East Paulding High School

1st year math course option for students who need support to bolster success in high school math. Revisits and expands the understanding of foundational algebra concepts, employs diagnostic means to offer focused interventions, and incorporates varied instructional strategies to prepare students for required high school math courses by emphasizing both algebra in a variety of contexts including number sense, proportional reasoning, quantitative reasoning with functions, and solving equations and inequalities.

1st course in a sequence of 3 courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. A study of algebra with correlated statistics applications. The critical areas, deepen and extend understanding of functions by comparing and contrasting linear, quadratic, and exponential phenomena. Students gain a foundation in linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students gain a deeper understanding of domain and range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing, relative maximum-minimum, symmetry, end behavior, and the effect of function parameters.  Georgia Milestone - EOC Course

2nd course in a sequence of 3 courses designed to ensure career and college readiness. Students experiment with transformations in the plane, compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that don't and use transformations and proportional reasoning to develop a formal understanding of similarity and congruence. Criteria for similarity and congruence of triangles are examined, facility with geometric proofs is developed, and both are applied in proving theorems and generating geometric constructions involving lines, angles, triangles, and other polygons. Students apply theorems about circles and the study of cross-sections of three-dimensional shapes; use concepts of distance, midpoint, and slope to verify algebraically geometric relationships of figures in the coordinate plane; solve problems involving parallel and perpendicular lines; and develop an understanding of independence and conditional probability to interpret data.

A fourth course option for students who have completed Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. The study of circles and parabolas is extended to include other conics such as ellipses and hyperbolas. Trigonometric functions are further developed to include inverses, general triangles and identities. Students expand the concepts of complex numbers and the coordinate plane to represent and operate upon vectors. Probability rounds out the course using counting methods, including their use in making and evaluating decisions.
