2 credits required (Class of 2007 and 2008)
3 credits required (Class of 2009 and after)

You should also keep in mind the qualified admission standards for entry into the Kansas Regents Universities.
In mathematics, students should complete at least three years of high school math which must include: Algebra I-A and I-B can be substituted for Algebra I.

Finally, the N.C.A.A. requirements to be eligible for athletics stipulate that students should have completed Algebra I and Geometry in high school.
Again, Algebra I-A and I-B may be substituted for Algebra I.

Class Descriptions

ELL BASIC MATH SKILLS I 100X (full year, credit by semester)
This class is designed for limited English proficiency. This class is a study of the four basicc operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and their uses with whole numbers, fraction, and decimals. Instructor approval is required. This course does not meet the state requirements for a math credit.

ELL BASIC MATH SKILLS II 100X (full year, credit by semester)
Prerequisite: ELL Basic Math Skills I
This course reviews the basic skills of mathematics and introduces percentages and problem-solving techniques.
Back to Top

CORE ALGEBRA I-A 100 (full year, credit by semester)
Core Algebra IA is available to students who are not placed in Algebra I. Students will use graphs and statistics to represent real-world data; study patterns of change; simplify algebraic expressions; solve equations; calculate percentages and proportions; and find the probability and odds of a simple event.
Back to Top

CORE ALGEBRA I-B 200 (full year, credit by semester)
Core Algebra I-B is the second course in the Core sequence. Topics include graphing linear equations, systems of linear equations, understanding coordinate methods for representing and analyzing geometric shapes, and solving problems using formulas.
Back to Top

PRE-ALGEBRA 100X (full year, credit by semester)
This course is designed for students needing mathematical background before entering Algebra I at teh beginning of grade 9. It will allow students who are currently below grade level to gain valuable reinforcement of basic mathematical skills and gain new knowledge of introductory algebra concepts not limited to but including:
operations with integers and rationals, solving equations, graphing linear equations and computation/analysis of basic statistics and probability.

Upon the successful completion of this course, students will receive one math credit toward graduation. Students who are planning to meet "Qualified Admissions" will need to complete three additional classes (Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II) to meet the requirements set forth by the Board of Regents.

APPLIED GEOMETRY 000 (full year, credit by semester)
Prerequisite: Algebra I or Algebra IB
This course will cover aspects of plane and solid geometric figures. While all aspects of geometry will be discussed, this course will be less theoretical and more applied than the Geometry class. Applications of polygonal shapes and circles, perpendicular and parallel lines, angle relationships, graphing, measurement, area, volume, and right triangle trigonometry will be explored. Improvement of algebraic skills will be stressed throughout the course.
Back to Top

TRIGONOMETRY AND ANALYSIS 400 (full year, credit by semester)
Prerequisite: Algebra II
This course includes topics in trigonometry, probability and statistics, matrices, sequences and series, vector application problems, analytical geometry, logarithms, solutions of equations of degree 3 or greater, and applications of all concepts.
Back to Top

CALCULUS 400 (full year, credit by semester) Weighted Class
Prerequisite: Trig and Analysis
This course covers elementary differentiation and integration of algebraic and trigonometric functions. Applications to multiple disciplines will be stressed throughout the course.
Back to Top

INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS 200x(full year, credit by semester)
Prerequisite: Geometry or Applied Geometry or concurrent
This course will acquaint students with concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data. Included in the course will be many activities involving hands-on gathering and analysis of real world data. This course may include such topics as Data Analysis, Descriptive Statistics, Probability, Hypothesis Testing and Regression Analysis. Computers, the internet, and graphics calculators will be used as tools for collection and analysis of data.

AP STATISTICS 400x(full year, credit by semester)
Prerequisite: Algebra II or instructor approval
The purpose of the AP course in statistics is to introduce students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students are exposed to four major broad conceptual themes:

  1. Exploring Data: Describing patterns and departures from patterns.
  2. Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study
  3. Anticipating Patterns: Exploring random phenomena using probability and simulations.
  4. Statistical Inference: Estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses.


COLLEGE ALGEBRA (Emporia State University) 400 (semester, 1/2 credit (EHS) or 3 credit hours (ESU) or dual credit)
Prerequisite: Algebra II
This course will cover basic operations, products and factoring, linear and quadratic equations, graphs, ration and proportion, inequalities, logarithms, mathematical induction, permutations, combinations, determinants. Texas Instrument graphing calculator required. This course will be taught at Emporia High School first or second semester, depending on enrollment. There will be an additional cost for tuition and a book.

GEOMETRY 200 (full year, credit by semester)
Prerequisite: Algebra I or Algebra I-A and I-B
Geometry is the first course in mathematics where formal logical reasoning is stressed. The subject provides concepts leading to the understanding of plane and solid geometric figures and how to use the postulates and theorems of these figures. Inductive and deductive reasoning and how to design a good logical proof are studied. The improvement of algebraic skills is stressed throughout the year. A proctor in the mathematics department will have responsibility to the instructor with whom he or she is enrolled. Responsibilities will include tutorial activities, duplicating materials, typing materials, and other applicable assignments. Permission of instructor needed.

HONORS GEOMETRY 2 300x (full year, credit by semester) weighted class
See Geometry. Students must be highly motivated, have strong skills, and be willing to accept responsibilities beyond those expected in a regular Geometry course. Students must have completed Algebra I with a grade of "B" or better, have the recommendation from an Algebra I teacher, and have completed honors application on file.

ALGEBRA II 300 (semester, 1/4 credit)
Prerequisite: Geometry
This course includes such topics as axioms of real numbers, open sentences in one and two variables, polynomials and factoring, rational numbers and quadratic expressions, exponential functions, and complex numbers. Algebraic and graphical solutions of problems will be stressed.
HONORS ALGEBRA II 2 300x (full year, credit by semester) weighted class
See Algebra II. Students must be highly motivated, have strong study skills, and be willing to accept responsibilities beyond those expected in a regular Algebra II class. Students must have completed geometry with a grade of "B" or better, have the recommendation from their geometry teacher and have a completed honors application on file.

STUDENT PROCTOR 000 (semester, 1/4 credit)
A proctor in the mathematics department will have responsibility to the instructor with whom he or she is enrolled. Responsibilities will include tutorial activities, duplicating materials, typing materials, and other applicable assignments. Permission of instructor needed.
