Classes

Algebra 1

Grade Level: 9th Grade

Course Description: Algebra I focuses on the properties and operations of the real number system, including evaluating rational algebraic expressions. Students learn to solve and graph firstdegree equations and inequalities, translate word problems into algebraic expressions, and perform operations with polynomials, including factoring. The course also covers solving simple quadratic equations and exploring their solutions. Aligned with the Oklahoma Academic Standards, Algebra I emphasizes critical thinking and problemsolving skills, preparing students for success in higher-level mathematics. 

Supplies:

Must haves:

  • Pens/pencils
  • Folder (to turn in work each week)
  • 1” Binder (or bigger)  

Optional supplies: (only needed if your student prefers to use them)

  • Notebook for taking notes and/or
  • Loose leaf paper 
  • Colored pens/ markers/ highlighters

Geometry

Grade Level: 9th grade/ 10th grade

Course Description:

Geometry focuses on reasoning, logic, and the study of two- and three-dimensional shapes, including circles and right triangle trigonometry. Building on prior knowledge from earlier grades, students extend their understanding of basic shapes, surface area, and volume, and apply logical reasoning to solve problems. The course also includes the use of trigonometric ratios and real-world applications, helping students develop problemsolving strategies that connect math concepts to everyday situations.

Algebra 2

Grade Level: 11th Grade

Course Description: 

Algebra II builds on the foundational concepts learned in Algebra I, helping students develop a deeper understanding of functions and their real-world applications. Students explore complex numbers, solve nonlinear equations, and use algebraic reasoning to solve real-life problems. The course covers four major strands: Numbers & Operations (including complex numbers), Algebraic Reasoning & Algebra, Functions (performing operations, inverse functions, and interpreting function graphs), and Data & Probability. Algebra II emphasizes problem-solving, mathematical communication, and conceptual understanding, preparing students for advanced math courses and future career paths.
