Mathematics

This is the first mathematics course in the Regents sequence. The purpose of this course is to satisfy the Algebra requirement of the Next Generation Learning Standards adopted by New York State. This course will assist students in developing skills and processes to be applied using a variety of techniques to successfully solve problems in a variety of settings. Problem situations may result in all types of linear equations in one variable, quadratic functions with integral coefficients and roots as well as absolute value and exponential functions. Coordinate geometry will be integrated into the investigation of these functions allowing students to make connections between their analytical and geometrical representations. This class is taught using a 1 period/2 period (A/B days) format so that students receive 39 additional minutes of instruction every other day. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and a TI-84 Plus CE calculator will be issued to all freshmen and sophomores taking a math course. Students will take the Algebra I Regents exam in June.
 

This is the first year in a two-year Algebra I course designed for students who benefit from additional math instruction (See Algebra I description). Students who enroll in this course will also complete Algebra CC 1-2 the following year, and will take the Algebra I Regents exam in June upon completion of this two year course. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and a TI-84 Plus CE calculator will be issued to all freshmen and sophomores taking a math course.
 

This is the second year in a two-year Algebra I course designed for students who benefit from additional math instruction (See Algebra I description). Students who enroll in this course will take the Algebra I Regents exam in June upon completion of this course. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and a TI-84 Plus CE calculator will be issued to all freshmen and sophomores taking a math course.
 

Geometry is the second course in the Regents mathematics sequence for high school students. The purpose of this course is to satisfy the Geometry requirement of the Next Generation Learning Standards adopted by New York State. Within this course, students will have the opportunity to make conjectures about geometric situations and prove in a variety of ways, both formal and informal, that a conclusion follows logically from their hypothesis. This course is meant to employ an integrated approach to the study of geometric relationships. Geometry is meant to lead students to any understanding that reasoning and proof are fundamental aspects of mathematics and something that sets it apart from the other sciences. This class is taught using a 1 period/2 period (A/B days) format so that students receive 39 additional minutes of instruction every other day. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and owning a Texas Instruments graphing calculator (TI-84 minimum) is most helpful. A TI-84 Plus CE calculator will be issued to all freshmen and sophomores taking a math course. Students will take the Geometry Regents exam in June. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I.
 

This is the second course of the three-year sequence in Regents math for the accelerated ninth grade math student (see Geometry Regents description above). This honors level course follows the syllabus for Regents Geometry, extending some topics and drilling to greater depth in several areas of the curriculum. Students will take the Geometry Regents exam in June that covers all of the material in the NYS Geometry NGLS. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra I.
