This course is intended to be the entry-level course at RHS. This is the first year of a three-year course progression in which students will discover the concepts of algebra, geometry, and statistics with an overall theme of problem solving.

Grade Level: 9 – 12

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 1

 

This is the second year of a three-year course progression in which students will discover the concepts of algebra, geometry and statistics with an overall theme of problem solving.

Grade Level: 11 – 12

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 1

 

This course is a support class for students concurrently enrolled in Integrated Math 2. All senior students in Integrated Math 2 are required to be concurrently enrolled in everyday math. Other students are enrolled based on the student's grades, test scores, and teacher recommendation. Final placement in everyday Integrated Math 2 will be based upon specific math department criteria.

Grade Level: 10

Prerequisite: A grade of “A” both semesters in Integrated 1 and teacher recommendation

 

This is the second and third year of a three-year course progression in which students will discover the concepts of algebra, geometry and statistics with an overall theme of problem solving. This course will meet every day so it will count as two classes in a student’s schedule.  

Grade Level: 9 - 12

Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in both semesters of Integrated Math 2 and Integrated Math 1

Recommended: Grade of “B” or better in both semesters of Integrated Math 2 and Integrated Math 1

 

This course is to prepare students for the rigors of college level mathematics. This is the final year of a three-year course progression in which students will discover the concepts of algebra, geometry, and statistics with an overall theme of problem solving.

Grade Level: 10 – 12 

Recommended: Completion of Intro to Business course

Dual Enrollment Course: Sierra College/Acct Fund-Bus Owners/Bus 000A (3 units)

 

Accounting is the “language of business”. This course will cover fundamental accounting principles and prepare students for future college business majors/minors such as business administration, accounting, marketing, international business management, etc. The course will offer practical training to enable students to hold bookkeeping or account clerk positions. Concepts covered will include basic financial accounting principles, recording and keeping financial data, financial statements, the accounting cycle and setting up accounting systems. Investments and an introduction to taxes are also included in the curriculum. Students will utilize computerized accounting systems and spreadsheets to complete their work and finish the course with a firm understanding of how to make data driven business decisions, and assess the health of a business through data analysis.

Grade Level: 11 – 12

Prerequisite: Integrated Math 3

 

Math Analysis integrates mathematical concepts from previous coursework. The course expands and synthesizes the material from Integrated 1, 2 and 3 including solving equations, probability, polynomials, inverses, factoring, trigonometric functions, statistics, and graphing with translations. The course also provides experience with problem solving for non-routine problems and financial mathematics. Students will complete projects throughout the course in order to keep the standards of mathematical practice a top priority.

This course is intended to provide students an overview of the basics of personal and business finances. The focus on the course is the application of basic math skills in real life financial scenarios.  This course introduces students to the principles of personal finance and how to become financially capable – learning to understand topics related to finance such as making money, spending money, and saving money wisely. Preparing students to become competent consumers and employees is a major goal of this course. Some time will also be spent on business applications in regards to finance, such as personnel, production, purchasing and sales. The course is taught from a mathematical perspective, focusing on the applications of basic math skills in real life situations. Students will demonstrate understanding through collaboration on a variety of activities, projects, and class presentations. 

Grade Level: 11 – 12

Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry (Recommended “B” or better in both semesters) 

Fee: College Board testing fee ($TBA)

Video Description: AP Calculus AB

 

Topics to be covered include functions and graphs, limits and continuity, differential calculus, integral calculus, and graphing calculator applications.  It is recommended that all students enrolled in this course take the AP Calculus AB exam in the spring.  Students who pass the test may receive college credit, advanced placement or both depending on the policies at the institution. AP classes are comparable to college level courses and utilize college level content.  These classes are taught in an accelerated format and require extensive out-of-class work (approximately two hours per course per night).

 

This course covers two semesters of college calculus. Topics to be covered include all topics from AP Calculus AB, parametric, polar and vector functions, Euler’s method, applications of integrals, integration techniques, partial fractions, logistical differential equations, polynomial approximations, and series. Students take the AP exam at the end of the course. Students who pass the test may receive college credit, advanced placement or both depending on the policies at the institution. AP classes are comparable to college level courses and utilize college level content. These classes are taught in an accelerated format and require extensive out-of-class work (approximately two hours per course per night).
