Pullman High School

Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra or Math 8

This course reviews concepts of one-variable equations and inequalities and covers the laws of exponents, manipulating radicals (using the laws of exponents), factoring of polynomials, solving linear systems, operations on rational expressions and solving quadratic equations. This course recommended for students who completed their 8th grade course with C or better.

Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite: Algebra I or Integrated Math

This course teaches reasoning skills in the context of relationships between and about figures such as lines, angles, triangles, circles, etc. and an introduction to trigonometry. Students learn by conducting investigations using various construction tools, making conjectures then verifying and applying these conjectures. Many of these conjectures will be formalized and used in later courses.

Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite: Algebra I or teacher recommendation

This course works to emphasize understanding and proficiency in skills and concepts involving numbers and operations in the areas of algebra and geometry. This will include work with proportional relationships, linear equations and graphs, solving inequalities, simplifying polynomial expressions, solving simple systems of equations, working with the concept and notation of a function, simplifying irrational numbers and radicals, introducing geometric definitions, investigating properties of transformations using coordinates (rotations, reflections, translations, dilations), investigating angle relationships in triangles and finding volumes of geometrical shapes. This course is recommended for students who did not complete Algebra I with C or better. 

Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry

This course will introduce and present a formal treatment of statistics, combinatorics, probability and sampling. Also, this course will explore in depth the topic of Algebraic functions. This will include linear functions, quadratic functions and other nonlinear functions, with a special emphasis on their applications in a variety of technical and non-technical fields. This course is designed for students planning to take Algebra II during the subsequent year.

Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, Statistics & Algebraic Concepts

This course will cover in depth the following topics: matrices, systems of equations, polynomials, logarithms, exponential functions, power functions, rational function and an introduction to function notation and functions-inverses and composites. 

Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry, Statistics, Algebra II

Mathematical Modeling will build upon students' knowledge of algebra, geometry, probability and statistics to analyze information, represent mathematical relationships, make decisions or solve problems based on quantitative data and logical reasoning. The requirements for earning college credit will be provided in writing by the instructor at the beginning of the course. Students taking this course College in High School will not be required to pay any college level tuition or fees. Enrolling in any College in the High School program for both high school and college credit automatically starts an official college transcript regardless of a student’s performance in the course. See Appendix C for more information.

Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 

Topics will include; limits, continuity, derivatives and integrals. Students will be taught to differentiate and integrate polynomials, rational functions, logarithmic functions, exponential functions and the trig functions. They will be able to apply the derivative to max-min problems, implicitly related rates problems, differential problems and L’Hopital’s Rule. They will study the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. They will be able to apply the integral to volume problems, area problems and Riemann Sums. Students can choose to take the Advanced Placement Calculus AB Exam in May based upon material learned in this course. The requirements for earning college credit will be provided in writing by the instructor at the beginning of the course.

Prerequisite: Junior/Senior & Enrolled in Algebra II or higher 

AP Computer Science A is a college-level introductory computer science course. Students cultivate their understanding of coding in Java through analyzing, writing and testing code as they explore concepts like modularity, variables and control structures. Students who take AP CSA are usually planning to attend a 2 or 4-year college and will sit the AP CSA exam in the spring. Students who do best in AP Computer Science genuinely want to learn new ideas and how to code. Students who are prepared for AP CSA have solid algebra and logic skills, but do NOT need to have ANY coding experience. Students will be expected to ask questions, drive their learning, complete application projects and challenge themselves.
