Mathematics

Topics from the standard eighth-grade text include the introduction of abstract reasoning and equation solving using real numbers.

Topics from the standard Algebra I text include working with real numbers in word problems, solving equations, inequalities and problem solving.

Topics from a standard Algebra II textbook include working with real numbers, imaginary numbers, and complex numbers in solving equations, inequalities, and problem solving. Prerequisite: Algebra I or Placement Test

Content areas include points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, polygons, circles, areas, volumes, and coordinates. Applied level students will take a "hands-on" approach to discover the properties of geometry.

Content areas include points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, polygons, circles, areas, volumes, and coordinates. Honors level requires higher level cognitive skills through theory-based proof-oriented studies to challenge students and prepare them for Pre-Calculus studies.

Prerequisites: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and/or Placement Test

The Pre-Calculus portion of the course builds on the foundations of solving and graphing different types of functions, including: polynomial, inverse, periodic, exponential, and logarithmic.  The Trigonometric focus of this course includes: The Unit Circle, Sine, Cosine, Tangent, inverses, and graphs.

Content area include Differential Calculus including implicit differentiation, applications of the derivative, Maxima, Minima, Mean Value Theorem, Taylor's Theorem, Taylor's Series, Limits; Integral Calculus including definite integrals, area, volume of solids of revolution, indefinite integrals, applications of integration, theory of infinite series, and integration by parts.

Grier's Advanced Placement® (AP® ) program provides students with competitive courses which prepare students for university and college studies.

This course provides a thorough study of the elementary functions of Calculus designed to prepare a student for the AP® Calculus AB exam in May.

Grier's Advanced Placement® (AP® ) program provides students with competitive courses which prepare students for university and college studies.

The AP Calculus BC course is designed to offer students who have completed a regular calculus course or the AP® Calculus AB course an opportunity to further study calculus. All of the topics of the “AP® Calculus BC” course description will be discussed.

This course is an introduction to statistical reasoning with an emphasis on concepts over in-depth coverage of methods. Topics will include graphical displays, simulation and experimentation, surveys, sampling, basic probability, normal distributions, and single and two sample hypothesis testing for means and proportions. Prerequisite: Algebra II

This class uses a college level text with computer applications for college bound students who are interested in the study of basic statistical methods. This AP® course prepares each student for the AP® Statistics Exam.

Introduction to Matrices and Linear Algebra (DE) - Grade: 10-12
