Courses & Descriptions
*(ISAT test scores, teacher recommendations and transcript grades are used to place students in math courses.)*
105 - PRE-ALGEBRA (9) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
This course is offered for students that have NOT yet met the criteria for entering Algebra 1. Topics include simple equations and inequalities, exponent rules, linear graphing, radicals, and algebraic evaluations. The course counts towards elective credit and does not meet the Math requirements for high school graduation.
2115 - ISAT MATH (11,12) 2 Credits/2 Semesters
This course is for juniors who have not passed the ISAT math test.
2120 - 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
2125 - ALGEBRA CD (S2) (9,10) 2 Credits/1 Semester
This course is a continuance of Algebra AB
Semester 2
1.Solving linear inequalities
2.Solving systems of linear equations inequalities
3.Exploring polynomials
4.Factoring
5.Exploring rational expressions and equations
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.
2210 - APPLIED MATH 1 (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 2 (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, Algebra 1 or Geometry
2230 - APPLIED MATH3 (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
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 (9,10,11,12) 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.
2410 - HONORS 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) 3 Credits/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
2462 - IB MATHEMATICS 2, HL/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.
2520 - Math P123 Mathematics for Modern Situations (11, 12) 1 Credit/1 Semester
Mathematical methods and concepts are applied to modern day situations. The topics include number theory and representation, logic statements, measurement, algebraic graphs, functions, equations, inequalities, and linear systems. This is a prerequisite for Math 123.
Prerequisites: the student must have passed either a Pre-Calculus course or Algebra II with at least a grade of C- and a score of 43 or higher on the COMPASS Algebra.
2521 - MATH 123 Contemporary Mathematics (11, 12) 1 Credit/1 Semester
In MATH 123, mathematical methods and concepts are applied to modern day situations. Intended primarily for liberal arts majors, this course offers many useful techniques and insights for our increasingly technical world. It is assumed that students coming into the course have a working knowledge of algebra at an intermediate level. Topics may vary as textbooks change, but typically include a variety from the following: voting theory, apportionment, probability, statistics, consumer
finance, paths and networks, scheduling, fair division, right angle trigonometry, similarity and scaling, exponential and logistic growth, renewable resources, linear programming, and game theory.
LCHS Prerequisite: LCHS Math P123
Dual Credit Option:
9825 - NIC Math 123 3 NIC Credits/1.5 LCHS Credits 1 Semester
To earn NIC credit, students must be enrolled for Dual Credit and pay NIC tuition.
NIC MATH 123 satisfies the NIC math requirement for the A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees.
NIC Prerequisites: Entry is based on an appropriate score on the placement test, either COMPASS Algebra 45, ACT Math 19, SAT Math 460 or a grade of C- or above in NIC MATH 108.
