in class.
Homework will be a regular part of the course.
