DE LUTIO, EUGENE

Credits: 5

Grades: 9, 10

This course is a systematic investigation of the properties of the real number system. The course is designed to deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Students will also engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. This course integrates the elements of algebra with technology, problem solving, application and mathematical modeling. Through the Mathematical Practice Standards students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Prerequisite: 85 in Pre-Calculus Honors or Calculus Honors

Grade: 11, 12

Students learn to appreciate the value of calculus as the mathematics of change and motion. This course prepares students for further study in all branches of higher mathematics, science and related fields. The course emphasizes an approach to calculus that involves problems being expressed numerically, analytically, graphically and verbally. Technology is used regularly to reinforce these approaches to confirm written work, to implement experimentation and assist in interpreting results. This course is equivalent to a college Calculus 1 course. All students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses are required to take the Advanced Placement Examination in May (see Policy 2429 & Program of Studies page 5).
