| COURSE: | Algebra II with Financial Appl | CREDITS: | 5 credits |
| COURSE CODE: | MEPF | UC/CSU: | Subject C/ |
| GRADE: | 9 - 12 |
| NOTES: | CHS Only |
|
Algebra II with Financial Applications is a project-based learning that offers students an opportunity to view the world of finance through a mathematical lens. Building on their work with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions from Algebra 1 students extend their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. The foundational purpose of the course is to develop mathematically proficient students that can apply the mathematical concepts they attain to solving real-life problems they encounter through daily challenges, societal issues, the workplace, and the financial survival of life. Through contextual problem solving and the mathematical modeling of real-situations, the course gives the students the motivation to persevere through routine and non-routine problems, and as a result, develop strength and confidence in their mathematics ability.

Geometry Honors follows the same objectives as outlined in Geometry but in more depth and at a faster pace. The Honors Geometry course will cover the same chapters from the textbook as the college prep Geometry course. However, students should expect more in depth homework assignments with higher level problems that involve more critical thinking, analyzing, and problem solving. Exams in the honors course will also be longer and more challenging. The honors course covers geometry more in depth and students are expected to keep up with the pacing and the higher level of critical thinking that is necessary.
