Mathematics Courses
Mathematics Courses
4 Credits Required - Choose from the following:
Algebra I
Algebra I is a one credit course designed to enhance the ability to think and analyze solutions to problems as opposed to simply memorizing. Algebra I is an important foundation for students who plan to study more advanced math courses.
Algebra II
Algebra II is a one credit mathematics course that will extend the concepts covered in Algebra I to include such topics as functions, complex numbers, conic sections, quadratic equations, and matrices and determinants. We recommend that students purchase a graphing calculator to use through some of the activities.
Geometry
This course is designed to facilitate conceptual learning so that students think logically. Students will analyze, organize, and apply facts concerning figures composed of points, lines, and surfaces or combinations of these. The concepts learned in geometry are very important since they play a prominent part in industry, mechanics, physical sciences and advanced mathematics.
Personal Finance
This course is the fourth math credit requirement for OHS learners. The main goal of this course is to help learners become financially literate today and into the future. The secondary goal of the course is to help learners identify and set personal and family financial goals into the future.
Pre Calculus
Pre-Calculus is an advanced course which extends the topics from Algebra II. The course emphasizes Trigonometry, Limits, and introductory calculus topics. All major areas covered in Algebra II are reinforced at a greater depth. The course is designed to encompass all those topics necessary to be successful in a college calculus course.
Advanced Placement: Statistics
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four broad conceptual themes:
- Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures from patterns
- Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study
- Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation
- Statistical Inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses
Students who successfully complete the course and examination may receive credit and/or advanced placement for a one-semester introductory college statistics course.
