*Course numbers ending in 1 are first semester courses.
**Course numbers ending in 2 are second semester courses.

The following courses are offered but are not recognized by Jefferson County Public Schools and JCPS will not accept the credit: Foundations of Mathematics I and II, Pre-Algebra A, Pre-Algebra B.

Algebra I A (42710211*)
Algebra 1 includes the study of linear equations, linear inequalities, linear functions, systems of equations, and polynomials.

Algebra I B (42710212**)
Algebra 1 includes the study of linear equations, linear inequalities, linear functions, systems of equations, and polynomials.

Geometry A (42720211)
Geometry includes the study of linear and angle relationships, triangles, polygons, circles, transformations, similarity, right triangle trigonometry, surface area, volume and geometric probability. In each unit, students will complete tutorials, practice exercises, quizzes, open-response questions and a unit assessment. A practice final is given for review at the end of the course before the final exam is given.

PreCalculus A (42740211)
PreCalculus includes the study of functions, polynomial functions, rational expressions, equations, and functions, radical expressions, equations, and functions, exponential equations and functions, logarithmic equations and functions, and trigonometric functions.

PreCalculus B (42740212)
PreCalculus includes the study of functions, polynomial functions, rational expressions, equations, and functions, radical expressions, equations, and functions, exponential equations and functions, logarithmic equations and functions, and trigonometric functions.

Foundations of Mathematics I and II
Foundations is a basic level course that enriches arithmetic skills and enhances analytic and critical thinking. This course provides a comprehensive, conceptually-based study of the mathematics of the natural and whole number systems. Topics studied include patterns and problem solving, decimals, geometric shapes and their properties, algebraic ideas, and introductory statistics and probability. Problem solving strategies and project work are emphasized. The course focuses on the use of rational numbers, elementary geometry concepts, recognizing and extending patterns, and interpreting data sets.

Pre-Algebra A
Pre-Algebra is a course that uses problem situations, physical models, and appropriate technology to investigate concepts and topics that prepare students for higher level mathematics. Problem-solving situations will provide all students an environment that promotes communication and fosters connections within mathematics, to other disciplines, and to the real world. Students will use physical models to represent, explore, and develop abstract concepts. the use of appropriate technology will help students apply mathematics in an increasingly technological world. The concepts emphasized in the course include investigating and analyzing the real number system and its properties, developing and applying skills in measurement and computation, recognizing and applying patterns to solve problems, investigating basic functions and their graphs, evaluating algebraic expressions and solving equations, developing basic concepts of statistics and probability, and investigating geometric properties and relationships.
