Course #2010
This is an elective credit course designed to help prepare students who have failed the Nevada State Math Proficiency Test. The course concentrates on the four areas tested: numbers and operations; algebraic concepts; geometry and measurement; probability and statistics and data analysis; along with test taking strategies. Students will review all the Nevada State Mathematics Standards and take many sample tests to prepare them to pass the Nevada State Math Proficiency Test, which is a requirement for graduation with a standard diploma. Course number is .5 elective credit. PREREQUISITE: Failure of the Nevada Math Proficiency Test and a desire to pass it.
Course #2013, 2014
This is an elective course designed to provide students with support for mathematics courses. It will include a review of basic computational skills and concepts. Students may be simultaneously enrolled in this elective course when test scores or teacher recommendations indicate they are working below standard course levels. Emphasis will be placed on helping students to successfully complete their high school mathematics courses. In addition, students will develop the ability to reason and communicate mathematically, solve problems, and develop increased confidence in their mathematics ability. Each course number is .5 Mathematics credit
Course #2201, 2202
This one-year course is designed to teach the basics needed to be successful in algebra. This course builds on knowledge of real numbers, properties, linear equations, working with formulas, and basic mathematics. The course is filled with construction examples to make the mathematics relevant to the student learner. Each course number is .5 Mathematics credit.
Course #2221, 2222
This is one-year course is designed to teach the fundamentals of elementary algebra. This course lays the foundation of knowledge and skills needed in subsequent college preparatory mathematics courses. The major topics of study are; real numbers and the properties of real numbers; field properties; linear equations and the inequalities including systems; graphing; representing real world relationships; polynomials; factoring; square roots; quadratic equations; elements of probability and statistics; and problem solving. Throughout the year, students will be expected to develop the ability to reason and communicate mathematically, apply learned concepts to new problem-solving situations and exhibit increased confidence in their ability to solve mathematical problems. Each course number is .5 Mathematics credit.
Course #2227, 2228
This is a one-year course that will cover the following topics with an emphasis on proof introduced through student exploration activities: axioms, postulates and theorems; plane geometric figures; right triangles; constructions; congruence and similarity; proportions; perimeter, area and volume; circles; coordinate and transformational geometry; three-dimensional geometry; inductive reasoning; and probability applied to geometry. Development of deductive reasoning skills will be emphasized. Students will also review algebraic techniques, work on realistic problems, and use technology as much as possible. Students planning careers in the construction industry will benefit from this class as construction mathematics is incorporated daily. PREREQUISITE: Successful completion of Algebra 1-2 or Algebra 1 Crs 1 and Crs 2. Each course number is .5 Mathematics credit.
Course #2241, 2242
This is a one-year course, which strengthens and expands the techniques and concepts learned in elementary algebra. This course will strengthen the student’s problem solving and algebraic skills in preparation for advanced mathematics courses. The major topics of study are: equations and inequalities; relations and functions; systems of equations and inequalities; matrices; polynomials and polynomial functions; irrational and complex numbers; quadratic equations, relations and functions; rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions; sequences and series; and elements of probability and statistics. Throughout the year, students will be expected to continue to develop the ability to reason and communicate mathematically, apply learned concepts to new problem-solving situations, and exhibit increased confidence in their ability to solve mathematical problems on and off the jobsite. Each course number is .5 Mathematics credit.
Course #2247, 2248
