PYTHON PROGRAMMING: INTERMEDIATE
Entering Grades 9-12 – This course will help students strengthen their skills and build on what they have learned in previous introductory classes. Through practical examples, students will gain a deeper understanding of programming and how it is applied in the real world. Projects will reinforce their understanding of fundamentals while encouraging experimentation and exploration. Students will learn about building a platform and applications using Python installation, variables, operators, strings, lists, tuples and maps, Turtle, drawing, conditional statements, loops, functions, objects and classes.
MATHEMATICS
*Meets Common Core Standards
INTRODUCTION TO HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA 2* Entering Grades 9-12 – This course emphasizes critical thinking, understanding of real-world applications
and the use of advanced problem-solving techniques. Students will gain an understanding of functions by using a graphical approach to contextualizing relationships, including linear, quadratic, absolute value, exponential and polynomial rational expressions. Students will learn how to define every relation as a transformation and translation of a parent function.
• Required materials: Students will need a pencil, eraser, small ruler, graph paper and TI-84 calculator (or equivalent) daily.
INTRODUCTION TO HIGH SCHOOL CALCULUS CONCEPTS
Entering Grades 9-12 – This course will introduce students to limits, derivatives, differentiation and integration. Students will receive guided exposure to concepts of calculus so they are better prepared for calculus courses during the academic year. Students will improve their understanding of equations, graphs and proofs, including the study of vectors and polar coordinates, advanced inequalities and series. The class will transition from advanced applications of
key precalculus concepts to more traditional calculus problems. Students will study and apply a combination of graphical, numerical and symbolic representations as they gain familiarity with each of the key calculus concepts throughout the course.
• Required materials: Students will need a pencil, eraser, small ruler, graph paper and TI-84 calculator (or equivalent) daily.
