MAT 0111/0112: Integrated Math 1 A/B

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

This is the first course in the three year Integrated Math series. The program focuses on combining Algebra and Geometry concepts in order to help students develop an understanding of how these concepts are implemented in the real world. This class is an introductory level. The concepts students will learn are solving equations, order of operations, graphing and reviewing basic geometric figures and concepts. This counts as the Algebra 1 credit required for graduation.

MAT 0211/0212: Integrated Math 2 A/B

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

This is the second course in the three year Integrated Math series. The program focuses on combining Algebra and Geometry concepts in order to help students develop an understanding of how these concepts are implemented in the real world. This level is about developing and growing topics from year one. Integrated 2 solidifies equations and graphing while introducing trigonometry, transformations and congruent triangles. This counts as the Geometry credit required for graduation.

MAT 0311/0312: Integrated Math 3 A/B

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

This is the third course in the three year Integrated Math series. The program focuses on combining Algebra and Geometry concepts in order to help students develop an understanding of how these concepts are implemented in the real world. This level is about refining students’ understanding and implementations of the mathematical concepts. Integrated 3 focuses on systems of equations, triangle proofs, polynomials and quadratics, while reviewing equations, exponents, graphing, and geometry concepts. This counts as the Algebra 2 credit required for graduation.

MAT 0351/0352: Pre-Calculus A/B

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

This course is for students who would need to take significant math in college but aren’t quite ready to take college classes now. First semester we will be covering factoring, polynomial functions, and sketching functions using parent graphs. Second semester focuses on trigonometric functions and trigonometric identities. Students considering this course should have passes their other 3 years of Math classes with a C or better, in order to be successful.

MAT 0361/0362: Personal Finance A/B

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

Personal Finance includes a variety of topics needed in today’s society. Some of the areas studied will be banking, credit, automobile ownership, employment basics, income taxes, housing, retirement and budgets. This course fulfills the fourth mathematics credit needed for graduation

MATC 121: DC Intermediate Algebra

Credits 0.5 (Per Semester)

Intermediate Algebra extends and strengthens concepts covered in Beginning Algebra. Functions are introduced and integrated throughout the course where appropriate in the context of the following topics: linear equations, inequalities and graphs; absolute value equations and inequalities; operations on polynomials; rational expressions, equations and inequalities; radical expressions and equations; and quadratic equations, inequalities and graphs. Appropriate college placement score applies.

MATC 142: DC College Mathematics

Credits 0.5 (Per Semester)

College Mathematics applies practical knowledge of college-level mathematics to real-life problems. Topics include critical thinking, proportional reasoning, linear and exponential growth and decay, geometry, personal finance, probability, and statistics, with an emphasis on understanding concepts and their applications. College Math is recommended for students majoring in the liberal arts, elementary education, and the social sciences whose major does not require College Algebra or Precalculus.

MATC 161/162: Cambridge IGCSE Math Year 1 A/B (IGCSE Algebra I)

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

This course prepares students to demonstrate mathematical knowledge as a key life skill, and as a basis for more advanced study. Students will develop a feel for numbers, patterns and relationships, with a strong emphasis on solving problems and presenting and interpreting results. Students also learn how to communicate and reason using mathematical concepts. This course will allow students to develop their mathematical knowledge and oral, written and practical skills; read mathematics, and write and talk about the subject in a variety of ways; apply mathematics in everyday situations and develop an understanding of the part which mathematics plays in the world around them. The course is equivalent to Algebra I credit with supplemental Cambridge material to enrich and expand concepts. Required for The Grand Canyon High School Diploma.

MATC 261/262: Cambridge Math Year 2 A/B (IGCSE Geometry)

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

This course investigates many of the high school concepts of geometry, logic, and reasoning and continues the theme of Cambridge Year 1. Students also learn how to communicate and reason using mathematical concepts. This course will allow students to develop their mathematical knowledge and oral, written and practical skills; read mathematics, and write and talk about the subject in a variety of ways; apply mathematics in everyday situations and develop an understanding of the part which mathematics plays in the world around them. The course is equivalent to a Geometry credit with supplemental Cambridge material to enrich and expand concepts. Required for The Grand Canyon High School Diploma.

MATC 361/362: IGCSE Additional Math A/B (Algebra II)

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics (US) allows students to: • further develop their use of mathematical concepts and principles • extend their mathematical skills and their use in more advanced techniques • solve problems, present solutions logically, and interpret results • develop a solid foundation for further study. Our programs balance a thorough knowledge and understanding of a subject and help to develop the skills learners need fortheir next steps in education or employment. The course is equivalent to an Algebra II credit with supplemental Cambridge material to enrich and expand concepts.

MATC 371/372: Cambridge AS Math A/B

Credits 1.0 (0.5 Credits Per Semester)

The purpose of this course is to enable students to develop an understanding of mathematical principles and an appreciation of mathematics as a logical and coherent subject; acquire a range of mathematical skills, particularly those which will enable them to use applications of mathematics in the context of everyday situations and of other subjects they may be studying; develop the ability to analyze problems logically, recognize when and how a situation may be represented mathematically, identify and interpret relevant factors, and, where necessary, select an appropriate mathematical method to solve the problem; use mathematics as a means of communication with emphasis on the use of clear expression; and acquire the mathematical background necessary for further study in this or related subjects. Recommended for the Cambridge AICE diploma.
