Algebra I is the foundation—the skills acquired in this course contain the basic knowledge needed for all future high school math courses. The material covered in this course is important, but everyone can do it. Everyone can have a good time solving the hundreds of real-world problems algebra can help answer. Course activities make the numbers, graphs, and equations more real. The content in this course is tied to real-world applications like sports, travel, business, and health.

This course is designed to give students the skills and strategies to solve all kinds of mathematical problems. Students will also acquire the confidence needed to handle everything high school math has in store for them. Algebra I emphasizes the importance of algebra in everyday life through hundreds of real-world examples. Assessments are designed to ensure that your understanding goes beyond rote memorization of steps and procedures. Upon successful course completion, you will have a strong foundation in Algebra I and will be prepared for other higher level math courses.

One day in 2580 B.C.E., a very serious architect stood in a dusty desert with a set of plans. His plans called for creating a structure 480 feet tall, with a square base and triangular sides, using stone blocks weighing two tons each. The Pharaoh wanted the job done right. The better this architect understood geometry, the better his chances were for staying alive.

Geometry is everywhere, not just in pyramids. Engineers use geometry to build highways and bridges. Artists use geometry to create perspective in their paintings, and mapmakers help travelers find things using the points located on a geometric grid. Throughout this course, students travel a mathematical highway illuminated by spatial relationships, reasoning, connections, and problem solving.

This course allows students to learn while having fun. Interactive examples help guide students’ journey through customized feedback and praise. Mathematical concepts are applied to everyday occurrences such as earthquakes, stadium seating, and purchasing movie tickets. Students investigate the effects of an equation on its graph through the use of technology. Students have opportunities to work with their peers on specific lessons.

Algebra 2 is an advanced course using hands-on activities, applications, group interactions, and the latest technology.

Transition to College Algebra is a course for seniors who will need College Algebra to meet their postsecondary goals, but require additional academic preparation to place into that course.

This class addresses Kansas Core Outcomes established for Fundamentals of Math, Elementary Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra and is aligned with KSDE’s Kansas College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics.  Additionally, it meets Qualified Admissions match requirements and will enable more high school seniors to experience a smooth transition between high school and college.

Prerequisite:  High school senior, ACT Math score of less than 22, and Score between Elementary Algebra and College Algebra on the ACCUPLACER exam.

Course Length: Fall Semester or Full year

Credit: .5 or 1.0

Students, as mathematic analysts, investigate how advanced mathematics concepts are used to solve problems encountered in operating national parks. As students venture from algebra to trigonometry, they analyze and articulate the real-world application of these concepts. The purpose of this course is to study functions and develop skills necessary for the study of calculus. This course includes algebra, analytical geometry, and trigonometry.

Students in this course will walk in the footsteps of Newton and Leibnitz.

An interactive course framework combines with the exciting on-line course delivery to make calculus an adventure. The course includes a study of limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration of algebraic, trigonometric, and transcendental functions, and the applications of derivatives and integrals.

An Advanced Placement (AP) course in calculus consists of a full high school year of work that is comparable to calculus courses in colleges and universities. It is expected that students who take an AP course in calculus will seek college credit, college placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning.

Most colleges and universities offer a sequence of several courses in calculus, and entering students are placed within this sequence according to the extent of their preparation, as measured by the results of an AP examination or other criteria.

College Algebra is a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts of algebra. Topics include quadratic equations, polynomial functions, rational functions, radical functions, logarithms, systems of equations and inequalities, matrices and determinants, and additional topics as time permits. This course will also focus on the analysis of graphs. Students will be required to have a graphing calculator. College credit for this course will be given.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of both semesters of Algebra 2 or Advanced Algebra 2 and a 2.5 GPA or an Accuplacer score of 46 or higher or corresponding ACT Math score of 22 or higher and excellent attendance record. MATC Tuition for 3.0 credit hour, books and supply fees are the responsibility of the student.
