This course is develops sound, logical thinking skills.
While studying properties of various polygons, students will
use deductive reasoning to develop a formal proof. Other topics
covered are congruency, classification of triangles, constructing
geometric figures, applying ratio and proportion to similar
triangles, applying the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangles,
using rules / formulas of circles, chords, and secants, and
general problem-solving.

This course offers a thorough
review of elementary algebra followed by the study of complex
numbers, quadratic equations and functions, variation, and
analytic geometry. This course prepares students for college
algebra. Students will be encouraged to follow up this course
with Math IV or Algebra III.

ALGEBRA II :
Credit 1
Prerequisite: Completion of Geometry with
a Grade of B or Higher, and Teacher Recommendation
This course is required for
students planning to progress to Trig/Pre-Calculus and then
Calculus. After a brief review of elementary algebra, the
students will cover complex numbers, quadratic equations and
functions, variation, analytic geometry, exponential and logarithmic
functions, and an introduction to plane Trigonometry. Matrices
and determinants will also be discussed.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus
and Teacher Recommendation
Course Fee: Based upon Rockhurst course fee
requirements This course
is intended for students who have a thorough knowledge of
college preparatory mathematics, including algebra, axiomatic
geometry, and analytical geometry (rectangular and polar coordinates,
equations and graphs of lines and conics). Topics covered
are limits, derivatives, and integrals of a wide variety of
functions and their applications to curve sketching, maximum
and minimum problems, area and volume. Students may elect
to sign up for advanced college credit through Rockhurst University

IV:
Credit 1
Prerequisite: Successful Completion of Algebra
II or Honors Algebra II This
course is designed to enable students to grasp basic and essential
topics of statistics such as descriptive statistics, probability,
hypothesis testing, binomial and normal distributions, and
linear regression. Students will also spend time preparing
for ACT and SAT testing. This course is intended for students
who have passed Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II but do
not wish to pursue Trigonometry, yet want or need a fourth
year of math.
