Grades 10-12                                    .5 Credit                                   Level 1                                   Course #1382                                                                                                

This course is designed for students who have successfully completed Honors Algebra II and find themselves asking the question ”When am I ever going to use this?”  Students will develop knowledge, understanding, and skills that will enable them to apply mathematical ideas and strategies in real-life situations.  These include physical, economic, sport, and environmental applications.  Polynomial functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, inverse functions, and conic sections will be used.  This class can be taken alongside a “traditional” mathematics course or taken as an alternative and will focus on projects and learning through problem-solving.
