PREALGEBRA /ALGEBRA I-A (CSU / UC for Algebra IA) (two semesters; Freshmen)
PREREQUISITE: Enrollment determined by Placement Exam scores and Summer School Math Foundations course. Designed for students who need mathematics taught at a slower pace, this course is designed to provide students with a strong foundation for success in Algebra I. Algebra I content begins in the second semester and continues through the sophomore year.
ALGEBRA I-B/ALGEBRA I-C (CSU/UC) (two semesters; Sophomores)
PREREQUISITE: Passing grade in Algebra IA This course completes the Algebra I ABC sequence begun during the freshman year.
ALGEBRA I (CSU/UC) (two semesters; required of Freshmen not in Prealgebra or Geometry)
PREREQUISITE: 8th Grade Placement Examination; Summer School Algebra Fundamentals course, if required for placement. This is a beginning course in Algebra to which all incoming freshmen are assigned. The course covers the real number system, basic algebraic operations, factoring techniques, rational equations, and second-degree equations. Select freshman students may test out of Algebra I based on scores earned on the Math Placement exam given in May.
GEOMETRY (CSU/UC) (two semesters; required of Sophomores not in Algebra I-C)
PREREQUISITE: Passing grade in Algebra I This course examines the properties of angles, triangles, parallelograms, polygons and circles. HONORS GEOMETRY (CSU/UC) (two semesters; Sophomores; WEIGHTED) PREREQUISITE: A- in Algebra I, B- in Honors Algebra I This course covers Geometry in a more in-depth manner. Emphasis is placed on postulates, logic and a deductive system. This is an honors course for those students interested in pursuing a mathematical or scientific major in college.
