Pre-requisite:  Algebra I              
Recommended Grade Level: 10 – 12

Description:  Euclidean Geometry is a college-prep course that will expand the student's understanding of geometry beyond just the concept of deductive reasoning.   This course will stress a variety of geometric applications through enhancing visual understanding of geometry and the use of algebraic skills and concepts.

Course Title:  Algebra II
Course Number: 27.0640038
Course Number: 27.0640098
Pre-requisite:  Algebra I                
Recommended Grade Level:  9 – 12

Description:  Algebra II initially reviews and then extends the concepts from Algebra I.  Included among these topics are:  the basic operations with real numbers and polynomials, solving equations and inequalities, linear functions, factoring polynomials, and simplifying rational expressions.  Also included in the Algebra II curriculum is the study irrational and complex numbers, quadratic equations and analytic geometry.
