Philosophy - Mathematics is a way of thinking that opens doors to new knowledge in virtually every field. it helps students develop this way of thinking through problem solving skills, logical thought processes, and applying mathematics in a wide realm of areas to prepare young Christian students to live in a modern complex society.

Description |
| This course is designed to ease the transition from
arithmetic into algebra. It will prepare the student for
algebra. Topics include introduction to algebra, order of
operations, working with real numbers, solving simple equations,
polynomials, and fractions.
|
|
| Algebra can be considered the language of mathematics.
The first goal is to introduce the student to this wonderful and rich
language. Using this language, students learn to describe the world
around them with algebraic expressions, equations, graphs, and
statistics. Each mathematical idea is studied in depth though
applications and practical problems, providing opportunities to develop
skills and to understand the importance of math in everyday life.
|
|
| This is the study of visual patterns, shape, and size.
These patterns are found in physical objects as well as representations of
numbers and other ideas whose origin is not visual. Students learn
to draw, construct, measure, visualize, compare, transform, and classify
geometric figures. They also learn logical thinking skills including
reasoning about those figures and separating fact from opinion.
|
|
| This course is related to what was learned in first-year
algebra. Familiar ideas such as properties of numbers, graphs,
expressions, equations, and inequalities appear throughout the
course. In addition, students study many new topics, including
matrices, logarithms, trigonometry, and conic sections. Throughout
the course, the concept of function is used to help organize ideas.
|
|
| This is a pre-calculus course designed to prepare the
student for a college level calculus course. Topics include
coordinate geometry, advanced graphing, polar coordinates, and complex
numbers, sequences and series, and an introduction to calculus through the
limit, derivative, and integral. Other advanced math topics may be
included.
|
|
| This course is for the advanced student in the senior year
that has come to high school with an algebra course already
completed. It progresses beyond Senior Math into advanced topics and
further into calculus.
|
|
| This course is designed for students in the upper grades who have already completed Geometry or Advanced Algebra. This class prepares students with the type of math skills needed to enter a technical college. It surveys topics from Algebra, Geometry, Probability, Statistics and Consumer Math including many real live applications. |
