2110 - MATH ENRICHMENT (9,10) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
Math Enrichment concentrates on the basic core goals of mathematics with emphasis on skills leading to Algebra 1 and Applied Math 1. Problem solving, computation and application of the language of mathematics are emphasized. Credits earned are elective and do not count as required math credits.
Prerequisites: 1. Failed eighth grade Pre-Algebra | 2.ISAT Score below the 219. | 3.Teacher recommendation.

2130 – ALGEBRA AB (S1) (9, 10) 2 Credits/1 Semester
This course covers the same concepts as the Algebra 1 course, with the only difference being the pace. There are many hands-on activities that help students to make the connections from school to professional and technological skills. It takes 2 semesters to complete this algebra series. The lab experiences are valuable and help to create a strong foundation in algebra.
Prerequisites: (1)ISAT score between 220-225, and (2) teacher recommendation.

Semester 1
1. Exploring expressions, equations and functions
2. Exploring rational numbers
3. Using proportional reasoning
4. Graphing relations and functions
5. Analyzing linear equations

2130 – ALGEBRA CD (S2) (9,10) 2 Credits/1 Semester
This course is a continuance of Algebra AB – Prerequisite:  Scientific calculator required.

Semester 2
1.Solving linear inequalities
2.Solving systems of linear equations & inequalities
3.Exploring polynomials
4.Factoring
5.Exploring rational expressions and equations

2115 – ISAT MATH (11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters                                                                                                                                              This course is for juniors who have not passed the ISAT math test.

2140 - ALGEBRA 1 (9,10,11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
The student will examine the complete real number system and its structure through the development of algebraic language and skills. An introduction to logic, exposure to algebraic proofs and opportunities to solve realistic problems are important ingredients of this course. Major skills covered are solving linear and quadratic equations.


2320 - GEOMETRY (9,10,11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
Geometry is a different kind of mathematics. Some of the concepts studied in elementary Algebra will be helpful to the student's understanding of Geometry. Geometry is valuable because of its wide variety of applications to other subjects such as astronomy, art and chemistry. Through the use of logic and imagination, the student will examine the postulated structure of Euclidean Geometry.

2330 - ALGEBRA 2 (10,11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
Advanced Algebra provides the finishing touch that will unlock the mysteries and magic of science, engineering, architecture, design, health science, and of course, mathematics. Some concepts presented in Geometry will be most helpful to the student of Advanced Algebra. Major Skills covered are a study of higher degree polynomials, logarithms and exponents, and conics.
 

2210 - APPLIED MATH I (10,11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
Students will be given a lab class, "hands on" opportunity, to focus on arithmetic operations, problem-solving techniques, estimation of answers, measurement skills, algebra, geometry, data handling, statistics, and computers to solve problems.
Prerequisite:  Completed Math Enrichment with a C" or better.

2220 - APPLIED MATH II (11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
Students will be given a lab class, "hands on" opportunity to focus on scientific notation, vectors, precision, formulas used to solve real-life problems, use nonlinear and linear equations to solve problems, and work with probabilities and statistics.
Prerequisite: Completed Applied Math I with a "C" or better, or Algebra 1 or Geometry with approval of instructor

2230 – APPLIED MATH III (11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
This is a continuation of the Applied Math course with emphasis on trigonometry and analytical geometry. It involves labs and activities as well as problems taken from the work environment.
Prerequisite: Algebra 2 or Applied Math

2410 - PRE-CALCULUS (10) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
Sets, functions, complex numbers, graphing, exponential and logarithmic functions, are expanded from Advanced Algebra. New topics introduced will include trigonometry, analytic geometry, mathematical induction, sequence and series, and polar coordinates. This course is intended to serve sophomores who are not eligible to take IB math classes.

2430 - IB MATH STUDIES, SL - YR (11,12) 3Credits/3 Semesters                                                                                                              This course will deal mainly with linear/nonlinear functions, probability and statistics, and an introduction to differential calculus. The purpose of Math Studies SL is to provide students at Lake City High School, who are pursuing non-Math related careers, an opportunity for mathematical growth and discovery. There will be an emphasis on connecting students with the accomplishments of various mathematicians, their discoveries, and different methods used in other countries. 

2440 - IB MATHEMATICS 1 (11) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
2450 - IB MATHEMATICS 2, SL (12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters      The first year topics that will be covered are functions, matrices, circular functions and trigonometry, vectors, algebra, statistics and probability, and calculus. Emphasis will be on both understanding and application. Students will learn the international symbols, the use of the graphing calculator, and mathematical writing skills. During the second year the history of mathematics will be used to connect the topics
